No Bake Turtle Cheesecake {VIDEO} The Recipe Rebel (2024)

FAQs

Why did no bake cheesecake not set? ›

The first is that your ingredients are not cold enough. When a no-bake cheesecake recipe calls for heavy cream, it's relying on you being able whip up the cream. This will make the cheesecake firm in texture. However, heavy cream won't whip up well unless it's cold.

Your cream cheese needs to be room temperature before mixing. Trying to whip cold cream cheese into the filling will result in little lumps. Try this: Pull the cream cheese out of the fridge at least an hour before mixing. Unwrap the cream cheese and cut it into cubes if you're in a hurry to get the cake in the fridge.

Yes, you can freeze a no bake cheesecake to help it set. It's better to use the refrigerator and let it set slowly but in a pinch you can help it along by putting it in the freezer for approx. 1 hour. Then let it finish setting in the refrigerator.

This cheesecake, using caramel, chocolate, and nuts, is named after Turtles, a confection developed in the United States by Johnson's Candy Company in 1918, so named because the shape of the treat resembles a turtle.

When in doubt, give it a smell. A sour, off-putting odor is a definite sign it has spoiled and should not be consumed. Always store your no bake cheesecake in the refrigerator. If not consuming immediately, cover it with a cake dome or plastic wrap, not foil as it can give off a metallic taste.

If you rush it, you risk cutting into a cheesecake that is still liquid in the center. The recipe calls for two and a half to three hours for chilling, but longer is even better. Let it sit overnight in the refrigerator for easier slicing, or make it up to two days ahead if you're orchestrating a big party.

To thicken a no-bake cheesecake, refrigerate it for an extended period or consider adding dissolved gelatin, more cream cheese, or Greek yogurt to the mixture before chilling. Now, when we venture into the territory of no-bake cheesecakes, the plot thickens.

Over mixing a cheesecake filling incorporates too much air, which the heavy base can't hold. That may make if rise and fall and change the texture. The bigger issue, I think, is the water in the cream cheese comes out and that makes for a grainy texture and possibly wet, broken cake filling.

Cover with plastic and refrigerate until the filling is firm and cold, about 6 hours or to an internal temperature of 40°F (4°C).

I'd say it's too much liquid in the cheesecake batter and it didn't set fast enough and the liquid and moisture got into the base. Baking the base would help, but I guess if you need to bake it then there's no point to make a no bake cheesecake. Buiscuits, butter and a bit of cocoa powder for the base.
