No baked ricotta cheesecake

Break the cookies into arbitrary pieces and put them in the chopper bowl. We turn cookies into small crumbs. You can also just grate the cookies. This is a more time consuming option, but it can help out if a blender is out of stock. Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove and mix with the resulting crumb. Knead the mass and put it in a mold in which we will cook the cheesecake. Tamp the mass with the back of a tablespoon and smooth it to a flat surface. Do not press the crumb too hard to the bottom, as after hardening the cake may turn out to be too dense and tough. We put the form with the cake in the refrigerator for half an hour.

It is important to note that if you first line the mold with an even layer of parchment, then further extraction of the finished cheesecake will be much easier.

To prepare the cream, put the ricotta, sour cream and half of the specified amount of sugar in a separate container. Beat everything together with a mixer at high speed. It is important to mix all the ingredients until smooth. In a separate container, beat the heavy cream with the remaining sugar until a dense foam forms. Pour gelatin with water, let it swell a little and stir until completely dissolved, heating in a water bath. Mix the whipped cream into the ricotta mass, kneading with a spatula in a circular, gentle motion. Next, pour the dissolved gelatin in a thin stream, without stopping to knead. If there is any doubt about the complete dissolution of the gelatinous granules, it is better to pour it through a sieve so that undissolved granules do not get into the cream.

Fill in the form with the cake with the prepared cream. We level the surface with the back of a spoon or a silicone spatula. We put the cheesecake mold in the refrigerator and let it cool completely and harden. This will take three to four hours.

Rinse and dry the strawberries. We take out the chilled dessert from the refrigerator.

We decorate the surface of the cheesecake with berries, arranging them in random order. It is recommended to cut into portions with a warm knife to get a beautiful cut.
