After all that drooling seeing 2 posts by my dear blogger friends, Rafee and Nava. I couldn’t stop but make it. My hubby calls me bottomless pit when it comes to cheese cakes. That’s been my love for a cheese cake.
I first got a taste of this in 2007 when I had invited our dear friends over for dinner and they wanted to bring the dessert. Since then I am indebted to them for introducing me to the no-bake cheese cake. During my pregnancy and until Saana turned one, the only thing I ate was this and I guess it showed on my baby too. Look at her at 6 months and you know where all that cheese cake went..:-)

Now for the last 2 years I have stopped making it often. I think the last I made one was 7-8 months back. Yet whenever I feel like eating one I do drop by star bucks, I love their New York cheese cake.
Over to the recipe, I have been making the no-gelatin version all the while and this is the first time I was adding in gelatin. I had read Nillega’s answer to a query where she says when you use gelatin it gives more a mousse like texture. I felt that was true. With gelatin or no, I love it. Cheese cake is the word!

Hey Reks was waiting for the release of the recipe ever since I saw ur pic in fb.Wow what presentation !Love the sumo baby btw it took me a minute till I reread 2007:))))
This is a gorgeous dessert. No bake? Count me it. The weather is just too hot to turn on the oven these days.
this looks so delicious… love that first pic of sanaa… glad to see that she has lost all that weight that her mom had fed her, otherwise she would've cursed u all thru her life… hehe… please pass on that jar, i love individual cheesecakes… just like you say, not something you can indulge in all the time. i've been wanting to go the cheesecake factory over here since it has opened but my HD always seems to run in the opposite direction when he sees it… hehe…
