What is Paradise Cheesecake?

Cheesecake has been around for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Greece, where it was reportedly served to Olympians as a source of energy. Over time, it evolved into countless variations, baked, unbaked, dense, fluffy, you name it. This version, however, leans on the modern convenience of gelatin to create a firm yet creamy texture without ever needing to turn on the oven.

Are you aware that one of the largest cheesecakes ever made weighed over 9,000 pounds. While we’re not making anything that extreme today, this paradise cheesecake will still impress.

Pro Tips for the Best Paradise Cheesecake

• A fine, even crumb will help your crust hold together better. Use a food processor or a sealed bag and a rolling pin.
• Make sure your butter is fully melted so it coats the crumbs evenly for a solid base.
• Whip the cream to the right consistency, soft peaks are ideal. Over-whipping can lead to a grainy texture, and under-whipping will make the cheesecake too soft.
• Use a springform pan, as this makes it much easier to remove the cheesecake without damaging the crust.
• This cheesecake is best enjoyed straight from the fridge for the perfect texture and flavor.

Can I Use a Different Type of Cookie for the Crust?

Absolutely! While standard cookies work well, you can experiment with chocolate cookies, graham crackers, or even digestive biscuits for a slightly different taste.

How Do I Prevent My Cheesecake from Being Too Soft?

The key is in the gelatin. Make sure it’s fully dissolved and evenly mixed into the filling. Also, allow enough time for the cheesecake to set in the fridge.

Can I Add Fruit to This Recipe?

Yes! You can mix in fruit puree with the filling or add fresh fruit on top before serving. Berries, mango, or passion fruit work particularly well.

What If I Don’t Have Gelatin?

If you don’t have gelatin, you can use agar-agar as a substitute. Just follow the package instructions since it sets differently than gelatin.

Can I Freeze Paradise Cheesecake?

Yes, but with a caveat. While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze it for up to a month. Just thaw it in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Why Did My Cheesecake Not Set Properly?

If your cheesecake didn’t set, the gelatin may not have been fully dissolved or you may not have given it enough time in the fridge. Double-check these steps for next time you decide to make this cake.

How to Make Paradise Cheesecake

Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. In a bowl, mix them with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a baking pan, ensuring an even layer and set aside.

In a bowl, mix gelatin with a little whipped cream and beat the rest of the whipped cream. Add in condensed milk and gelatin mixture.

Pour the creamy filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Transfer the cheesecake to the fridge and let it set for at least 4 hours. Once fully set, sprinkle the top with more crushed cookies for extra texture. Slice, serve, and watch it disappear!
