Lately, I’ve been craving for sweets and desserts after meals and I choose to pick up a chocolate biscuit or an ice cream to satisfy my sweet cravings. Cakes and pastries and a good option too, but instantly baking a cake and digging into it needed a lot of patience. And then I recollected a dessert I’d prepared a few moths back, Orange and Lotus Parfait which is a super quick and instant dessert with just two or three ingredients. I thought of preparing a dessert similar to the Orange Parfait, that needs absolutely No Oven and No Baking, that’s the No Bake Apple Cheese Cake!!
Apple’s are one of my favourite fruits and it’s in season now and it’s a perfect fruit for this dessert. No Bake Apple Cheese Cake is again a cold dessert which is absolutely simple and easy to make. All you need is a pan, a whisk, a spatula and two glasses to assemble this. This recipes calls for caramelised apples, for which all you need is butter, brown sugar and some all purpose flour to bind it all together, flavouring it with a dash of cinnamon powder which takes this dessert to just another level. Also, Apple and Cinnamon make an amazing combination and very well together. Layer up the apple mixture with whipped cream and cream cheese along with some biscuit crumbs and serve chilled.
