This is low calorie cheesecake with no fresh cream.The topping I used was blackberry

topping,and I baked only the crust for 15 minutes.The rest of the method is ‘No Bake’.It’s easy

to make if the ingredients are at room temperature.

As gelatine is used as a setting agent,the exclusion of fresh cream did not make much of a

difference.Use thick coconut milk .(coconut milk cartons or tins can be used).

The sugar I used was brown sugar.(no white sugar).

The toppings can be innovated to match the coconut milk taste.

So let’s get into the recipe now.
