The half of can of coconut milk went into coconut mousse two weeks ago and the other half went here, into a cheesecake. And not just some cheesecake, but No-bake Raffaello Cheesecake. I´m sure you have already tasted Raffaello so you know it is made with creamy coconut filling, crispy wafer and an almond. All these three ingredients are present in a cheesecake, into which you don´t even need the original store-bought Raffaello, only on the top as a decoration, if you wish. Crispiness and almonds can be found in crust since it is made with chopped almonds, shredded coconut and biscuits – this way, almonds are present in the cheesecake, but you don´t need a lot of them. Creaminess, that is the cheesecake itself. It so no-bake so it guarantees it is creamy. Moreover, it really tastes like Raffello, subtly sweet thanks to white chocolate and sugar, and with just the right amount of coconut taste thanks to coconut milk. I really liked it and I hope you will, as well.

Dobry den,
Mascarpone a ostatne prisady pisete, ze premiesame s vyslahanou slahackou. Staci jemne vareskou?
Dakujem.
Dobrý deň, ja ich premiešame robotom so “stierkovou” meltičkou na najnižších otážkách. Stačí vareškou, len musíte dať dať pozor, aby sa mascarpone rovnomerne premiešalo a neostali hrudky. Robotom na vyšších otáčkach sa neodporúča, inak hrozí, žš sa hmota zdrcne, takže vareškou úplne v pohode 🙂
