What you’ll need to make grape cheesecake recipe

250 g (8.8 oz) Mascarpone cheese
150 g (5.3 oz) plain yogurt
200 ml (6.8 fl.oz/ about ¾ cup) whipping cream
200 g (7.1 oz) sour cream
50 g (¼ cup/ 1.8 oz) sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
225 g (7.9 oz) chocolate cookies
500 g (1.1 lbs) grapes, washed and dried

  • Very important all ingredients for the cheesecake filling must be very well chilled!!
  • Use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if you don’t have vanilla sugar. Just add an extra 1 tablespoon regular sugar.

How to make no bake grape cheesecake recipe

Put the cookies in a freezer bag and beat with a rolling pin or something similar to create crumbs and set aside.

Whip very well chilled whipping cream until light and fluffy.

Add vanilla sugar, normal sugar, yogurt, sour cream and Mascarpone cheese to a bowl and combine well.

Then add whipped cream and mix gently, until you have a homogeneous mixture. You want to retain the air in whipped cream, so that you’ll have a less dense and voluminous dessert.

Next layer no bake cheesecake and grape dessert. Start with the cheesecake filling aka. cream and end with crumbs.

Add a layer of cheesecake filling at the bottom. Then arrange grapes on top and sprinkle with chocolate cookie crumbs.

Repeat the process until you’ve used up the cheesecake filling, grapes and crumbs. Done!
