Introduction about Chocolate and pear no bake cheesecake

There are no pears in the filling, so feel free to replace them with other fruits or toppings you like, but I love chocolate and pear combo! It’s autumn here in Switzerland and there are so many delicious variety of pears, I couldn’t help buying those beautiful red peel pears.

Since I used a spring pan with removable bottom, unlike some other no bake chocolate tarts, I added some agar powder and corn starch to the filling to get a firmier texture and to make the unmolding process easier.

The texture is firm and easy to cut, yet it’s creamy and light in the mouth.

I recommend using the ingredients as mentioned and following all the steps of the recipe. Using more agar or corn starch will make your cake too dense/hard or jelly-like. I used agar powder, so make sure you’re not using agar flakes, which have to be previously soaked and boiled.

Since we’re adding agar and corn starch to the filling, we don’t need canned coconut milk. Regular full fat coconut milk from a carton will do the job.

Dissolving agar and corn starch into water before adding to the warm mixture prevents the formation of lumps, so don’t skip this step.

To make this cake nut-free, replace the pecans with the same amount of pumpkin or sunflower seeds.

I hope you guys will like this recipe! As always, I’d love to hear from you and to see your beautiful creations!

Cooking tips

Here are some tips for making a delicious Chocolate and Pear No Bake Cheesecake:

• Use high-quality ingredients: To make a great-tasting cheesecake, start with high-quality ingredients like fresh pears, premium chocolate, and cream cheese.
• Crushed cookie crust: To make the crust, use crushed cookies like graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or Oreos. Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until well combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of your cheesecake pan.
• Softened cream cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will ensure that the cheesecake mixture is smooth and creamy.

• Sweetened condensed milk: Use sweetened condensed milk to sweeten and thicken the cheesecake filling. This will give your cheesecake a rich, creamy texture.
• Melted chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth and shiny. Let it cool slightly before mixing it with the cheesecake filling.
• Pureed pear: Puree ripe pears in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add the puree to the cheesecake mixture to give it a fruity flavor and a natural sweetness.
• Chill the cheesecake: Once you’ve assembled the cheesecake, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will give the cheesecake time to set and allow the flavors to meld together.
• Serve with whipped cream and chocolate shavings: Before serving, top the cheesecake with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. This will add an extra layer of flavor and texture to your dessert.

With these tips, you’re sure to make a delicious chocolate and pear no bake cheesecake that everyone will love!
