1. Creamy Blueberry Cheesecake
Shared by Navdeep Verma, Head Chef at Bakingo, this cheesecake combines a buttery graham cracker crust with a rich filling made from smooth cream cheese and whipped cream. The final touch is a tangy-sweet blueberry topping made with fresh or frozen berries, sugar, and a hint of lemon. After chilling, it becomes a luxurious no-bake dessert that melts in your mouth.
2. Classic New York Cheesecake
Chef Sheeraz Jawed from Barista Coffee shares his traditional take on the iconic New York cheesecake. This version features a biscuit crust and a rich filling of cream cheese, fresh cream, and a small amount of egg to hold it together. Baked using a water bath for that silky finish, it’s best served chilled with a hot coffee.
3. Vegan Citrus Cheesecake
Chef Apurva Kapur from Vedatya offers a dairy-free, eggless option using soaked cashews and coconut cream to replicate the creaminess of traditional cheesecake. Enhanced with fresh tangerine juice and zest, this vegan cheesecake is refreshing and packed with flavor. Topped with poached pears and syrup, it’s a plant-based dream.
4. Eggless Chocolate Cheesecake
Created by Dheeraj Mathur, Executive Chef at Radisson Blu, this indulgent version features an Oreo crust and a velvety chocolate filling enhanced with coffee and cocoa.
