That looks so good…i have a couple of questions: i don't get here whipping cream or its powder, i get only cream, how do i make whipped cream at home?
i get lot of fresh strawberries here, how can i make a simple jam out of it? Or can i just put fresh strawberries on top of cake?
Congratulations on your 2012 wedding and I hope that 2013 is a great year for you as well.
The first cheesecakes I ever made were no-bake ones for my father though he preferred cherry filling.
gorgeous preperation..
Cake looks droolworthy..
Wishing you and your family a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year:)
Happy new year wishes to you and your family.
Beautiful and stunning cheesecake.

@ImroseYES U CAN USE.
Looks delicious!
Simply amazing! Googling for hours, came Across this awesomely simple recipe which uses v easily available ingredients! Tastes yummy as well. Keep posting 🙂
@aarthiSorry u cannot make whipping cream at home, even if you make you cannot whip it like store bought. You can get whipping cream powder in online stores. And i will share jam recipe soon, yes u can put fresh strawberry on top to. But make sure you cut it and sprinkle sugar over it. This way it will be sweet and saucy
Aarthi…thanks a lot for sharing the unique recipes. I made mango cheese cake for my anniversary and it was a huge hit and thanks to you :). I am going to try this cake for this weekend. 1 quick doubt what is the difference between these two types. You had used gelatin for mango cake and lemon here.
@saatvikaYou dont have to use gelatin in this,it will set.
i tried this cake ,but for me the creamy part was not stiff evevn refrigerated for ad day.it was more like an ice cream ….
Amazingly simple recipe.Am truly inspired to try.Thanks for showing and explaining each step and process with pictures.Great help.
can't get enough of your pictorials, Aarthi! They r awesome! I love love love them! Keep up the good work!
15cm round ….is it diameter or radius of the pan
@lijihivydiameter

dear aarti
you are just simply awesome for the way you have gone after what you really wanted in life! Hats off to you!

After the final step where should we place the cake pan ,in freezer or normal compartment of fridge. My cake tasted very nice but had ice crystals in between.what mistake could i have made.
@AnonymousU should set this in fridge. not in freezer
Thankyou very much Aarthi.
