Creamy no-bake cheesecake with luscious guava swirls and crunchy biscuit crust

# What You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 7 ounces digestive biscuits, crushed
02 - 2.6 ounces unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 14 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 4.2 ounces powdered sugar

# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine crushed biscuits with melted butter until well blended. Press firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate while preparing filling.
02 - In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in vanilla extract and lime juice, mixing thoroughly.
03 - In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer or whisk.
04 - Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula until fully incorporated and smooth throughout.
05 - In a small saucepan over low heat, combine guava marmalade and water, stirring until smooth and slightly runny. Cool to room temperature.
06 - Pour half of cheesecake filling over chilled crust. Drizzle half of guava marmalade over filling and swirl gently with a skewer or knife. Add remaining filling and repeat swirling with remaining marmalade.
07 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
08 - Carefully remove cheesecake from pan, slice, and serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No oven required, which means your kitchen stays cool and your stress stays lower.
  • The tropical guava cuts through the richness with just enough bright acidity to keep you reaching for another bite.
  • It looks like you spent hours on it, but honestly, the most time is just waiting in the fridge.
02 -
  • Cold cream cheese will create lumps no matter how hard you beat it, so pull it from the fridge 30 minutes before you start.
  • Don't skip cooling the guava marmalade, or it will cook the bottom layer and create a weird separated texture that nobody wants.
03 -
  • Use a springform pan with a solid bottom, or line it with parchment before adding the crust—trust me on this one.
  • The guava marmalade tastes best when it's at room temperature, which means preparing it while your cream cheese is chilling is perfect timing.
