No-bake cheesecake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Cheesecake is a creamy dessert made with a biscuit base and soft cream cheese (cottage cheese). With the help of berries, fruits, and other ingredients, you can give it any flavor you like. It's inexpensive to prepare, nutritious, and most importantly, very healthy—especially for children who need calcium but can't stand cottage cheese. The special feature of this recipe is that we don't use the oven at all. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.

1. Soak the dry gelatin in 2/3 cup of warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes. In a bowl, mash the cottage cheese, add cream and sugar, then mix. Wash the orange, grate the zest, squeeze the juice from one half, and add both to the cottage cheese mixture. Blend with a mixer until smooth and lump-free, then stir in the gelatin.
