Easy Guava Swirl Cheesecake (Printable)

Creamy no-bake cheesecake with tangy guava swirls on a buttery biscuit crust. Perfect tropical dessert for any occasion.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 7 oz digestive biscuits (approximately 14 cookies), crushed
02 - 2.6 oz unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 14 oz cream cheese, softened
04 - 4.2 oz powdered sugar
05 - 1 cup heavy cream, cold
06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
07 - 1 tbsp lime juice

→ Guava Swirl

08 - 6.3 oz guava marmalade
09 - 2 tbsp water

# Directions:

01 - Combine crushed biscuits with melted butter in a medium bowl until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
02 - Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl until completely smooth and creamy. Incorporate vanilla extract and lime juice, mixing until well combined.
03 - In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
04 - Combine guava marmalade and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth and slightly pourable. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
05 - Spread half of the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Drizzle half of the prepared guava mixture over the surface. Use a skewer or knife tip to create gentle swirl patterns.
06 - Top with remaining cheesecake filling, spreading evenly. Drizzle remaining guava mixture and create swirl patterns as before.
07 - Cover the pan and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight, until completely firm and set.
08 - Release springform ring carefully. Slice into portions and serve chilled.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • No-Bake Simplicity: Achieve a professional-looking dessert with zero baking time, perfect for keeping the kitchen cool.
  • Tropical Flavor Profile: The guava marmalade adds a unique, fruity dimension that pairs beautifully with the creamy filling.
  • Elegant Presentation: The marbled pink swirls create a visual masterpiece that looks like it came from a high-end bakery.
02 -
  • Cold Cream: Always use heavy cream straight from the fridge; cold cream whips up much faster and creates more stable peaks.
  • Subtle Swirls: Use a light touch with the skewer when creating the marble pattern; over-swirling will mix the colors too much rather than leaving distinct ribbons.
  • Proper Chilling: Resisting the urge to slice early is key. A full 6 hours in the fridge ensures the filling is firm enough to hold its shape perfectly.
