I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
1. Place biscuits into TM bowl. Blitz on speed 5 for 20 seconds or until finely crumbed.
2. Add butter, and blitz again on speed 5 for 10 seconds or until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the biscuit and butter mixture into the base of a springform tin and refrigerate until required.
4. Wipe the TM bowl with some paper towel to remove any remaining crumbs before proceeding with the filling.
5. Place the water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water surface. Leave undisturbed for the gelatin to 'bloom' while you proceed with the rest of the filling.
6. Place the strawberries (or other fruit of your choice) into the TM bowl and blitz on speed 7 for 30 seconds, or until completely blended.
7. OPTIONAL: You may wish to strain your fruit mixture to remove seeds before returning it to the TM bowl. This would be especially necessary if you have chosen to use raspberries, blackberries or passionfruit in place of the strawberries, If not straining, proceed staight to step 8.
8. Add the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, lemon juice and icing sugar to the bowl with the fruit mixture and blitz on speed 7 for one minute.
9. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and then turn the machine on to speed 5 and remove the measuring cup. Slowly add the gelatin mixture through the MC hole while the machine is running.
10. Once the gelatin is addded, turn up to speed 7 for another 20 seconds.
11. Pour the filling over the prepared base and refrigerate for at least 4 hours prior to serving.

Tip
You can make this cheesecake with almost any fruit of your choosing (except for pineapple or kiwifruit which will stop the cheesecake from setting).
If you use a fruit with a lot of seeds, ensure you strain the fruit mix at Step 7. For a passionfruit cheesecake you could save some seeds to stir in on reverse for 5 seconds before pouring the filling over the base.
Top the cheesecake with fresh berries to serve.

Comments
Wish I had of read the comments first because mine never set either but it made a lovely strawberry pudding!
This didn't set for me either 😭
took it over to surprise mum for her birthday as strawberry cheesecake is her fav and it was sloppy after leaving overnight.
After reading the comments it sounds like the gelatin ration is wrong 😑
I followed recipe at 1/2 cup water to 2 teaspoons of gelatin
Beautiful flavour though so I'm going to try again with more gelatin
Made three of these over the weekend and none of them set! They looked set but as soon as you cut it, it went everywhere! 😢
Was a bit worried after reading reviews but worked perfectly using 5 gelatin leaves soaked in cold water according to packet then stir into warmed lemon juice in saucepan..
Only issue is slightly too sweet but still delish!
Wish I had read the reviews before I started this! Mine did not set either and I tried with both cold water and with hot water!!! It tastes great, but the minute you take it out of the fridge it starts to 'melt'!!! Not good!
Did it work with the boiling water? I have surplus strawberries I want to use but I don't want to waste them. I was going to follow another user tip of 3 teaspoons of gelatin and boiling water?
I tried it for the first time and it was a flop. After some research I think the water needs to be boiled water not cold. Trying again today...fingers crossed!
I made this on the weekend and like everyone else it didn't set either. Im not sure what happened as I followed the recipe to the letter and this is the first time my cheesecake has never set. I'm thinking the water to gelatine ratio may have been wrong.
On a plus side I told the kids it was strawberry yoghurt and they lapped it up
I made this on Sat to take to a dinner party. Took it out to decorate and it had a slight wobble so was set. Drove to the dinner party took it out and it was a runny mess, looked like a smoothie not a cheesecake. Such a waste of ingredients plus the embarrasment of not being able to serve up a dessert. Took it home and it still hasnt set.
Didn't set for me either! I followed the recipe, used stated amounts of lemon juice and gelatine, and gave it 7 hours in the fridge to set but still no luck. I've never had a no-bake cheesecake not set for me before, so I'm stumped as to why this recipe didn't work.
