This light and delicious NO BAKE cheesecake is perfect for summer. It is made with lower fat cream cheese, whipping cream, Swiss meringue and garnished with a mix of coconut and mint. I have also added a layer of cake roll in between, but other cake leftover or even Oreo cookies would make a great substitute.

- Combine the rum and lime juice in a medium, heatproof bowl, and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface. Allow to soak for 5 minutes, then place the bowl over a small pan of gently simmering water and stir several times to melt the gelatin, about 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the pan and cool the gelatin slightly.
- Beat the cream cheese at medium speed until soft and light, scraping the bowl and beaters often. Beat in the cream until smooth. Combine the egg whites and sugar in the clean, dry bowl of the electric mixer and heat over simmering water, whisking constantly, until the egg whites are hot and sugar is dissolved. Attach the bowl to the mixer and whip with the whisk attachment at medium speed until cold and firm.
- Beat 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture into the dissolved gelatin, then beat the gelatin mixture into the remaining cream cheese. Fold in the meringue in several additions.
- Line a 25x13x6 cm /10x5x2 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap and set aside. Pour half of the filling into the prepared loaf pan, then the Swiss rolls and lastly the other half of the mousse. Cover and refrigerate until at least 6 hours or overnight until set.
- Use a vegetable chopper to process the desiccated coconut and mint leaves until well combined. Remove the cake from the form and place it on a serving plate. Sprinkle the coconut-mint mixture all over the cake.

looks awesome and lovely presentation as always..
I love all the flavors in this...lime, coconut, mint. It looks amazing too.
This looks very good!!! No one in my family likes cheesecake but me :(
As hot as it is, anything "no bake" sounds perfect! This looks absolutely scrumptious. :)
Beautiful presentation! Most no-bake cheesecakes are served in a graham cracker crust...this is so....ELEGANT!
Beautiful and delicious looking dessert! Looks very pretty with the rolls in the centre!
This recipe looks quite different from a regular unbaked cheesecake, esp with the way the meringue is used. Never seen this before - was this your own invention?
looks tempting n delicious...

@Three-CookiesI thought that's not something new..no, I didn't invent it, and the recipe is slightly adapted from food network.
i wouldn't have thought of this flavor ! great that you experiment so much. looks lovely
You really had me at unbaked and when I saw the photos and read the recipe I was all yours! Fantastic!
The best part about this, other than the eating, is that you dont have to turn your oven on. Because it is easy to make is a added plus.

I could have SWORN i commented on this the first time i saw it but it seems not! I dont really know where to start, i think this is one of the most unique and gorgeous sounding summer recipes ive come across so far and looks far more impressive and difficult than the instructions seem. So beautiful and scrumptious, you have such a lot different and special recipes, this is yet another to be added to the to-make list :)
What a fun cheesecake! How about giving me some???
*kisses* HH
What a great summer dessert! The cake roulade in the center looks fantastic.
It looks as elegant as a wedding cake to me! I am trying to stay away from baked cheesecakes since I can never bake without a crack in the middle. Perfect recipe for me.
This is sheer elegance!
I am drooling at your unbaked cheesecake. Lovely ! Great idea to add leftover cake for this recipe :) and thanks for sharing another wonderful cheesecake :)
We are in need of cool desserts like this! It is so hot right now in Texas. Thank you for sharing this creamy dessert with me. I hope you had a joy-filled weekend, and I'm wishing you a blessed week full of love, laughter and family.

I love no-bake cheesecakes. The rum, the coconut, and the mint makes it so refreshing, and give it a nice "kick" from the rum. Delicious and irresistible:DDD

What a delightful dessert for the summer, Angie! I love your interpretation with the mint and coconut and also the idea of putting a cake roll in the center to offset all of the creaminess. Wonderful cheesecake!
That is such a cool idea.
Oh my God this looks so good and i`m sure that it is delicious too. I think it is not a very difficult recipe so i will give it a try, thanks a lot for sharing.
