My First Cheesecake!
Ive been cooking alot lately
and experimenting with new recipes
so when I told my mum-in-law that i wanted
to do a cheesecake,
just because it doesnt require an oven
which i dont have one,
she decided to share this recipe with me
from *Philadephia Cheese* and
make one together!
Ingredients:
1 cup of biscuit crumbs - approx 10 biscuits (we used digestive biscuits, you may swap to Oreo cookies for new kicks ;p)
1/3 cup of butter, melted
2 x 250g Philadelphia brand cream cheese, softened at room temperature
2 teaspoons of gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup of boiling water
1 x 400g can of sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
Steps:
1) Mix biscuit crumbs with melted butter and press into base of a 20cm pan and chill it fridge.
2) Beat cream cheese with electric beater until smooth, mix in gelatin mixture, condensed milk, lemon juice and rind.
3) Pour onto crumb base and chill in fridge (2-3 hours or overnight)
4) Optional: Top and served with fruit of choice or white chocolate!
Fast, easy
and delicious!
Of course you can reduce the amount
of gelatin (which even i thought was too thick)
but my mum-in-law was worried
that the strawberries would fall off!
Just cant get over,
how beautiful it is,
although i'd probably work
on my knife skills next. -_-
