No-bake cheesecake!

i LOVEEEEEEEEE cheesecake. The creamy texture, the sweet and tangy taste and the slight hint of crumb at the base... its just YUM.

Unfortunately, im not too fond of the store bought ones that taste just average and cost an arm and a leg..

So needless to say when i stumbled upon this particular recipe handed down to me by my brother Aqm, I was ecstatic.

Aqm.. the brother with the secret recipe..

As with almost every recipe I come across, a few improvisations and it wasnt long before this cheesecake became a superhit with family , friends and ME

Sadly, i dont have step to step pictures of the cake with me but i promise to insert them later whenever i make it again..

So heres the simplest, most amazing tasting, no-bake cheesecake you will ever taste...

Ingredients

1 pack digestive biscuits
5 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups cream
1 cup softened cream cheese
1.5 cups sweetened condensed milk
4 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp heaped gelatin
8 tbsp warm water

What to do?

In a 9 inch round flat pan (preferably with a loose, removable bottom) , crush the digestive biscuits finely and mix with the butter. press it flat against the base of the pan to make your cheesecake crust.

Freeze for an hour.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, cream cheese and condensed milk.

In a cup, mix the gelatin and  the lemon juice to the warm water.

Add this to the cream&cheese mixture.

Mix well.

Pour this mixture on top of the base of the cheesecake and freeze for 2-3 hrs.

Serve with any topping you like ! (works wonders with strawberry, blueberry, cherry, nutella or plain!! )

Let me know how it goes....

Stay beautiful xxx
