CHEESECAKE, as promised!

[petchy]

for the base
1 normal size pack of digestive biccies (or use choc chip cookies for a change!)
about 100 grammes of butter or margarine

melt the butter, crumble the biccies, mix and press into a round sprung cake tin, the type that comes apart. cover the bottom bit with greaseproof paper to make it easier if you want to transfer the cake to a nice plate afterwards! place in fridge to harden while you make the filling.

for the filling
1 normal size pack of plain philadelphia cheese
1 pack of jelly, any flavour you want, but the jelly squares are better than the powder!
just enough boiling water to dissolve the jelly (3-4 tablespoons-ish)
1 tub of whipping cream, about 300 ml i believe?

- whip the cream to soft peaks
- make up the jelly with the 3-4 tbs water (ignore the packet instructions!)
- mix the dissolved jelly (whilst still hot) and the philly cheese to a smooth finish
- mix the philly + jelly mixture with the whipped cream

now just pour the filling onto the base and leave in the fridge until it has set, probably a couple of hours at least. the filling will look runny to start with, but DON'T panic, the jelly will make it set!

sorry about the inaccurate measurements, i don't use recipes very often and this is one i made up about 6 or 7 years back which has proved a huge success!

I am addicted to the Heinz cheesecakes just now, Strawberry Swirl. Thanks for the recipe Petchy, looks scrummy. xxx

sounds wonderful - I will try that.

I make one with the same base and then a mixture of philadelphia, double cream, lemon juice and caster sugar for the topping.........very nice but REALLY unhealthy!! Good for your calcium levels during pregnancy though

 

Thank you I now love you!!
