Was on leave yesterday and have made a cheese cake. The recipe requires no baking and will be suitable for those with no oven.
Cheese Cake
(recipe from a cookbook - did not take down the name)
Preparation time: 30 mins for the base crust
Chilling time: at least 2 hours
Serves: 12
Cost: about $8 for Kraft's philadelphia cream cheese, butter, marie biscuit and Nestle cream
Ingredients:
Base
1. 1 packet of marie biscuit
2. 125g butter
Cheese Cake
1. 200g sugar
2. 250g cream cheese
3. 100ml water
4. 2 tbsp gelatine
5. 1 tin Nestle cream
6. 1 punnet strawberries, halved (I skipped this)
Preparation:
1. Let butter and cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 mins
2. Crush marie biscuit & mix well with butter.
3. Spread the mixture on a 20cm diameter cake tin and press hard to form the base. Put the base in the fridge.
4. Mix sugar with cream cheese in a mixing bowl using a spoon.
5. Boil water, add gelatine and turn hear down. Keep stirring on low heat till gelatine dissolved.
6. When the mixture boils, add sugar and cream cheese mixture and stir over a low flame.
7. Add cream and keep stirring till mixture boils.
8. Pour mixture onto the chilled biscuit base.
9. Chill cheesecake until set and garnish with strawberries halves before serving.
Tip : To crush the biscuit, I put them into a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to "run over" the biscuit. Also you need a springform cake tin to make this cake as it cannot be turned over when ready. A springform cake tin has a metal " buckle" by the round side and the base comes off separately when the "buckle" is released.
I found the above recipe too sweet and cannot really taste the cheese. Maybe need to reduce the sugar and add more cream cheese?
