FOOD LOVERS RECIPES
3 tubs smooth cream cheese, at room temperature
(I used Lancewood brand for this one)
1 tin condensed milk
3 teaspoons gelatine
125 ml cream
juice of one big lemon
2 packets Tennis biscuits
120 g margarine/ butter, melted
fresh strawberries for garnish
Crush biscuits and combine with melted margarine before lining your loose bottomed cake tin. Refrigerate til needed.
Dissolve gelatine in lukewarm water (30 ml), be careful that it doesn’t set.
Next beat cream cheese untill soft, add condensed milk and continue beating for another 2 mins.
Juice the lemon, strain the juice and add. Mix well before stirring in the cream.
Lastly stir in the gelatine until completely mixed and smooth. Pour into your biscuit base and chill overnight.
The following day you can decorate with anything you might fancy; blueberries, pineapple jam, granadilla pulp, peach slices, etc.
I used strawberry halves around the cheesecake.
I reduced over medium heat:
± 1 cup of fresh strawberries
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
1 cup water
¾ cup sugar
Once slightly thickened, I blended it with my hand blender, cooled it down, then garnished the cheesecake just before serving. Enjoy everyone!
