good old fashioned no-bake cheese cake

I thought I'd start off my blog by uploading an old family recipe that has been passed down through a few generations.  It's really simple, takes about 20 minutes to make and then you need to leave it to set for at least half an hour, so really I'd normally give myself at least an hour.

You will need:

Equipment:
23cm tin with removable base
Whisk - Hand or Electric
Blender or Rolling Pin

For the base:
250g of digestive biscuits, or alternative
100g of soft butter

For the topping:
600g of cream cheese
2 small pots of yogurt - about 100g
284ml of whipping cream (approx a small pot)

Method:

First, break up the digestive biscuits using a rolling pin or blender until there are very few lumps.  Melt the butter in a pan and then add the biscuits to the butter and mix.  Once the mixture has come together put into a cake pan with removable base.  Leave the base in the fridge or freezer to cool and set for about 10 or 15 minutes.

Then, whip the cream using an electric or hand whisk until stiff.  Add the cream cheese and yogurt and stir until entirely mixed.  

Once the base as set pour the topping into the cake pan on top of the base and evenly spread over.  Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

When you are ready to serve add a topping of crushed maltesters, fruit pieces or anything that will compliment the flavours of your yogurt!  

Now your cheesecake is ready to eat!  

Bain sult as!
