My niece is leaving for UK to complete her undergraduate degree this week. We are going to miss her very much. So, we invited her to our house and hosted a small tea party to say goodbye to her. I know she is an ultimate 'cheese person' and love all types of cooking, cakes and desserts made from cheese. I decided to make a simple non-bake cheesecake for her, as it is light and refreshing with a twist of lemon flavour.
Light and Soft Non-Bake Cream Cheese Cake
Ingredients:Crust
200gm digestive biscuits
½ cup butter, melted
Filing
1 envelope (10gm) gelatin powder
¼ cup hot water

For crust
1. line a 23cm loose-bottomed tin with baking paper.
2. Place biscuit in a plastic food bag and crush to fine crumbs using a rolling pin.
3. Mix crumbs with melted butter until completely coated.
4. Transfer them into tin and press firmly and evenly using spoon.
5. Chill in the fridge to set firmly.
For filling
1. Mix gelatin with hot water, stir until gelatin dissolves thoroughly, set aside.
2. Use electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

ReplyDeleteWhich brand of gelatin powder you used, may I ask?
ReplyDeleteBee Lan: the brand I used can normally be purchased at supermarket. Please note, it is not the type use for making 'agar-agar'.
