Quick and Easy Cheesecake Recipe
150g plain sweet biscuits, crushed
75g butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
250g cottage cheese (light is fine - or use cream cheese for a richer cheesecake recipe)
375ml sweetened condensed milk (light is fine)
½ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Mix biscuit crumbs with melted butter.
Add brown sugar and cinnamon to biscuit crumb mixture.
Press biscuit mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 22cm/ 9in springform pan.
Refrigerate while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Beat cottage cheese (or cream cheese) with the condensed milk until there are no cottage cheese (or cream cheese) lumps left.
Add vanilla.
Add lemon juice. (You will need to work very quickly after adding the lemon juice as the acidity in the lemon begins to set the mixture.)
Pour mixture into biscuit crumb base.
Place cheesecake into refrigerator to set (approximately 4 hours).
Serves: 8.
