No Bake Cheesecake

Yes it is an oldie but it is so easy and fast to make I cannot resist making it. I must admit I don't make it too often as I would just eat it until I burst. In just 20 minutes you can have this made. It will be a big hit when you want to take something to a BBQ or a friends place.

I make this in a lamington pan. When set I cut it into squares and freeze it in portions. But of course you can make it in the traditional spring form pan if you choose.

Ingredients:
1 pkt of your favorite sweet plain biscuits
1 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg
100g melted butter
1 250g packet cream cheese
1 400g can sweetened condensed milk 
1/3 lemon juice
1 tsp gelatine
1 tbsp hot water

Topping (if you choose):
Fresh or frozen berries
Whipped fresh cream

Method:

1. Line a lamington pan or a spring form pan
2. Crumb the biscuits using a rolling pin or a hand (stick) processor
3. In a bowl add the crumbed biscuits, cinnamon and butter. Mix until combined
4. Press the mixed base into your pan and pop into the fridge
5. In a mixer beat the cream cheese until smooth
6. Gradually add the condensed milk and beat until smooth and a little light
7. Add the gelatine to hot water
8. Add the lemon juice and gelatine and beat again until smooth
9. Pour the mixture into your pan and chill until firm
10. If using the topping just add before serving

Tip: 
If freezing in portions cut and pop into the freezer before lifting out of the pan. Then wrap each frozen portion in cling wrap then seal in a zip lock bag. It only needs to be in the freezer overnight for you to do this.

Whenever you have unexpected guests just take out what you need. So easy.
