That Banoffi sounds delicious - is there anyway of doing it without the 3 hour boil? I can guarantee I'll forget about it and leave it to boil dry and the first I'll know about is when the smoke alarm sets off!! I'm assuming you can't open it and microwave? It may be worth the 3 hrs risk because Banoffi is yum

You could set your alarm clock for 3 hours. Definitely sounds like this would be worth it!

Here's a recipe for cheesecake cupcakes that look easy enough. I haven't tried these myself, but have tried other recipes from this site and they have been very good.

Becles

The easiest recipe is:

200g digestives crushed
3 oz melted margarine

Mix together and press into 8" lined cake tin. Chill until it's hard.

Mix together 500g marscapone cheese, 2oz icing sugar and the juice and zest of 3 limes. Add to the base and put in the fridge to chill.

Just before serving, remove from the tin and tip a tin of blackcurrent pie filling over the top.

It looks good and tastes fab. I've had loads of compliments about it.

When I do Bannoffee Pie I always boil mine for about 2.5 - 3 hrs. I also make sure I turn the tins over in the saucepan half way through and keep the water topped up over the top of the tins (so use a nice big saucepan, it makes it easier).

I don't know of any shortcuts for this but I can tell you that it makes a fantastic tasting Bannoffee and I really only do it on special occasions. I would eat too much of it otherwise as it's totally gorgeous - yum yum

Same base with digestive biscuits - take mascarpone cheese, lemon curd, whipping/double cream - blend cheese and lemon curd - beat up cream and fold in then place in base - very quick to do and lovely. Dont add too much lemon curd - taste it to see what you like best as you add it! Can always add more later.

My OH makes the easiest 'cheesecake' ever. I say 'cheesecake' but there aint no cheese in it...... I love it though and there's virtually no work in it

What you do is make a plain digestive base, with a bit of lemon juice in with the biscuit to bind it. Pack it into a plastic tub or glass dish and really squash it down. Then you make up a couple of packets of angel delight and pour it on top. Leave it to set in the fridge and there you go.

Lemon juice instead of butter makes the biscuit a bit crumbly but he says that butter would make the angel delight taste funny.
