Umm i have to go run downstairs for the tin......

........ok it was more of a hobble after saturday nights alcohol induced injuries.

From the side of a Nestle Condensed Milk tin the nicest and easiest cheescake recipie i have ever done.

Apparently serves 6-8 i beg to differ, it serves me

3oz butter
8oz digestives crushed
30mml double cream
juice and rind of 4 lemons
1 (397g) can of condensed milk

Melt the butter and stir in the crushed busciuts, press into the base and sides (i never do the sides) of a 8" loose bottomed tin. Chill
Whisk the remaining ingredients together until thick and creamy, pour over the biscuit base
Chill (it then says decorate but i just eat it!)

rchddap1, you can have the mandarine one I suggested, you can use any fruit at all, there's no cheese, just jelly fruit and evaporated milk!!!

Chocolate Cheesecake

Base - Crush packet chocolate digestives and stir in approx 75g melted butter. Press into tin
Topping - large carton double cream, 400g philadelphia (or similar but not the low fat one as it wont thicken). 75g castor sugar and 75-100g milk chocolate.

Cream philadelphia with sugar, Whip cream and fold in. Melt chocolate and fold in. Pour over base and put in fridge. Decorate with melted chocolate or grated chocolate.

A Dieters paradise!!

For bailey's cheesecake I add the Baileys to taste (approx 45ml) and leave out the melted chocolate and I just use plain digestive biscuits.

AFAIK cream cheese ie philly is fine in pregnancy !

Was hard enough convincing OH that basic cheese is fine....never mind stuff like philly. Simplest now to just steer clear and I can do a few 'test runs' for xmas :j
