Cheats Cheesecake

 

Technically this is more of a yoghurt tart, but it does taste very similar to cheesecake and it is super easy to make! I used a vanilla yoghurt to make mine, which made it quite sweet. If you prefer a slightly more savory cheesecake you could use Greek yoghurt instead.

Make sure your tart dish is quite deep because it makes a lot of filling.

Ingredients

• 1 packet tennis biscuits (or whichever biscuits you prefer)
• 50g butter/margerine
• 1 tin of condensed milk
• 1kg or 1L container of yoghurt of your choice
• 1 lemon (if you are doing a lemon version)

Directions

• Crush up your biscuits either in a food processor or by placing them in a plastic packet and smashing them with something hard (good chance to vent any frustrations!)
• Melt the butter in the microwave and mix it in. It shouldn't be too runny or too dry. It should stay in place if you push it against the side of the bowl.
• Grease your microwave safe tart dish. Place the biscuit base in the tart dish and use your fingers to compress it onto the sides and bottom of the dish. I always do the sides first and then the middle
• Place the base in the freezer for about 10 minutes just to set
• While the base is setting, mix together the yoghurt and condensed milk in a bowl or a jug. You can squeeze in the juice from one lemon if you want to make a lemon version of this cheesecake.
• Once the base is hard, pour in the cheesecake mixture. Don't fill the tart dish too much because it does bubble a bit!
• Place the cheesecake in the centre of the microwave and microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes (depending on the strength of your microwave)
• Take it out of the microwave and place it in the fridge for at least an hour before you eat it. Garnish the top with some lemon slices or fruit compote and enjoy!

Keep it cooking,
