Cheat Raspberry Cheesecake

Also known as 'Barbie Slice'
Servings: 16 slices

Equipment

  • 25cm x 25cm square tin
  • kitchen whizz (food processor)
  • nutribullet
  • Scales

Ingredients

Base

  • 1 packet malt biscuits (250 grams)
  • ½ can condensed milk (198 grams)
  • 125 grams butter

Cheesecake topping

  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 box raspberry jelly crystals (85 grams)
  • 125 grams cream cheese
  • ½ cup raspberries (frozen will work too) (optional)

Instructions

Base

  • Melt the butter and condensed milk together over a low heat, stirring occasionally to avoid the mixture burning .
  • Blitz the malt biscuits into a fine biscuit crumb using a kitchen whizz (or alternatively place in a pillow slip and beat with a rolling pin).
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the biscuit crumbs and combine.
  • Spread evenly over the base of your lined pan and press down with a clean hand until you have a form base. Use the back of a wet spoon to smooth the base until it is level.
  • Place in the refrigerator to set.

Cheesecake topping

  • Combine the cup of boiling water and jelly crystals. Stir until all crystals have dissolved and place in the fridge to cool. Be careful not to set.
  • Once the jelly liquid is cool place in a nutrubullet or kitchen whizz along with the cream cheese and whizz until smooth.
  • Pour over the biscuit base. Arrange your raspberries on top, and place in the fridge to set.
  • Use a clean warm knife to cut.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
  • (this recipe is easily doubled - which is helpful to use up the whole can of condensed milk and whole packet of cream cheese. Use a 22cm x 33cm - 9" x 13" tin instead).
