Cheats Cheesecake

Cheesecake can sound like a lot of work. You’ve got the base, and the mixture, and then you potentially need to bake it, too… but not with this cheesecake! In this one, I’m using muesli, cream cheese, yoghurt and berries, so it’s basically breakfast, lol.

I made this cheesecake especially for my sister’s birthday, as she is in love with cheesecake. This is something you can easily make as an after-dinner treat with almost any pantry basics.

INGREDIENTS

• 250g health muesli
• 200g light condensed milk
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1 Tps vanilla extract
• 150g low fat cream cheese
• 150g 0% fat Greek yogurt
• 250g fresh berries (you can use jam if you don’t have any berries)
• 1 TBS Agave Syrup

METHOD

1. Divide muesli between glasses (you can use biscuits, but I find this a healthier alternative).

2. Chop berries, (I love using blueberries), mix with agave or honey to taste and allow to chill in fridge. This will create that jam-like topping.

3. In a bowl, place condensed milk and the lemon juice and vanilla extract, and mix together until the mixture has thickened.

4. In another bowl, with you Kenwood Mixer whisk cream cheese and Greek yogurt in a bowl until smooth, then fold into the thickened condensed mixture I got my mixer from my Gran I swear its about 50 years old

5. Don’t over-beat the mixture.

6. Spoon this creamy mixture into glasses over the muesli.

7. Chill for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

8. When you’re ready to serve, top with the berry mixture and garnish with a mint leaf before serving.

This is such a yummy treat. And yes, before you ask, I’m eating all the mixture out the bowl with a spoon!
