A quick and easy New York cheese cake


cheese cake 9

Okay so it's not exactly a New York cheese cake, it's my super easy take on the recipe. I've changed a few things to make it that little bit more delicious and easier to make. 

Like using my favorite chocolate biscuits for the base! Here are the step by step instructions to make this scrumptious cake at home.

Ingredients listed here are to make a small 10cm cake, for a larger Cheese cake simply double the quantities.

2 x Philadelphia cream cheese. You can use 'light' but I prefer full fat for extra "yum!"

4 x dessert spoons of cream
1/2 packet of Nesfit chocolate biscuits
4 dessert spoons of margarine or butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
100 g or 150 g of scieved icing sugar depending on taste (I use 100 g)

Beat together the cream cheese, icing sugar, cream and vanilla essence. 

Once thoroughly mixed cover and store in the fridge.

Break the biscuits into a powder. 

I put the biscuits inside a clean plastic bag and use a heaven wooden rolling pin to break them up, making sure there are no big lumps left at the end. 

Once you have done this put the margarine into a pan.

Melt the margarine in a pan on the oven. 

Once melted remove from heat and add the biscuit crumbs, stir well.

Place biscuit mixture into cake tin and press down firmly using the back of the spoon. 

Once even and smooth place in a pre-heated oven and cook lightly until the biscuits are crispy, it will take roughly 10-15 minutes.

Once cooked it's important you let the base cool before adding the cream cheese, you can speed this process up by putting it in the fridge. 

Once it's properly cooled you can add the topping, using a spatula to give it professional deli look.

Return the finished cake to the fridge.
