Equipment:
Non-Stick Baking Dish (I use a metal Victoria sandwich tin)
Electric Whisk/Hand Mixer (to beat the eggs, this can be done manually also)
Large Mixing Bowl
Tablespoon/teaspoon
Laying the Foundation – The Base
1. Take your non stick baking dish spray it with Fry Light or Pam. Next, take four digestive biscuits and break them up (over the dish) into small pieces using your hands.
2. Use the bottom of a tablespoon to crush the biscuits into very small pieces, the bottom of the baking dish should be covered by a thin layer of biscuits.
Making the Middle – The Cheesecake
1. Take your mixing bowl and add the following ingredients:
- 15g Splenda (1/2 cup)
- 450g Fat Free Cream Cheese
- 75ml Skimmed Milk (1/4 cup)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Using your mixer (or a fork if you don’t have one) mix the ingredients for around 1 minute (longer by hand) until the batter is smooth.
2. Now add the eggs, separating the yolk and throwing it away for one egg and adding the second egg whole. Mix again until the batter is a creamy consistency.
Bringing it all together
1. Pour the batter into the baking dish
2. Bake in the oven at 325F (175c) for 30-40 minutes
3. Take it out of the oven and leave it to cool
4. Once cool, place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours
The Final Touches – The Topping
1. Get your topping ingredients ready and your cheesecake out of the refrigerator
2. Chop the raspberries and blueberries in half
3. Take your sugar free jam and spread it across the cheesecake using the back of a spoon
4. Add the chopped berries to the top
And Enjoy!
