Amy's Uncooked Easy Peasy Cheesecake

This is my fall back dessert. My Mum brought the recipe back from Canada when she and Dad lived there before I was born. I don't make this very often as it is quite rich, but, oh so yummy. I also usually make 2 as it freezes so well without the topping. And then I put a seasonal fruit topping of my choice when it has defrosted. Sometimes I use digestive biscuits for the base, and sometimes chocolate chip or even ginger biscuits. You can ring the changes, it's all good.

SERVES 8 , 1 cake (change servings and units)

  1. 1
    Crush biscuits and add melted butter.

  3. 3
    Put into the fridge to set whilst you make the cake.
  4. 4
    Place cream cheese into a bowl and beat for a minute or two to soften and smooth it. Add the whole can of condensed milk and beat it.
  5. 5
    Then add the lemon juice and beat that inches You will notice that it is beginning to thicken at this point. Have a little taste to see that it is lemony enough.
  6. 6
    Pour the rest over the base and leave to set.
  7. 7
    For the topping.

    Either put fresh fruit straight on the top or.

    Add the cornflour to the remaining juices to thicken slightly and then use to glaze your fruit giving a nice shine.

I tried making this cheesecake, and boy is it rich! I tasted the mix before cooling and it tasted glorious - like lemon buttermilk, but it just didn't set for some reason. I had to use many teaspoons of cornflour and thickening granules to make it thick enough to eat. Any ideas on what went wrong?
