Cheesecake




On the event of my birthday, I decided to post my daughter Lavanya's favorite dessert - Cheesecake.

Ingredients :

  • Marie Biscuits (Powdered) - 200 Gms - About 19 biscuits
  • White Butter (Melted) - 4 Tbsp - 50 Gms
  • Paneer (Cottage Cheese) - 200 Gms
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk - 400 Gms
  • Fresh Cream - 200 Gms
  • Gelatin - 10 Gms - 3-5 Tsp
  • Water - 5 Tbsp
Method :

  1. Crush Marie biscuits. Add Butter, press it flat on a flat bottomed casserole.
  2. Soak Gelatin in 5 Tbsp Warm water in a bowl. Keep this bowl in another bowl of hot water and keep stirring till it dissolves.
  3. Crumble the Paneer and blend it in the mixer with the condensed milk. Add Gelatin and blend again. Whip the cream and fold it into the Paneer mixture.
  4. Pour this mixture into the casserole over the biscuits. Chill for 5-6 hours before serving.
Tip : Add few drops of Lemon Juice to make this a Lemon Cheesecake
