Easy Cheesecake Recipe



Ingredients



2 digestive biscuits

10gr soft butter

1tsp golden or maple syrup

juice and zest of  ¼ lemon



100gr mascarpone cheese or cream cheese

1tbsp icing sugar

fresh fruit or a fruit coulis of your choice.



Crush the biscuits and mix with the soft butter and syrup. Spoon the mixture into one small metal food stacking ring and press the mix on the bottom of the mould. Fold the lemon juice, zest and icing sugar into the cheese, being sure not to over mix, as this will cause the mixture to split. Spoon the  cream cheese mix into the ring and use a palette knife to press the mix well into the mould. This is important to avoid air gaps. At this stage you can leave it in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Remove the ring with a hot cloth or blowtorch. Place the cheesecake on a serving plate and decorate with fresh berries, fruit or pour a fruit coulis over the top.

See, I told you it will be easy!
