Deconstructed Strawberry Cheesecake



This is my take on a traditional cheesecake. It was just too much effort so I whipped together this quick, no-bake, low fat version of the popular dessert. Enjoy this classic without the guilt.


100g biscuits ( I use low-fat digestive biscuits)
200g cream cheese (use the low fat version if possible)
200g yogurt (use the low fat version if possible)
4tbsp caster sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
2tbsp strawberry jam
100g strawberries, sliced


Put the biscuits in a plastic bag an using a rolling pin, bash them into chunky crumbs. In a bowl, beat the cheese, yogurt, sugar and vanilla till smooth. 


Use glasses or small bowls to serve. Divide the biscuit mixture into the glasses and then spoon over the cheese mix. Chill till you are ready to serve.


Stir the jam till loose and then add the strawberries. Top the cheesecake with this strawberry mix and serve.


Tip: Use whatever fruit you have at home, as toppings. For a delicious Banoffee version slice bananas and top with a spoonful of caramel sauce. Or crush raspberries and serve with peach for a Melba-style.
