No Bake Yogurt Cheesecake

I love cheesecakes...in fact I love most things that have cheese.
Here's a really easy recipe to make one at home.

For the base you'll need...
1 large packet of biscuit (I use Digestive or Parle G)
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)

Put the biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin, or ground them into a processor. Mix in the butter evenly and spoon it in a pan, pressing it so that the base is even. Keep in freezer to set till you make the filling.

Strain 1 cup yogurt so that all the whey drains out, and you are left with thick yogurt.

For the filling, mix
  • 1 small sachet of gelatin (I used Orange flavoured) dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water and set aside.
  • 200gms cream cheese at room temperature with 1/2 cup sugar. Blend till smooth.
 Add the yogurt to the cream and mix well. Finally add the gelatin and mix well to remove lumps. Pour this onto the crust and put it in the fridge for 3-4 hours to set.

Top it with fresh fruits, preserves, chocolate sauce, or just enjoy it as it is!
