Cheesecake from a shop or restaurant is beyond many budgets. Writing in Channel i Online, Farzia Hossain explains that it can be made at home without much expense, and without even baking it.
The ingredients are simple: some biscuits, butter, cream cheese, sugar, whipping cream and vanilla essence. To save money, smooth homemade chhana (fresh cheese curd) can be used instead of cream cheese.
Start with the base. Crush the biscuits, mix them with melted butter and press the mixture firmly into a dish. Chill it for a while so that the base sets hard.
In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, icing sugar, whipping cream and a little vanilla essence until smooth and creamy. Pour it over the biscuit base, level it and chill for a few hours. That is all it takes to make a no-bake cheesecake.
Before serving, top it with chocolate sauce, strawberry jam or seasonal fruit. Mango, strawberry or blueberry toppings change the flavour to suit any taste.
It is a sweet the whole family can make together for a birthday, a family gathering or a holiday afternoon.
