Howlin Dawg's Breezecake (Easy peasy)

in #recipes8 years ago

It's a cheesecake but it's a breeze to make! Super easy, tasty, no cooking required. Whilst it might seem plain and simple don't be fooled by its unassuming exterior. This is a light, creamy and fluffy cheesecake that will have you smacking your lips and saying ahhhhhh!

I might also add that it has been known to spontaneously regenerate lost hair (not really)

So why would a self confessed chilli-holic like me make something as non spicy as a cheesecake? Well you can't put chillis in everything and sometimes after a fiery hot dish you need something cool and refreshing.

So, bring on the antidote to all things spicy, the creamy vanilla'y easy to make cheesecake...

The Breezecake!

You will need

130 grams crumbled digestive biscuits (Are these Graham Crackers in the USA? Who was Graham?)
80 grams soft butter
300 grams cream cheese
80 grams icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, it doesnt hurt if an extra dribble falls in :o)
½ teaspoon lemon juice, again it doesnt hurt if slightly more falls in.
250 millilitres double cream

As stated above I tend to be over generous with the vanilla essence and lemon juice, sometimes even with the icing sugar so dont fret if its not
exact.

You will also need one of these, a removable bottom, cake tin. Mine is just under 8 inches wide as you can see.

The making

Whizz up the biscuits in food blender until they are naught but crumbs. If you don't have a blender you can put them in a bag and bash em with a rolling pin.

whizz whizz until like this

Now add your soft (but not melted) butter and whizz again till it clumps up in lumps

adding the butter

whizz whizz until clumpy

Spoon the clumpy biscuit/cracker mix into the pan

Press with the back of your hand till its nice and flat and even.

Now add the cream cheese into the icing sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract

Stir till lovely and smooth, (its quite quick)

Important: Grab a whisk and take a selfie of yourself posing manfully

Now put your double cream in a bowl and whisk till visibly thicker

Add this to your cream cheese mixture

Fold it in gently and lovingly with a spatula or big spoon till its smooth and even

We are almost there, hold onto your hats!!

Wallop the mix onto your biscuit base

Smooth it with a spatula and I also like to wipe the edges of the cake tin thing

Re-arrange your beer to make space in the fridge for your masterpiece
And leave it overnight.

Now lick that big tasty mix off the spatula!!

Remove from the fridge and place the cake tin thing on a tin of beans or similar and push down on the sides so the cake pops out..

Tada!!

Now slice and ENJOY!!!!!
