This is a yummy and light dessert made by my cousin Sulo, who allowed me to share her recipe, for special occasions or when you're feeling a little something sweet.
Ingredients:
250g ginger nut biscuits 100g butter, melted 3 teaspoons powdered gelatine 2 tablespoons water 500g cream cheese, softened 1 cup (220g) caster sugar zest and juice of 2 lemons 250ml (1 cup) cream, whipped fresh berries, to serve
Method:
Process biscuits until very fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and process again until butter is thoroughly mixed into the biscuits.
Line base of 23cm springform tin with baking paper and lightly grease sides with spray oil.
Press biscuit mixture into base and sides of prepared tin to come about 5cm up sides of tin. Refrigerate until required.
Combine gelatine and water in small bowl; stand 5 minutes. Microwave on high 20 seconds or until gelatine melts.
Using an electric mixer beat cream cheese, sugar and zest until very smooth. Beat in lemon juice and gelatine mixture. Fold in whipped cream. Pour mixture into prepared biscuit base and refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours or until required.
Serve with fresh berries as desired.
