开心食验室 Food Laboratory: Lemon Cornflake Cheesecake

This has to be the most unclear recipe ever! Since I misplaced my recipe (*cry*) I decided to go online to see if I can get any easy non-bake lemon cheesecake recipe. I found this but it contain a few unclear amount of ingredients. Therefore, I have to try and error, and amend the recipe a little by reading the comment. Outcome? Not sure but not confident. Let's wait a little.


Non-bake Lemon Cornflake Cheesecake

For the base
200 grams digestive biscuits
100 grams butter (soft)

For the filling

250g cream cheese (a standard packet)
200ml whipping cream
200g icing sugar (sifted)
1 box of cornflakes (1 small box)
1/2 tbsp gelatin
5 tbsp water
1 lemon (juice)

Method

  1. Prepare the biscuits into crumbs. Melt the butter.
  2. Butter a tin and press the base mixture down hard into the bottom of the tin, put in the fridge to set.
  3. Soak the gelatin in hot water.  
  4. Beat the cream until it is thickened enough to nearly hold it's shape but not quite.
  5. Beat in the packet of cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Add the sifted icing sugar and lemon juice and beat again until you achieve a smooth thick consistency.
  7. Add in the gelatin slowly while mixing (or beating) the mixture.
  8. Add in crushed cornflakes into the mixture and mix well.
  9. Pour topping onto the base and spread, put the tin back into the fridge until the topping has set. Enjoy!
