Since cori's in Hawaii, I think it would be green Spam and eggs. :beaten: [/list:u]

Ahaha.. you guys are funny!

Here's the recipe as requested. Please note that this is a low-fat version. If you want it more sinful, omit the yoghurt and increase the cream cheese to 250g.

Strawberries Cheesecake
Ingredients
Base :
120g Digestive Biscuits, crushed finely
40g Softened butter

Filling :
8 to 10 Strawberries (depending on size), sliced into half
100g Cream Cheese, bring to room temperature
100g Yoghurt (Paul's set yoghurt)
70g Fine Sugar*

1 Tbsp + 1/2 Tsp Gelatin
3 Tbsp Boiling Water
*make sure the gelatin is melted and kept warm

200g Strawberry Puree**
200ml Non Dairy Whip Cream, whipped to mousse state and chilled (can use dairy whip cream)

Topping : (Optional)
Some strawberry slices
1 Packet of Tortally Jelly (Strawberry flavour), use as per instruction but you won't be using all

Method
1) Prepare a 7 inch loose base round tin. Mix the crushed biscuits and butter in a bowl. Transfer to the cake tin, using a small spoon to press the base evenly. Chill in the fridge for later use.

2) Arrange the halved strawberries against the tin. In a mixing bowl, using a electric whisk, whisk cream cheese, yoghurt and sugar till mixture is creamy and no lumps. Pour in the gelatin mixture, using a hand whisk to incorporate well. Add in strawberry puree and whipped cream, stir well.

3) Pour into the prepared cake tin, using a spatula to level the surface. Set the cake before decorating with strawberry slices and jelly. Leave to chill for at least 3 hours. Remove from tin.

*Note : As the strawberries were rather tart, I adjusted the amount of sugar accordingly.

**Note : To make strawberry puree, simply take 320g of fresh strawberries, blend well and sieve.

I definitely need to make it more sinful. :mrgreen:

And thank you for the recipe!! :D It looks a lot easier than I thought it would be. Only thing is, I'm not sure what Tortally Jelly (Strawberry flavour) is. And I don't have Digestive Biscuits here either, which is a shame because those things are delish! I guess I'll have to go with graham crackers or some other type of cookie for the crust. :(

Oh, i've had that one, it's the St Patrick's Day special edition Spam. :woot:

Strawberry jam/jelly, I'd guess.

Are there Indigestive Biscuits? :sweat: :beaten:

How funny, i actually have a few rolls of Digestives at work, they go great w/ milk tea or coffe heavy on cream.

Hi, yes you can use graham crackers instead or even oreo cookies (minus the cream, ermm.. you can lick it off if preferred :sweat: )

As for the jelly, it's just a brand name for Jello here in Singapore. You can just use any brand of Jello available.

Funny, I was going to suggest Oreos :bonk:

Hey, don't make fun of the Digestives. The chocolate covered ones are one of the best cookies that I've ever eaten. :drooling:

Cool, so I'll lick the cream off the Oreos and use just the cookie. I'm sure other people will love to know how I got the cream off. :mrgreen: :hehe:

But I'd probably use some graham crackers or non-chocolate cookie because I think that the chocolate might overpower the the taste of the strawberries. I really wish I could find Digestives here though. :(

Bizarre name.

Never heard of 'em 'til now. :sweat:


Ah, "chocolate covered ones...."

For you, that's the key: you'd eat a shoe if it were covered with chocolate. :beaten:

Accoding to Wikipedia, the name "digestive" derived from the belief that they had antacid properties due to the use of bicarbonate of soda when they were first developed. I think they're delish, so I don't really care about the odd name. :D

And I thought the cookie itself was pretty good, the chocolate was just the icing on the cake...er, cookie. :mrgreen: And hell no to the chocolate-covered shoe! I'm trying to cut back on sweets. :mrgreen:
