Frozen Cheesecake




We inherited a whole bunch of Fowler's Vacola canning jars when we bought our house. We've got a few different sizes and I've loved using them for vases, candles, hot and cold drinks, yoghurt and, last night, individual frozen cheesecakes. I was told that they were seriously good, so here's the recipe, atrociously adapted from here.

Mango and Lime Frozen Cheesecake
1. Whizz up as many biscuits as you think you'll need of whatever kind you have in the pantry or leftover in your child's snack container (I used Scotch finger and arrowroot). Add a bit of water til it kind of sticks together then push into the base of whatever container/s you're using.


2. Beat 2 x 250g room temperature cream cheese til smooth. Mix in 3/4 cup caster sugar and the zest of one lime. Add 300-400 ml of thickened cream and beat til smooth. Pour ontop of biscuit base.


3. Whizz up the mangoes from a 425g can of mangoes. Pour ontop of cream cheese mixture then swirl in with a knife.


4. Freeze 4 hours or overnight. Thaw for 15-30 mins then pour passion fruit pulp over to serve.

A few people went back for thirds last night. I believe it may be a winner!
