1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Topping:
50g Oreo cookies, crushed
Procedure:
To prepare crust:
-Crush a whole 150g packet of Oreo cookies using a food processor (or if you don't have one, there are other ingenious ways to crush cookies).
-Mix the butter and crushed cookies together to form the crust.
-Transfer and press evenly on bottom of ungreased springform pan (or any pie dish you prefer).
* we don't have a springform pan so i used this 8"x8" baking dish and pressed down the crust with a glass bottom.
Place in the freezer to harden crust while you make the filling.
To prepare filling:
-Using a mixer, whip chilled cream with 2 tablespoon sugar until stiff. Set aside.
-In a separate bowl, gradually mix remaining sugar into softened cream cheese.
-Beat until fluffy and set aside.
-In a small sauce pan, combine milk and gelatine powder.
-Heat until completely dissolved (don't boil, use a wire whisk while heating to remove lumps).
-Remove from heat, pour and beat into cream cheese mixture.
-Fold in cheese mixture to the whipped cream and beat on medium to high.
-Add lemon juice if you want some zest in your cream filling.
To assemble:
-Bring out pan from freezer and pour in the cheesecake filling.
-Spread evenly with spatula and tap pan lightly to set and release some air bubbles.
-top with crushed oreos
-Cover pan and chill for a few hours.
