It's time for some yummyylicious 'Cheesecake' (see quick recipe in pics)

The cheesecake is a decadent, deliciously smooth and creamy dessert often laced with colorful fruits such as strawberries, blueberries , mangoes, kiwis or a medley of fruits.In my opinion, cheesecake is the most elegant way



Method:
To make Greek yoghurt, lay a piece of cheesecloth or muslin in a bowl.
Add yoghurt and let it drain by keeping it in a large sieve. Drain the yoghurt for about 1 1/2 hours.

For the crust: Crush the digestive biscuits and add melted butter and brown sugar.

Put the mixture in a nine-inch Springform pan and blend it well with your fingers. Press it on all sides of the pan to form the crust base. Now keep it in a preheated oven (180° C) for 10 minutes.

Once it is brown, take it out from the oven and keep it in the fridge to cool.

Filling:
To make the filling, combine the strained yoghurt, eggs, sugar, almond essence and blend with a beater or food processor. Add cornstarch, lemon juice and a pinch of salt before blending the mixture again.

Now pour the mixture into the prepared crust and bake at 180° C for 35-40 minutes. Check the cake for firmness. It is done when it's firm on the edges and still a bit shaky in the centre.

Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the fridge for at least five hours, preferably overnight. Once it's completely cooled, release the Springform and take the cake out in a serving dish.

Decorate it with sliced fresh mangoes before serving.
