Black Cherry Cheesecake
- Servings: 10 servings
- Cooking Time: None cooking
Ingredients:
2 x 410g cans Princes Fillings & Toppings BLACK CHERRY
100g butter, melted
150g digestive biscuits, crushed
1 x 11.5g sachet lemon and lime sugar free jelly crystals
100ml boiling water
500g extra light cream cheese
50g caster sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
150ml double cream
Cooking Instructions:
- Tip both cans of black cherry filling into a large sieve or colander placed over a bowl and leave to drain off some of the sauce.
- Mix the melted butter and biscuit crumbs together. Tip them into a 20cm (8 inch) loose-based cake tin or deep flan dish and press in an even layer over the base. Chill for at least 20 minutes.
- Put the jelly crystals into a measuring jug and add the boiling water, then leave for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until dissolved. Cool.
- Beat together the cream cheese, caster sugar and vanilla extract. In a chilled bowl, whip the cream until it holds its shape. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the cooled dissolved jelly into the cream mixture, stirring gently and thoroughly. Spoon over the biscuit base and level the surface. Chill until set – about 2-3 hours.
- Carefully remove the set cheesecake from the tin. Spoon the black cherry filling over the top in an even layer. Chill until ready to serve.
