Making Cheesecake Using Homemade Cream Cheese

Image
Having regularly made homemade cream cheese , I'm intrigued to try to make cheesecake out of it. It makes slightly different taste and texture but enough to satisfy my cheesecake craving.  Strawberry Cheesecake Roughly modified from here   For the crust: 100 grams digestive biscuit, finely crushed 50 grams butter/margarine, melted For the cheesecake: 150 grams homemade cream cheese 50 grams powdered sugar 1/2 tbsp cornflour 1 egg 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice a pinch of salt 150 grams plain yogurt (You could use sour cream. Plain yogurt is all I have in hand) For the topping: 150 grams strawberries, chopped 2 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp cornflour a squeeze of lemon Methods: Crust: combine crushed biscuit and melted butter/margarine together, then press into a 16-18 cm pie pan. Set aside. Cheesecake: whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. Pour into the pie pan, bake until set. Let cool. Chill in the refrigerator a few hours or
