Strawberry Swirled Cheesecake

CRUST:
250g butternut biscuits (I replaced with 80g cornflakes)
90g butter, melted

1. Blend biscuits together then add in melted butter & press onto a 20cm round pan compactly.

FILLING:
500g cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cups cream, whipped
1/3 cup water
2 tbsp gelatine

SWIRL
250g fresh strawberries
50g sugar
I just used canned strawberry filling

1. Beat cream cheese until well mixed then add sugar & lemon juice. Beat till smooth.
2. Add in whipped cream
3. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatine over the 1/4 cup of water & microwave for 25 seconds or until dissolved.
5. Add half of the gelatine to the cream cheese mixture and blend well.
6. Pour into prepared pan.

SWIRL
1. Combine (add 1/3 cup of water if using canned strawberries) and add the remaining gelatine.
2. Randomly add the strawberry mixture in different parts all over the cake and swirl with a skewer (satay stick).

Refridgerate 4 hours or overnight.

(The trick is to save some of the cream cheese and swirl it in last as the overload of strawberries may make it a fully STRAWBERRY cake instead of a Strawberry-Swirled cake.)

Made this for a fun house warming/blessing party yesterday which coincided with our beautiful hostess’ birthday. Happy Birthday Aunty Patsy!

My cousin got married over the weekend at a beautiful beach wedding in PD.

It was one of the funnest weddings I’ve been to and it was a great weekend! It was a very cool wedding and it’s so much fun meeting all these old friends, new friends and having time to swim and spend time with our extended family. God is sooo goooood!!!!

Here are some pictures of the mini dessert table and wedding cake we did!

Congratulations John & Jeanette Puckett!
