Green bean curry- large dish

Cheesecake 11

CRUST
couldn't find graham cracker crumbs or even cookies 

Found a package of Marie biscuit also say Oreo cookies which would have also worked and we'd get to lick the insides.



Marie package had 21 cookies -7 packages of 3

We crushed cookies with a can but a rolling pin would also work- had to be careful of not bursting the cello package.



When crushed the cookies came to about 1.5 cups

Put in mixing bowl - crush any larger pieces

Add 1/4 cup sugar to cookie crumbs and stir together



Melt 1/3 of 200 gram package of butter in microwave or on stove

Stir melted butter into crumb mix


A
Spread crust into baking dish, pie pan or other container

spread about  1/4 inch deep

Now put crusts in fridge to set crust- as the butter hardens- the crust sets

With graham cracker crust- normally bake for 8 minutes at 350 F or 175 C



CHEESE FILLING
Put one package of cream cheese into bowl

Add condensed milk

For 200 gram cream cheese we used 300 ml condensed milk - 2.5 tubes approximately of 120 gram tubes



(Filling seemed a bit soft. checked Canadian sizes and the cream cheese is normally 250 grams) 

The cream cheese and condensed milk should be mixed together in a bowl. A Mixer works best. 

Add 4 tablespoons (15ml x 4) concentrated lemon juice from a bottle. Lemon juice from a lemon is not strong enough to cause the filling to set. 



Take crusts from fridge add filling to crusts.

Spread evenly, about 1/2 inch deep.



FRUIT TOPPING 

didn't find any pie filling- so decided to use mandarin oranges instead

Mandarin oranges- opened 2 cans

Put fruit and juice into a pan and heat on stove

Add corn starch or potato starch to thicken fruit into filling



When topping has thickened, place in fridge to cool.


Serving- Some people will put the fruit topping on and serve the dessert. Some will cut the dessert into pieces and serve on a plate and then add the fruit topping- This ways is best if you have more than one choice of topping.



Add Whipped cream as desired,

Enjoy

CHEESE FILLING

Cheesecake In Japan
Notes
This is an cheesecake that is not cooked- we make it often for birthdays and special occasions
easy to make.
The crust is most often graham cracker crumb crust- at times we have just used premade graham cracker crumb pie crusts- which is less work than making the crust. 
Fruit toppings can be varied- Started out we used E.D.Smith pie fillings- cherry, raspberry, blueberry-
Lately we have been using a mix of frozen berries and fresh fruit- which is less sugar and tastes great

Will put directions here then put photos down below
