Georgie Porgie Pudding and PIE (Featuring Author @thegoldencookie)

Hey Foodies!

Here is a sweet, creamy and heavenly on the pallet recipe just for you. One taste is never enough.

Today I thought I would share the wonders of my favorite cheesecake or rather Cottage cheese tart (it's a no bake cheesecake). I made this for Daniel for his birthday (like me he is not a cake person).

He decided he wanted an apricot cheesecake but the choice is really up to you.

Ingredients

Crust
For a coconut crust you will need:
200g / 625ml desiccated coconut
75g / 80ml butter/ margarine (melted)

For a cookie crust you will need:
1 packet (200g) Marie or Tennis biscuits (crushed)
75g/ 80ml butter/ margarine (melted)

Filling
125 ml condensed milk
30 ml lemon juice (I prefer mine to be more sour so I put in 45 ml)
1 tub (250g) smooth cottage cheese
125ml cream, whipped

Glaze
5ml gelatine
30ml water
125 ml smooth jam (your choice)
30ml sugar

Optional
If you prefer you can decorate the cheesecake with fresh fruit such as strawberries, grapes and apricots.

Method

If you choose a coconut crust

• Toast the coconut in the oven or in a frying pan until golden brown (make sure not to burn).
• Mix the coconut with the butter/ margarine well and use to line a pie dish, pressing the mixture firmly into the dish.
• Refrigerate .

If you choose a cookie crust

• mix the butter with the crushed biscuits well
• Use to line pie dish, press mixture firmly into the dish
• Refrigerate

Filling

• Whip the cream until firm,
• Add condensed milk and cottage cheese to the cream and mix until smooth
• add the lemon juice and mix (the filling will be stiff but still runny.
• pour the filling into the pie dish and smooth out
• refrigerate for 15min

Glaze

• add the jam and stir until smooth.
• gently pour the glaze over the filling
