#2 : Oreo Cheesecake

It is the first cake I have ever made and it is the easiest cake. EVER! No baking required. But I am going to put it in the Baking category anyway. Basically I just put all the ingredients together and put it in the fridge. This cheesecake requires the springform pan because it cannot be turned over. Springform pan is a round pan which has a buckle and when you loosen it up, the base comes off separately.

Thanks to Happy Home Baking who provided the recipe :

Ingredients

110g digestive biscuits (*)
40g melted butter

Method:
1. mix biscuit crumbs & melted butter together and press firmly onto the base of cake tin. chill for 30 minutes.
2. beat whipping cream with electric beaters until 70% stiff or until mousse-like. it took 2-3 minutes on low speed.
3. double-boil gelatine, lemon juice & boiling water until totally dissolved. keep warm. (to double-boil, heat a pot filled with water and place another bowl inside the pot & gelatine, lemon juice & boiling water into the bowl).
4. beat cream cheese, icing sugar, milk and vanilla essence until smooth & creamy. blend in gelatine solution.
5. blend in whipping cream.
6. pour 1/2 the cheese mixture onto the base. chill for another 15 minutes.
7. stir in finely chopped cookies into the other 1/2 of the mixture. mix well.
8. sprinkle coarsely chopped cookies on top of the first half of cheese mixture.
