Cheesecake Without Cheese (Cheat Version)

I am a big fan of cheesecakes. I have tried different versions, until I came across this cheat recipe, through one of my friends. I must tell you I have never gone back to the original recipe ever since. This is so easy, and you can whip this up in just 5 mins. So if you are here for the original recipe, sorry this post is not for you.😁


Ingredients:

Yogurt - 400gms
Sweet Condensed Milk - 400gms
Biscuits - 1-2 packets
Butter - 1-2 tbs
Topping- 1/2 cup (Optional)


Directions:

  • Crumble the biscuits in a food processor or by hand and transfer to a bowl.
  • Melt the butter and pour on the biscuit crumbs and mix till texture is like wet sand
  • In another bowl, pour the yogurt and condensed milk and mix together.
  • Take a microwave-safe dish, pour the biscuit mix and layer evenly with a spoon or underside of a glass.
  • Carefully pour the yogurt mix over the biscuit base.
  • Microwave it for 2-5 mins, till it sets.
  • Refrigerate for 2-3 hrs and serve.
Tips:
  • You can increase or decrease the quantity, but the proportion of yogurt and condensed milk should be equal.
  • Any biscuit can be used, but I prefer digestive biscuits, especially the digestive oatmeal biscuit.
  • The heat setting on all microwaves are different, so keep checking till the top layer is set, we don't want to overdo it.
  • Having the cheesecake without topping itself is delicious, but you can add any blueberry, strawberry filling, flavored syrups, juice crush. Here I didn't have any of these toppings, so I took some strawberry jam which I had on hand, mix 1 tbs of water, microwaved it for 1 min to form a syrup consistency, and poured it over the cheesecake.

Meat Lasagna

During my school days, I had once stumbled upon this cuisine, in a restaurant, and its taste lingered in my head. Years later after I got married, with the recipes out there on the internet, I decided to try making it at home. I have to admit, it felt like a brain drain at first, the lasagna sheets and the cheese were not only easily available here in India, it was expensive too. But with years of experimenting, I found out that you can make this dish with other alternatives and it tastes just the same and great too 😄👍 INGREDIENTS: Lasagne sheets/pasta For White sauce (béchamel sauce) Butter- 1 tbsp. Flour - 1 tbsp. Milk- 500ml Pepper powder - 2tsp Parsley- 1tsp Nutmeg powder - pinch Crushed Garlic - 1 clove Mozzarella/ Cheddar cheese(grated) - 200gms or 100gms of both Salt - to taste For Meat sauce Meat(minced) - 1/2 kg Onion - 1 med size (chopped) Garlic - 4 cloves (chopped) Basil (dried or fresh) - 1tsp Oregano (dried or fresh) - 1 tsp
