Frozen Israeli Triangle Cheesecake

This is one of my favourite desserts. It's old fashioned but completely delicious! And so easy to make (that is a big plus for me!). It serves about 8 people if no one has seconds.

125ml soft butter
65ml castor sugar
65ml icing sugar
1 egg yolk
5ml vanilla essence
1 carton smooth cream cottage cheese
2 packets tennis biscuits
cherries
250ml fresh cream
2 flakes
tinfoil

• Mix butter with castor sugar and icing sugar in a bowl, beat well with a wooden spoon

• Add egg yolk and beat well with a wooden spoon

• Beat in 5ml vanilla essence

• Add whole carton of cottage cheese and mix well

• Cut a big piece of tin foil and place on chopping board

• Put 12 biscuits in three rows down, 4 in each row – biscuits must be touching

• Spread half the mixture over the biscuits

• Place another 12 biscuits on top of the mixture in the same pattern as before

• Spread the other half of the mixture covering all the biscuits

• Put a flake down the middle of the biscuits

• Pull sides of the tinfoil up so biscuits form a triangle shape

• Wrap cheesecake in foil and put in freezer for 2 hours until hard and frozen

• Take out and remove foil – place on serving platter

• Whip cream and spread over whole cheesecake to cover biscuits

• Decorate with flake and cherries (or strawberries)

Enjoy!
