No-bake Cheesecake

So, my favorite American dessert ever!!! I love the richness, sweetness yet sourness of cheesecake. It is like melting in my mouth, and aww, just AWESOME!!
There are two version of cheesecake: New York style, which needs to bake and I am a bad baker. The other is no-bake one. The difference between these two is one uses eggs to stabilize; the other use gelatin instead.


So here is my recipe:
1 tablespoon Laughing Cow cheese
1 Philadelphia cream cheese
1 plain or lemon yogurt ( don't buy Yoplait - it just doesn't work)
1 tablespoon butter
Biscuits ( as many as you wish)
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon milk
Gelatin - MUST ( no substitution)
Wax paper
Pot/ Pan - whatever container you have in hand

Crust:

Crumb the biscuits




Add butter and mix well






Cut the wax paper to fit in the bottom of the pot

Press the mixture of biscuits and butter into the pot

Put the pot in the fridge

Fill:

Mix cream cheese, cheese, and sugar in a blender


Add yogurt and mix all again

Dissolve gelatin in water.

Boil milk at medium heat and add dissolved gelatin



Let the liquid chill a little then fold it into the bowl of cream cheese and yogurt


Pour all the mixture into the prepared pot

Let chill for 4 hours or over night

Serve with cranberry jam. Tada~


My recipe seems redundant since I try to make it more "healthy" than the other recipe by use a mix of cream cheese and cheese, and milk ( I used 2% fat milk). A note for those who want to try out this recipe, you can't substitute gelatine by agar agar. The cake tastes fresh because of the yogurt, still it is rich and melted in my mouth. Just love it <3
