Strawberry Cheesecake


(SERVES 8)
  • 100g/4 oz semi-sweet wheat meal biscuits (cookies), crushed
  • 50 g/2 oz/ ¼ cup low-fat spread, melted
  • 225 g/8 fl oz/1 cup very low-fat crème fraiche
  • 45 ml/3 tbsp reduced-sugar strawberry jam (conserve)
  • 15 ml/1 tbsp powdered gelatine
  • 45 ml/3 tbsp water
  • Artificial sweetener granules (optional)
  • 100 g/4 oz fresh strawberries
Mix the biscuit crumbs with the low-fat spread and press into the base of a 20 cm/8 in flan tin (pie pan). Chill until firm. Meanwhile, beat the cheese with the crème fraiche and the jam. Sprinkle the gelatine over the water and leave to soften for a few minutes. Stand the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir until dissolved, or warm briefly in the microwave. Stir into the cheese mixture and sweeten to taste, if necessary. Turn into the flan disk and chill until firm. Decorate the top with the strawberries and serve.
