Well it is cheesecake Friday !. This is becoming quite a habit and I am slowly becoming friends with the devil (gelatin) haha. Normally I would use Philly cream cheese but I had to watch my budget this week. and I am not sure I could actually wait 2 weeks for another cheesecake hit. I decided to risk it and got the "Coles cream cheese" it was a few bucks difference. It might be small change to some of you but times are tough, anyhow comparing the two, well of course nothing beats Philly but I have no complaints the Coles one was a tad softer and had a blander taste to it but overall I would use it again for sure. and my cheesecake tin is quite big so by the time I slice it and freeze it I have enough to last me two weeks that does me and a friend and we don't eat it every night either.
After adjusting some basic recipes while on my cheesecake adventure I think this one is pretty close to nailing it. So I hope you enjoy this lush homemade treat as much as me !
80g butter, melted
3 teaspoons powdered gelatin
1 1/2 tablespoons boiling water
500g cream cheese, softened
3 heaped tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk
2 cap fulls of vanilla essence
300ml thickened cream, whipped
1/2 cup of mashed Malteasers
Malteasers and Flake to decorate
4. Sprinkle gelatin over boiling water in a heatproof jug. Whisk with a fork until gelatin has dissolved and it has cooled a little

Cheesecake can be sliced into individual slices and wrapped in cling wrap then frozen. But if your house is like mine it won't last long at all..
