Weetabix Cheesecake.

Sounds urgh. Tastes mmmmm.

I do get cravings for rich, creamy, sweet stuff sometimes. And I know I can have a Kit Kat or Chomp or Curly Wurly for not too many sins, but sometimes I want more of a dessert. A gooey, rich, melt in the mouth piece of joy. So, here goes.

I have read a few quark based cheesecake recipes on Slimming Eats and Dietgrrl, as well as on the minimins website. I tweaked them about a bit and came up with this-

Lemon & Ginger Cheesecake

Doesn't look too bad, eh?

And here's how-

Ingredients

• 8 weetabix
• 2 tubs of quark
• 8 teaspoons lemon curd
• 2 eggs
• Lots of Splenda
• Teaspoon of ground ginger
• Teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• Dash of lemon juice

Method

1. Beat two eggs in a bowl. Add quark, lemon curd and mix until smooth. Add Splenda and lemon juice to taste (I like it quite sweet so I used quite a lot of Splenda)
2. Place Weetabix, Splenda and spices in a blender and blend until thoroughly mixed
3. Press Weetabix mixture into the base of a springform cake tin using a spoon
4. Add the quark mixture on top
5. Place in hot oven and leave until you can put a knife into the cake and it comes out clean
6. Allow to cool, stuff your face

If you take the Weetabix as a HEX B then you can have a quarter for 2 syns (for the lemon curd), otherwise it is 4.5 syns a slice.

I'm not going to lie, it isn't as good as a super fat filled proper cheesecake, but it's not a bad substitute really.

You could easily substitute the lemon flavour for any flavour of jam, or cocoa powder, or even fresh fruit (though I am not sure if that would mess with the consistency. Also, you could add different flavours to the Weetabix mix. Next time I make this I am envisioning a chocolate masterpiece!
