Joan's cheesecake

This is possibly my newest recipe. Uncooked cheesecake. Joan, who I know from Alpha and its follow-on, produces this wonderful dessert at every social occasion.  I'm not sure I have the recipe exactly right, but it's good enough:


Uncooked ginger cheesecake

Stir 75g butter or hard margarine into 250g crushed ginger biscuits. Press into an 8" tin with removable sides, or onto a plate within a circle of waxed card, which works just as well. Possibly better.

Beat 400g room temperature cream cheese with the zest and juice of a lemon. Stir in 250ml whipped cream until completely mixed. Pour onto biscuit base and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  Drizzle with a little chocolate melted with a teaspoon of butter.
