Time 45m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

250g tub of virtually fat free cottage cheese (eg Langley Farm from Asda)
28g Cornflour
2 level tsp Canderel
1 sachet Hartley's lemon & lime sugar free jelly
3 lemons - peeled with pith and segment lining removed - can be a bit fiddly but worth it
2 McVities Digestive Lights biscuits (from their 'new lowest ever saturated fat' range)
4 McVities Rich Tea Lights biscuits (from their 'new lowest ever saturated fat' range)
28g Bran Flakes

Steps:

  • blend the cottage cheese until smooth and put aside. Blend the lemons until smooth and put aside.
  • To make the cheese part, mix together the cottage cheese, the Total, the cornflour, the liquifide lemon and the Canderel in a mixer or by hand.
  • dissolve the jelly in up to 150ml of just boiled water. Using less boiled water and then topping up to the 150ml will help the cheesecake cool quicker.
  • pour the jelly mixture into the cheese mixture and mix well with mixer or by hand - it can be a bit splashy!
  • For the base - grind the biscuits and bran flakes into crumbs and then line your serving dish with these. Press them down gently.
  • Spoon the mixture carefully onto the crumbs and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours. Serve with 2% Total to contract the sharpness of the lemon and add canderel to the 2% if you want a sweeter taste.
