Recipe - Lemon Cheese Cake

Hey everyone, here's another recipe to try out. And guys, if you think baking is sissy, well, talk to Waltson, he'll put you straight, hahaha.. and, in my house, my brother is the expert in making this cake, really! (He's certainly more passionate about it than I am) And it's yummy too!

A tip; feel free to cut or add more sugar to your liking and taste ya? I always believe recipes should be tweaked and changed to suit your own taste. Cooking isn't rigid lah, but that's just me.

Ingredients
200 gm Marie biscuit
8 oz Butter
1 Lemon
1 cup Hot water
1 packet Lemon or Lime flavoured Jelly (Large packet)
1 tin Evaporated milk
¼ cup Sugar
1 packet Philadelphia cream cheese

Method
1. Crush the biscuit in a blender, or use pestle and mortar. Sieve the crumbs.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter then add the biscuit crumbs in, mix well.
3. Put the biscuit mixture into pan, press down firmly.
4. In a mixing bowl, put in the cream cheese. With a mixer, beat the cheese till it’s creamy, slowly add the milk, mix well.
5. Add the sugar to the cheese mixture and mix well.
6. Grate the lemon rind, set aside.
7. Squeeze the juice from the lemon. Add the lemon rind.
8. Add the jelly to the hot water and stir to dissolve completely. Add the lemon juice. Pour the jelly into the cheese mixture. Mix well.
9. Pour no. (8) mixture over biscuit base and chill in fridge until firm.

Try not to pig out on this by yourself k? At least call me to taste some lah!
