Custard Cream Cheesecake

Yields9 ServingsPrep Time1 hr

Custard Cream biscuits are a store cupboard staple in most homes as the creamy custard filling makes them a firm favourite for every generation. As such, I decided to try them in a cheesecake recipe and it was a success! This recipe is super easy to do as its a no bake cheesecake,which is my favourite as there's not much room for error. The biggest problem you'll have is waiting for it to set.
I always let my cheesecake set in the fridge overnight, otherwise they risk being a little soft still – you’re more likely to get a better result the longer you leave it!
I used biscuits straight from the pkt- the purists would separate them and scrape out the filling-but who has time for that? Save your time and energy for eating them later. I've used a square dish in keeping with the classic biscuit shape and just kept the decoration simple,adding a biscuit on top and a sprinkle of crumb but you could line the sides of your tin with biscuits too if you wish. The choice of decoration is yours. This would be a great recipe for the children to do as its so easy. Why not give this a try and let us know how you got on in the comments below.
