The one with the cheesecake recipe

Well here it is guys! The fabled Oreo cheesecake recipe blog!!!!

Before I let you know the recipe I'm going to let you know how my day went!

I didn't really have breakfast today apart from an banana and a yoghurt before I went into town. I wasn't really overly hungry to be honest. 

Lunch was this........



Toast with Marmite (HEB)
Beetroot.....I could seriously live off this stuff! 
Fruit

I still wasn't hungry but I felt I had to eat something to keep my metabolism up.

No Sunday is complete though without one of these



This is where the Syns come in handy!! 

Brisket of beef cooked in stock 
Peas and carrots 
Leeks with HEA cheese on (was super yum!)
Roast tatties cooked in Frylight 
Splash of gravy 1 Syn 
And you can't have a beef dinner without a yorkshire pudding!! 3 Syns

Now it comes to the good part! TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Oreo chocolate cheesecake!!!!!!!!

This is what you will need to make this.



 Ingredients

• 375g of Quark (I used low fat soft cheese which is 1 Syn 


per 25g so 13 Syns.)

• 300g of fat free cottage cheese (blended till smooth) 


• 4 eggs 


• 50g sweetner


• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (cornflour) (1.5 sys)

• 1 tsp of vanilla essence

• 11 Oreo cookies (26 syns) 


I also added a sachet of options to the mix ;)

Method

Preheat oven to 180c or 350f (gas mark 4)


Grease a spring form pan.


Chop 10 Oreo’s into quarters


and roughly line the bottom of the spring form pan with 

the Oreo pieces.

Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs. 

Scrap the seeds from the vanilla pod and add to a large bowl


 along with the quark, cottage cheese, sugar, egg yolks, 

vanilla extract, little zest from a lemon and the cornstarch.

Whisk until all ingredients are well combined

In another bowl whisk the egg whites until they form soft 


peaks

Fold this into the rest of the mixture.


Pour this on top of the Oreo pieces in the springform pan 


and gently tap the sides, so the mixture is evenly distributed

Place in the oven and bake for approx 35 mins. When

 cooked the cheesecake will be slightly golden around the 

edges. You can gently place a skewer in the centre just to 

make sure the middle is not too wet still.

Leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door 


slightly ajar

Once cooled you can then place in the fridge to chill before


slicing.

Once ready to serve. Get the remaining Oreo cookie and


crush roughly with a knife and sprinkle this on the top.


When I took it out of the oven it didn't look very pretty......until I sliced it up. 




IT WAS AMAZING!!! at 7 Syns a slice it's well worth it!! 


I also had a couple of sweets at hockey....I'll add an extra 2 syns to my day 

Total Syns 13! 

More than I would usually have but I've had a good day!! 

They wouldn't let us have up to 15 a day if it was going to make us bigger! 


Hope you've all had a good weekend guys!! <3
