No-Bake Strawberry Jelly Cheesecake

When jelly meets cheese... It is so mmmm refreshing.
Zac and Nana love this. What better way to enjoy some of their favourite food!

Got this awesome recipe from Mimi Bakery House...

Base

1. In a large bowl, combine biscuit crumbs and melted butter and mix well. Pour biscuit mixture into an 8 inch springform pan, levelling the base with a flat spatula. Use a fork to prick holes all over the biscuit base. Chill in fridge for at least an hour. 

- 170 gm digestive biscuit, crushed
- 85 gm melted salted butter

Cheesecake Layer

1. Dissolve gelatin powder in a bowl of hot water. Set aside for a few mins before placing over a pot of simmering water. Once completely dissolved, set aside to cool fully. 

- 2 tsp gelatin
- 50 ml hot water

2. Cream the cheese till smooth. Add in condensed milk and lemon juice, continue to mix until well combined. Add in the cooled gelatin mixture. Cream for 5 mins until well combined. Pour mixture into pan, and chill for about 5 mins.

- 250 gm cream cheese (room temp)
- 250 gm condensed milk
- juice of 1 lemon

3. Place cut strawberries onto the cream cheese mixture, decorate as desired. Gently press so that the strawberries do not glide. Leave to set in the fridge for at least 4 hrs.
- 1 punnet of strawberries

Jelly Layer
1. In a bowl, add jelly powder and boiling water. Whisk to dissolve the jelly crystals completely, then add cold water. Gently pour the cooled jelly mixture over the cream cheese layer. Return to fridge and chill for a few hours until the jelly is set.
- 1 box (90 gm) strawberry jelly
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 3/4 cup cold water

* With each slice of cheesecake, wipe knife clean with a kitchen towel and dip the blade in water. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Buckle up for safety

Maybe this is Nana's way of telling her papa how much she trust him behind the wheels? Haha. 

By the way, that is a box of cereal which she bought for her brother. Always so caring and loving towards everyone around her.

Our baby gal is graduating!

This is it! Our little girl is finally moving on from Kindergarten. After months of practising, all the graduating classes will be putting up a dance today. Nana is so excited! Her class will be performing using the song from The Lion King 2 - "He Lives In You." 

On another note, we have been back for almost 2 years now! Where has all the time gone to?!

Father and Son battle

Once Zac completed all his school homework, he took out his Nerf guns... And there we were, in a cross fire, a battle between father and son.
