I got the idea for this thread from a discussion in the thread "what are your plans for this summer?"

Since its summer now..we can all share recipes and try them.. Its not fair if u do only the eating all the time! ;)

I'll go first:

Strawberry Cheesecake Pots (ma bro love makin this and Moi LOVES to eat it!! XD)

Ingredients

-85g light digestive biscuits
-150g tub 0%fat Greek yogurt
-150g extra light soft cheese
-200g Condensed Milk (Light)- if u don wana get fat :p
-juice of 1 lemon
-250g fresh strawberries
-3tbsp strawberry jam

Step 1- . Crumble the biscuits in your fingers, not too fine. Divide the crumbs between 6 wine glasses or small tumblers.

Step 2- Place the condensed milk into a bowl and add the lemon juice, stir together until the mixture has thickened. Whisk the cream cheese and yogurt in a small bowl until smooth then fold into the thickened condensed milk. Spoon the creamy mixture over the biscuits. Chill for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3- Chop the berries and mix with the strawberry jam and top the cheesecakes with the fruit to serve.

Tips: Try using other fruit to top your cheesecake – like blueberries, raspberries with a matching jam. Delicious!
