Faux York Crunchie-Butterscotch Cheesecake

This recipe is all about indulgence and it's totally up to you how far you go with the sweetness, i prefer a bit of 'tang' which is why I use quark (in addition to it allowing me to convince self it's a healthy dish!) and a bit of lime juice but it's totally up to you. My advice is add a little of the ingredients as you go with the cream cheese mixture, that way you'll get it just right!




Ingredients:

4 crunchy bars
Half pack digestives
200g butter
1 tub of quark (or cream cheese)
1 tub mascarpone
100g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lime juice
butterscotch sauce (to top)














Instructions:

1. Mash 2 crunchies and half a pack of digestives until smooth.

2. Melt 100g of the butter and mix with the crunchy and digestive mixture. Press into the bottom of a flan dish (mine's 8 inches).

3. Mix the quark and mascarpone together until blended then melt the remaining 100g of butter and stir into the mixture with the vanilla extract and lime juice.

4. Add the icing sugar in stages so that the sweetness is to your taste.

5. Crush the remaining crunchy bars and story them into the cheese mixture.

6. Smooth onto the biscuits and refrigerate to set for about two hours.

7. Drizzle with butterscotch sauce and serve.

voila, simples!
