NO-BAKE TIRAMISU CHEESECAKE
My own recipe
Ingredients:
For the crust:
Glucose/Marie/Digestive biscuits-200g ( I used Parle-G )
Melted butter- 100g
Sugar-2 tbsp
Method:
- Crush the biscuits and mix it very well with the melted butter till it resembles coarse sand.
- Add the sugar and give it a quick mix.
- Pat it into the bottom of an 8" round loose bottom /springform tin. If you want, you can build up a bit on the sides too, like I did.
- Refrigerate it for 30 mins while you prepare the batter.
For the cheesecake batter:
Heavy cream/Amul cream-400g
Sugar-6-7 tbsp or to taste
Home made Mascarpone cheese-400g

Method:
- Whip the cream and sugar into stiff peaks. Fold in the mascarpone cheese into it.
- Melt gelatin either using the double boiling method or by in the microwave for 10 secs.
- Add the gelatin, rum and coffee and fold in carefully.
- Pour over the base and leave it to set in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
- Drizzle chocolate ganache on top and decorate as you wish.

Verdict : It was really delicious! And I was jumping with joy when I cut through it...it set perfectly and the crust behaved so well! Now I know the secret to get a well behaving crust...add melted butter to it! Jobin's eyes widened with delight as he took the first bite...it was really good!
