It’s Johny’s birthday tomorrow and I wanted to make him a birthday cake to take into work. Mum suggested that I call my youngest sister Sara for her Oreo Cheese Cake recipe.

Sara SMS’s me the recipe because its wasn’t written down, its just something she made up. Therefore, I decided that this blog would be dedicated to Sara’s marvellous  No Bake Frozen Oreo Cheese Cake.

Ingredients:

• 2 packets of oreos
• 50g of softened butter
• small container of cream
• tsp of vanilla essence
• 1 block of Philly cream cheese
• 1/2 cup of icing sugar
• block of white chocolate

Method

• Get out a round, quick release cake tin approx 20cm
• line with baking paper
• process the oreos and the butter in the processor until all the oreo chunks have gone
• press this mix into the bottom of the tin so that its compact and even, place in the freezer
• whip the cream and the vanilla essence in a bowl until thick
• beat the Philly cream cheese and icing sugar in another bowl until combined
• mix the cream and vanilla into the Philly cream mix
• crush the white chocolate bar into little pieces and mix into the cream and Philly cheese mix
• take the frozen base out of the freezer, pour the cream mix onto the base and smooth with the back of the spoon until flat and even
• put the cake back in the freezer and freeze for at least 5 hours, overnight if possible
• take out of the freezer about 1/2 hour before you eat

options:

• use low fat Philly cheese, it tastes just as good
• get an extra pack of oreos, process and add to the cream mix when adding the white chocolate chunks
• I found that the above recipe makes quite a small cake so if you want something that sits higher then double the amounts of cream, vanilla, philly cheese and icing sugar.

AND ENJOY!
