Cheesecake Slice


This recipe is from my new favourite cook book, "Food Before 5" by Amanda Arnold. I've been cooking a few things out of it, and find all of the recipes so easy, family-friendly and delicious!

This slice is no exception - super easy to do and super tasty!  You could easily substitute the lemon and passionfruit for other flavours.  Keep in the fridge, or it's also suitable to freeze.


Ingredients
1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup caster sugar
125g butter, melted
125g cream cheese
1 x 400g tin condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
pulp of 1 passionfruit

Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius/160 fan-forced.

In a bowl, combine flour, coconut, sugar and butter.  Press firmly into a slice pan lined with baking paper.

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.  Remove from oven and cool.

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.  Add condensed milk and beat until smooth.

While beating, gradually add lemon juice to thicken the mixture.  Add passionfruit pulp and beat.

Spread over cooled base and refrigerate for about 4 hours or until set.  Cut to size.
