Triangle Cheesecake

Triangle Cheesecake – Cape Malay Cooking & Other Delights – Salwaa Smith
One of the first cheesecake recipes I learned to make as a teenager many years ago and is still a favourite 🙂

Ingredients:
125g butter
1 large egg
250g cream cheese
24 tennis biscuits
1 cup fresh cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
15 glace cherries
Flake chocolate to decorate
Foil

Method:
In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar together.

Add the egg, vanilla essence and cream cheese.

Place 3 rows of tennis biscuits on a piece of foil.

Place rows length wise side by side.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the biscuits.

Add a row of cherries down the centre.

Lift the foil from sides of the pyramid leaving the center biscuits to form a base, pinch the two sides together to close.

Leave to set in the fridge overnight.

Before serving, spread the cake with whipped cream and garnish with the chocolate.
