cake

I personally like cheesecake.
 Last week I felt like experimenting with that. Here is what I came up with. A "no bake sour cream/ cream cheesecake" with gelatin and a crumb crust.
My family loved it, I hope you will, too.

No bake sour cream cheesecake:

Crust:
1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs ( here in Germany, I use " Butterkekse")
1 tbs. sugar
1/2 cup butter melted

Mix crumbs, sugar and melted butter together and press in a Spring form pan. Set it aside.

Cream:
1 cup of heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
1 pkg. powdered gelatin

1 cup sour cream
1 cup cream cheese
1 can mandarin oranges, drained


Place milk, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Take it of the heat and add the gelatin, stir until it is dissolved. Let it cool off, just a bit.

Mix together sour cream and cream cheese, then add the gelatin mix. Beat the whipping cream and fold it under the rest of the cream. Now you can add the drained mandarin oranges.
Pour the finished cream mix on the prepared crumb crust and let it set in the fridge for about 2 hours.
