Simple Strawberry Cheesecake

This is a low fat (slightly healthier) version than your average cheesecake.
Ignore the pickled onions in the background! (a vinegar-y remnant of christmas!) Things you will need are:
100g or so of your biscuit of choice- I went for ginger
2 tbsps melted stork or margarine
As many strawberries, berries or other fruit as you want for the topping
200g extra light soft cheese
150g  Greek yogurt
50g caster sugar (or fruit sugar if you want to be really healthy)
1 Tsp vanilla extract
A squeeze of Lemon juice (or a grafted zest of fresh lemon is better)
Some jam or coulis of you choice to act as sauce
Then start off by bashing your biscuits to hell and back in a freezer bag, with a rolling pin, then you want to add your melted margarine and stir together. Pack this at the bottom of whatever you're serving your dish in and leave in these fridge.
Then combine the soft cheese, yoghurt, vanilla, lemon and sugar and add more sugar if it's not sweet enough for you. Pile up on top of the biscuit and put back  in the fridge to chill for an hour or two.
Then when your ready to serve, put your jam or coulis onto the cheesecake mixture and load your fruit on top and enjoy :)

Thanks so much for the comments, I love reading all of them and really appreciate every comment I receive.

I DON'T do follow for follow' as it's rude and impersonal. So please DON'T ASK me to follow you! Leave your link and I always check out blog URLs left for me of my own accord and if I like a blog I'll follow anyway.
Hope this doesn't put anyone off reading my blog or come across as negative :)
