Hey, Julia, psssst ... don't tell Jeroen but I've got a recipe for chocolate no bake cheesecake. Is that OK with you? (Haven't got a clue as to what Oreo is.) But I've got a recipe that is dead easy to make.
Filling: Use good quality whipped wip cream (maybe add something to keep it stable, dr. Oetker has f.i. 'Sahne fix') and fromage frais or quark or even (high fat if you can) yoghurt in equal amounts. Mix with a mixer, blender whatever you've got untill the mixture is smooth. Than add* cocoa powder (the real stuff), sugar (maybe some rum or orange zest or anything else you'd like) and perhaps some crushed dark chocolate untill you feel the mix tastes really nice. Add some melted** gelatine (use the amount of leafes you'd need to solidify if the mix where all liquid), mix it in. Stirr. The mix is fairly liquid at this stage but that will change once it's been in the fridge (not the freezer, mind). Put the mix into a tin on the crumbled biscuit and melted butter bottom. (You only need baking paper lining the bottom of the tin underneath the crumble. The part of the topping touching the tin will melt when you use a hot towel, after which you can easily remove it from the tin.). Put it in the fridge for a while. Tastes really fab and only takes about 20 minutes to make. Most of the work goes into crushing enough of the chocolate chip cookies (fighting off any passers by) for making the crumble. ;o) And the longest part is waiting for the stuff to solidify enough so you can eat it (at least 2 to 3 hours). Oh and the washing up afterwards of course. But since you've got a dish washer that shouldn't be too much of a problem. :o) Sonja * Actually you can add anything you like here. If you like it fruity use fruit and sugar or even use flavoured yoghurt instead of the neutral one (that is a dead easy tip for the lazier cooks among us), or maybe add cereal (it doesn't stay crunchy though). Or what about nuts and honey or if you feel like it leave it natural. Whatever suits your tastes. Just make sure you get the right type of cookies so the crumble goes with the cheesecake filling you make. ** Melt the in water soaked gelatine leafs holding the bottom of the bowl in hot water, add one spoonfull of hot water to the gelatine Julia Thompson wrote: > Um, I can *buy* chocolate pie crusts at my grocery store.
