Black sesame cheesecake (no bake)

Black sesame cheesecake is one of those no bake recipes that are "sweet" but taste "savoury".  These are perfect for pot luck where you want to make something in advance!  In this recipe we made 2 layers


INGREDIENTS 

4 pkt sesame snaps

1T coconut butter (melted)

1C caster sugar (1/4C x 4)

600ml heavy cream for whipping (300ml x 2)

2 pkt (250g) Philadelphia cream cheese (must be room temp)

60g Black sesame paste (adjust quantity to taste)

3T lemon juice


METHOD

Line a 20x20cm square tin with baking paper, then the sesame snaps

Melt coconut butter in microwave

Pour onto sesame snap base to "glue together" and place in fridge to set

Whip 1 pkt of cream cheese with black sesame paste until smooth and combine with 1/4C of the sugar

In a separate bowl whip cream with 1/4C sugar until in peaks

Fold the cream into the cream cheese to combine

Pour over the sesame snap base and freeze overnight

Whip 1 pkt of cream cheese with lemon juice until smooth and combine with 1/4C of the sugar

In a separate bowl whip cream with 1/4C sugar until in peaks

Fold the cream into the cream cheese to combine

Reserve about 1/3C of mixture and microwave for 30 seconds (so it is runny)

Pour the second layer over the black sesame layer and smooth

Pour the reserved liquid to create a smooth finish, decorate (optional) and freeze overnight

To serve, use a hot knife to divide at each sesame snap.  Needs approx 2hours bench to be softened
