Easy Berry Cheesecake

playfortoday

I've been craving cheesecake like mad, but all the recipes I've seen have 700+ cals a piece, not worth it! So I came up with this easy, low-cal version.

Crust:
1 packet Tennis/Marie biscuits
100g butter, melted

Filling:
500g low-fat smooth cottage cheese
about 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar, or to taste
1/4 tsp vanilla essence

Berry sauce:
2 tbsp confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup mixed berries

1. Put the biscuits in a ziploc bag, seal it and smash with a rolling pin til in crumbs. Combine with butter in a bowl, and press flat into a round dish. Put in the fridge for 30 mins.
2. Whisk together cottage cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add more confectioner's sugar if not sweet enough. Put in the fridge til the crust is firm.
3. Cook berries, sugar, and a bit of water in a pot on the stove over medium heat til thickened. Berries don't have to be totally soft.
4. Combine 1/2 berry sauce with the cottage cheese mix and spoon over the crust. Refrigerate overnight, til set.
5. Before serving, pour the remaining berry sauce over.
