INGREDIENTS
for base
digestive biscuits 8-10 well crushed
butter 1 1/2 tbsp
melt butter, add to crushed biscuits, spread in a well greased springform cake tin
refrigerate the base for at least 30 minutes, so that butter hardens & the base becomes hard
for cheese cake
cooked macaroni 2 cups ( macaroni should be well cooked but retain its shape, cook without salt) OR one can even use paneer crumbled 100 gm or half macaroni & half cottage cheese !
dairy cream/ fresh cream 1/2 cup
condensed milk 3-4 tbsp as per taste or you may also add castor sugar/ sugar substitute to taste
hung curd 2 tbsp
gelatin/ China grass 3 tsp soaked in hot water

soak gelatin/ China grass stir well, till it is all well soaked/ absorbed
add to cream beat lightly, add macaroni, mix well with spoon

push the springform up, keep it on a plate cut & serve with strawberry sauce
f
or strawberry sauce
strawberry cut into pieces 1/2 cup
water roughly 1/2 cup
sugar 3-4 tbsp depending on how sweet strawberries are
corn flour 1/2 tsp mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
cook strawberries with sugar till it gets thick & you can mash it well
to make it thicker, add the corn flour mixture little by little, keep stirring to see how thick it becomes, you may need the entire amount of cornflour mixture sometimes, but remember, once the sauce gets cold, it will thicken.
TO ASSEMBLE
cut the cheese cake, pour the strawberry sauce on it little, then if you prefer place a piece of strawberry on top OR
you may serve with some vanilla ice-cream & a piece of strawberry ! serve at once.
NOTE- you may omit macaroni & add cottage cheese if you prefer, but adding macaroni gives a nice texture to it, when you cut the cake, or you may add just 1 cup of macaroni & add 1/2 cup of crumbled cottage cheese also to give a different taste.
Some may not like the smell of gelatine, they may use China grass instead or add some vanilla essence to camouflage the smell !
