THE IDEAL NO BAKE DIDSBURY GIN CITRUS CHEESECAKE RECIPE

With its creamy filling and buttery biscuit base, we wouldn’t turn down a cheesecake in any form, but when combined with your favourite cocktail? Now that’s a match made in heaven. Manchester-based spirits brand Didsbury Gin have partnered with MasterChef 2015 winner Simon Wood to show fans just how easy it is to create this No Bake Didsbury Gin Citrus Cheesecake at home just in time for World Gin Day. Check out the IDEAL recipe below!

INGREDIENTS

  • 120ml Didsbury Gin Original (£29.95)
  • 30g Caster Sugar
  • 125g Digestive Biscuits Crumbs
  • 40g Butter, Melted
  • 1 Grapefruit
  • 1 Orange
  • 1 Lime
  • 1 Lemon
  • 280g Cream cheese
  • 397g Can Condensed Milk
  • 90ml Fresh Lemon Juice

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

  • Add 120ml Didsbury Gin Original (£29.95) to a saucepan along with 30g Caster Sugar and reduce by two thirds.
  • Combine the biscuit crumbs and melted butter and press into the base of your moulds. Make sure you don’t overwork it as you want it to hold together but still be a crumbly, buttery biscuit base. Cue Gregg Wallace. Actually, don’t.
  • Anyway, use a grater or micro plane to zest your citrus fruits. Retain a little of each to garnish your finished dessert.
  • Whisk together the cream cheese and condensed milk. Then stir in the lemon juice and your reduced gin syrup, add in your citrus zest combination and mix well before pouring over the prepared base. 
  • Next, chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge until set, serve with your remaining citrus zest.

Didsbury Gin is available from £14.95 online at didsburygin.com
