Late Night Dessert (Strawberry Milo Cheesecake)
I thought those great sandwiches and soup deserved a good dessert.
So I decided to make a cheesecake with strawberries and milo. For those who may not know, milo is a chocolate malt powder made by Nestlé. This is not a beautiful cheesecake, but I was in a rush and the taste is fantastic. I cannot fathom the amount of calories in this cheesecake with the cream cheese, sugar, MILO!, and sweetened strawberries, butter, and graham crackers. But it is oooh soooo worth it!
1pkg of graham crackers
2 (8oz) pkg(s) cream cheese
1½C sugar
3oz butter (melted)
½C Milo
1Tbs evaporated milk
10oz Frozen Sliced Strawberries
Crush the graham crackers until a coarse meal, add the butter and mix in an 8″ pie pan. Spread out the graham cracker mixture in the pie pan, and then lay down a sheet of wax paper over the graham crackers and press down and shape the crackers into a pie crust.
Heat the cream cheese around 40 secs in a microwave (do cover as it will splatter), or use room temp cream cheese. To the cream cheese add sugar, evaporated milk and blend till creamy smooth and absolutely no lumps.
Heavy dust the inside of the graham cracker crust with milo powder, reserving some for the top of the cheesecake.
Spread the cream cheese filling into the pie shell moving from the center of the pie to the outside, taking care not to spread the graham crackers onto the surface of the cheesecake.
Heavy dust the surface of the cheesecake with the remaining milo powder.
Top with thawed sliced frozen strawberries.
Chill and serve.
