Vanilla Cheesecake (Serves 8)
Total cost- £2.95 Cost per portion-37p!

250g Digestive Biscuits 25p
100g butter or margarine (plus extra for greasing) 20p
400g Cream Cheese £1.10
2 tsp vanilla extract 15p
3 tbsp Monin Vanilla Syrup 55p
100g icing sugar 14p
200ml Double cream 56p
Optional garnishes: I have used blackberries and mint, but you can use whatever you like!

1) Grease a loose bottomed pie tin on the base and the side. Blitz the biscuits to a fine crumb (either in a food processor, or put biscuits in a ziplock bag and bash until crumbed).

2) Melt butter in a pan, and mix into the biscuit crumbs. Pour into the greased pie tin, and press down evenly and firmly. Allow base to set in fridge for at least 30 minutes.

3) Hand mix together cream cheese, vanilla extract, vanilla syrup and icing sugar. Add the double cream, and then with an electric mixer, whisk this mixture for 2-3 minutes, until mixture has thickened to soft peak stage.

4) Pour topping over the base and smooth over, making sure mix goes all the way to the sides of the pie tin. Set in the fridge overnight. Remove from tin carefully, slice, and garnish however you like!

Note: This is a fab affordable recipe- but if you wanted to add a bit of luxury to it, use a vanilla pod with the seeds scraped out into the topping mix instead of vanilla extract. 1 vanilla pod these days costs £3 though- so only if your pushing the boat out!
