Ingredients
For Cheesecake
- 150g cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 medium egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
For Base
- 3 Tbsp rolled oats
- 1 Tbsp melted butter
Instructions
For Base
1. On a pan, roast some oats, and melt the butter. Do this separately.
2. Once the oats gets a nutty flavour and some light brown color, mix them in a small bowl with melted butter.
3. Divide this mixture into two ramekins to make a flat base.
For cheesecake
1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
2. In a medium bowl add cream cheese at room temperature, mix in sugar until smooth.
3. Add yolk and vanilla and mix until well creamy.
4. Fill each ramekin with this mixture to ¾ of the way.
5. Take a deep baking tray and place the ramekins in. Fill the tray with water. This will provide steam in the oven so the ramekins don’t crack.
