Hannes Birthday Cheesecake

Hanne turned 2 last April! We invited Vegar´s family over for a little Birthday Dinner. I was thinking of a cake that will be "healthy" enough for Hanne yet something she will love to eat. She LOVES gele, LOVES sour things (such as sour berries, kefir milk, yoghurt) and likes creamy stuff. So, I thought of making this no-bake Cheese Cake with a gelatine topping for a non-traditional birthday cake.

Ingredients:
Topping:
flavored gelatine (enough to make 1 liter of gelatine) - choose the flavor and color you want

150ml sour cream
110g sifted powdered/icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
200g cream cheese (I used the Philadelphia brand)
1 pack lemon gelatine (dissolved in only 2dl water instead of the usual 4 or 5 dl)
300ml heavy cream

Base:
400g sweet crushed oatmeal cookies (I guess you can use graham crackers. The oatmeal cookies we have here is different from the normal home-baked oatmeal cookies).
220g softened butter


Steps:
1. Dissolve your flavored gelatine in water and pour into your chosen form pan (it can be a baking pan).
2. Let gelatine set in the refrigerator for at least 4 to 6 hours. Gelatine should be really firm before you start making the cream cheese part.
3. Whip heavy cream until stiff.
4. In a separate bowl, whip cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until the lumps in the cream cheese is gone (smoother consistency). Blend in whipped cream. Mix in dissolved lemon gelatine until everything is fully blended.
5. Pour mixture on top of the flavored gelatine in your form pan.
6. Let cream cheese mix set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or until firm enough to hold the cake base).
7. Mix together crushed cookies and margarine. Press on top of the cream cheese mix to form "base" of the cake.
8. Cool in the fridge for a few hours.

Just before serving the cake, dip pan in hot water for a few seconds. THis will help release the cake from the pan. Invert cake onto plate and lift pan carefully until cake has slipped off the pan.
