2. Add biscuits (breaking up abit as you add them) 3 secs / Speed 6 to combine. Press over base of a slice tin (26 x 16 approx) and refrigerate until set.
3. Wash bowl. Drain pineapple juice into TM (reserve crushed pineapple for later). Sprinkle gelatine over the juice and not the blades 4:30 mins / 60o / Speed 1. Remove and set aside to cool.
4. Cream Philly cheese and condensed milk 20 secs / Speed 5. Add lemon juice and cooled gelatin mix 1 min / Speed 5.

Trudy - This sounds like one my Mum makes. She also cuts it into small pieces and freezes it for when she get an unexpected visitor. Haven't made it for ages so thank you for reminding me.
Zada - Omg! Just tried some, this would be the best slice I've made! Thank you!
Emme - Want to thank you CP for sharing this recipe. I made this yesterday and it was lovely. Did not have any lemons so used limes. Have been asked to make it again. Thanks again.
KarenH - Thank you CP - this is delicious! Guess what - the kids don't like this. That means it is ALL for DH and me!! YAY!!
MF - This is really delicious. It's so good that I had to make another one yesterday for my mum as she loved it so much.
Thanks CP.
Obbie - I made this again on Saturday, and Yum.. My favourite now..
Mab19 - Made this today and it is YUM. Might add just a tad more gelatine next time as it was a little bit "sloppy" Will certainly be making it again.
JD - I made this before CC came out to Australia last August but this, along with some lamingtons, never got to see the light of day for my special guest. I thought I had reviewed it but I obviously forgot to click on 'post'. The main reason for coming back on here is to say that tonight I had a piece thawed and it was still as good as the day I made it. Very handy to be able to make desserts ahead of time and freeze individual portions for a quick dessert for unexpected visitors.
-
CP my DD would love this. I think you may have left out a step though, when do you add the pineapple juice mixed with gelatin back in? sorry if I'm just not reading correctly.
-
Its a lovely cheesecake slice I'm sure he will enjoy it. Really easy too now that its converted. Step 3, you just drain the pineapple juice out of the can straight into the TM jug. Does that read ok?
-
CP you are not good for my waistline or my hips. :)
-
Sorry CP, but after you ave added and dissolved the gelatin you say to set it aside but I can't see where you add it back, I assume with lemon juice.
-
Yum :D
DH would love me if I made this for him.

Shopping in WW today and pineapple was on special, straight away thought of this recipe and bought 5 tins... Too scared to make it though as I know I won't be able to stop eating it.
-
Go for it - one a week for five weeks - you now have an excuse :D
-
Does anyone have a easy base recipe for this instead of buying biscuits .
-
Good question, maybe these:
Marie Biscuits (http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/home-made-marie-biscuits/44658)
Choc Ripple (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6556.0)
Hobb (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5793.0)Biscuits
-
Thanks CP I might give the Hobb Bis a go tomorrow. Make them as a base, I hope they will cut ok.

Very sorry to hear that Karen! Lol! :D :P

This is in my fridge now to take to a picnic tomorrow.
Should I freeze it and then take it with me and let it defrost or would it be ok as is and just put it in the esky?
Don't want a gooey slush ;)
-
Sounds good.. Another on the list.. Thx cp..
-
MF, Trudy said in her posting that this recipe sounds like one her Mum makes and freezes so there's your answer for you. It might travel better if frozen or slightly frozen.
-
Thanks Judy that's what I thought. I cut out a little slice and it's yum.
-
This is really delicious ;D
It's so good that I had to make another one yesterday for my mum as she loved it so much.
Thanks CP ;D

wow thats handy to know it freezes well. enjoy your piece :D
-
I did thanks CP ;D
-
I love the sound of this but have lots of fresh pineapple to use up. Can someone tell me approx. how much pineapple juice I would need to add to the gelatin. I will then crush some fresh pineapple and get the juice that way.
-
I made a strawberry version of this during the week to have as dessert with some friends. I stewed a punnet of strawberries in a little water and then just followed the recipe as normal. I wasn't sure how much juice is in a can of pineapple so just used half a cup of the cooking liquid.
I sliced it up and put it in the freezer and it thawed out nicely.
-
Oh yummo Mab :D
-
They certainly look good, great alternative to pineapple Margaret.
-
Delicious Margaret 8)
-
Thanks for bringing this to our attention and the conversion; back when cheesecakes first became popular this one and a lemon one seemed to be served at every kitchen tea that was held. The strawberry version sounds great. They would be both good for all the "bring a plates" at the end of the year.
-
Great thinking Margaret.
-
I made this using strawberries and it's really nice. We still prefer the pineapple version but the strawberry is still good. Thanks CP.(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/03/f860422754c7502e1e44ed13835fab40.jpg)

I love the colour.
-
I made this again today using pineapple. It freezes well.
-
Another handy bump. thanks Mab.
