She\u2019d barely packed away the rest of the groceries when she\nwas hauling out bowls to make the tart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad suggested\nthat she find the recipe on her cell phone before she started but she just\nwaved her hand around airily and said, \u201cDon\u2019t be silly\u2014it\u2019s super easy. I\nremember exactly how to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum crushed up the biscuits in a plastic bag using the rolling pin.\u00a0 Of course, she didn\u2019t use a Ziploc bag as they suggested\u2014the bag broke and spewed contents all over the kitchen counter. It didn\u2019t matter because the counter was clean, so she just scooped them into the bowl that she\u2019d already greased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow long do you microwave them for?\u201d asked Dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThree\nminutes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it\nwas the first time that mum has ever actually managed to burn anything in the\nmicro. She spent some time picking out a few black crispy bits and muttering\nunder her breath. Then fetched her phone and double checked the recipe. &nbsp;In fact, the biscuit crumbs were only supposed\nto spend 35-40 <em>seconds<\/em> in the micro!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad smirked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She saved the\nday by melting a few spoons of butter and mixing it into the by now, rather dry,\nbiscuit crumbs. Then smooshed them down with the back of a spoon to make the\ncrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, she\nshook up the tin of condensed milk and mixed it together with the yoghurt in another\nbowl. That went into the micro for 2 minutes (actually the recipe said 2-3, but\nshe was erring on the safe side). She took it out, stirred it quickly again and\nthen popped it back in for another 3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then poured\nthe mixture over the biscuit base, let it cool a bit and put it in the fridge. Can\nyou believe that cheeky mum licked out the condensed milk tin without sharing?\nHow rude!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had cheesecake\nfor pudding that night topped with Auntie Rudi\u2019s fig jam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was\ndelicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sibo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cheesecake without any cheese!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[224,79],"tags":[226,228,227,225],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=875"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":879,"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875\/revisions\/879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.sibo.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
