Crush into finely crumbed. If food bag was used for crushing biscuits, transfer to bowl and add melted better and mix well. Set bowl aside for the moment.<\/p>\n<p \/>Line 4 small or two larger sized ramekins with cling film (I used 2 of the empty Mascarpone containers when doing the recipe). Set aside. **please see note below<\/p>\n<p \/>In a bowl empty contents of Mascarpone, add the icing sugar and fold into Mascarpone <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">gently<span style=\"font-style:italic;\"><\/span><\/span> until well blended. Spread the mix into the lined ramekins\/moulds. Smooth the biscuit mix in top. Put in fridge to set.<\/p>\n<p \/>For the fruit compote:<\/p>\n<p \/>Put the the berries, castor sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat gently for 3-4 minutes, or until berries start to burst. Leave to cool.<\/p>\n<p \/>When ready to serve, gather the corners of the cling film, lift out mix from ramekins, moulds and invert into a serving bowl. Drizzle with a tablespoon or two of fruit compote.  <\/p>\n<p \/>**NB: Will add a picture shortly. Also had a bit of a disaster with the Mascarpone on second make. It went runny. I was hoping that it would &#8220;reset&#8221; and harden, but it didn&#8217;t. Only put in moulds if Mascarpone stays firm, If it doesn&#8217;t, obviously serves as a messy dessert, with biscuit base, then the Mascarpone, then the fruit compote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"posterous_download_image\" src=\"\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a &#8220;cheats&#8221; cheesecake that&#8217;s no bake and can be made in short time.
