Three-ingredient cheesecake

Surely I am not the only person who appreciates something sweet when they are feeling melancholy or a little stressed. Before making this observation, I admit my sweet tooth used to be a cause for concern.

Nowadays I’m very mindful about the amount of sugar I take in, when I get that feeling or a craving I don’t immediately act on it, if after two, three days I still have an itch, I’ll get some Gordans Wine Gums, Sour Worms, a Kit Kat or a slice of cake from the Goodie Bag Factory.

If I decide to make something, my go to dessert of choice is cake in a mug (bakes in under five minutes in the microwave), or non-bake cheesecake which sets in the fridge. Growing up, I was not exposed to cheese cake, I remember hearing about it in high school and thinking what an odd combination, I wanted nothing to do with it. Years later in varsity there was a corner coffee shop with a huge variety of cheesecake that a friend was obsessed with. It was then I learnt that all this time we weren’t referring to a piece of cake with a slab of cheese.
