Strawberry Cheesecake Porridge

Summer days call for summer puddings. And strawberry cheesecake is both indulgent and fresh. This porridge version is really delicious. I put some strawberries in the porridge mixture before cooking as I love the contrasting taste of fresh strawberries with cooked ones. Feel free to play around with the amount of sweetener in the yoghurt/cream cheese mix if you want it a bit less sweet.

Ingredients

Serves 1

Porridge

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 cup water

• 2 strawberries, chopped

• 1 tsp honey

• Pinch of salt

• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

• Granola

• 1 tbsp yogurt

• 2 tbsp cream cheese

• 1 tsp honey

• Strawberry jam

• Fresh strawberries

(Notes on substitutions found below the method)

Method:

1. Mix together the porridge ingredients. On the hob: place the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy. In the microwave: place the ingredients in a microwave proof bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute, give it a good stir for 30s minutes. Put back in the microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy.

2. To make the cheesecake mixture, combine the yoghurt, cream cheese and 1 tsp honey.

3. Top your porridge with the cheesecake mixture, granola, jam and fresh strawberries.

Notes and substitutions:

• Oats: I use regular porridge oats, but you can use any type. Just adjust the cooking time.

• Milk: Any milk works, including soy and nut milks.

• Honey: You can replace with the same quantity of any sweetener (maple syrup, sugar etc)

• Cream cheese: If you haven't got cream cheese feel free to just use yoghurt.
