Strawberries with Cheesecake Dip – The story of a very lazy lady.

So right now I bet you’re thinking, what a little angel, what a little sweetie….. how cute!    Right?

WRONG

See this is the laziest child known to man. I know this because that child was me, & I am still pretty darn lazy.  That shocked & disgusted face was probably in response to my mum asking me to put my own bowl in the sink or worse…make my bed.  The horror! Those big blue eyes were the perfect tool for emotional blackmail. heh-heh-he.

What’s the point of making my bed? I am just going to sleep in it again in a few hours.

My idea of heaven was (and still is) lying belly down all day on the couch with no one around to hog the remote control. mmmm soooo laaazy

I should add at this point I have become a lot better since I was a child. I do occasionally make the bed & wash the dishes nowadays, although I haven’t quite mastered motivating myself into doing laundry on a regular basis.

One department I usually don’t take the lazy shortcut in is the kitchen. I am normally quite happy to slave for a few hours over a hot oven however moving house does not permit spending 2 hours waiting for a baked strawberry cheesecake to set.

Enter strawberry cheesecake for the clinically lazy.

I know the advocat is a somewhat bizarre edition however it adds a good colour & the necessary egginess without  using a raw egg yolk. It is however, optional if you don’t feel like getting the kids all liquored up.

The best part is you just drop it all in a bowl & mix it, it takes about 4 minutes. Instant cheesecake gratification & not too bad on the hips either! It is genius if I do say so myself.
