Chef Jamie Oliver has shared a cheesecake recipe that only uses five ingredients – and it’s one that will impress guests.
The cook’s Mediterranean vanilla cheesecake is a creamy dessert that only uses simple ingredients and takes around 10 minutes to prepare. If you’re making it for a large group of people, it’s good news as the mouth-watering cheesecake serves up to 12 people.
He said: “Inspired by the much-loved baked cheesecakes you find in parts of the Mediterranean, this tasty, cheeky little pudding is dead easy together, but the finished result looks super impressive.”

The recipe is adaptable and can act as a base meaning you can decorate with whichever toppings you want. From fresh fruit, caramel or chocolate – you can make the dessert even more to your liking, reports the Express.
