So i'm guessing one of the Waitrose Cheesecakes was the one you guys prefered, hum, Interesting. We often have the Waitrose new York Cheesecake in our dinning room with our lunch, but the one i think i prefer is actually from Iceland, and £2, and is much much larger than most you get from other stores.
Alex: I think its because its actually quite hard to make a good cheesecake.
Not Really :) You just have to do it yourself!
Quote:
*top*
400 - 450g cream cheese
4 big eggs
300g white chocolate**
225g creme fresh
*bottom*
150g digestive biscuits
20g toasted flaked almonds
60g unsalted butter***
*tools*
oven
springform cake tin
*showing off*
vanilla pod or nice vanilla white chocolate with vanilla seeds in or vanilla extract, add to top mix
oven to 150 C
really easy. Leave the cheese out of the fridge for a bit to warm up.
Bottom
Turn biscuits into crumbs, add almonds and melted butter
Line base of tin then add biscuit mix and press down
Top
melt chocolate over pan of boiling water**
beat cheese with electric whisk
add eggs, beat some more, add sour creme beat some more (must be absolutely lump free)
add melted chocolate then stir to mix completely
pour into tin
put into oven for ca 45 mins. middle of cake should be just firm, cake will have risen a bit****
**melting chocolate is easy. melting white chocolate is a pain in the ass - I find that even with awesome chocolate I need more heat and have to stir before pouring into the mix to remove lumps of part melted choc. Expect this bit to take longer than expected.
***you can ruin the cake (make it taste crap) by adding too much butter to the base. Its just there to help bind the mix into a compact base.
**** the cake top will discolor a bit as it cooks - you can fix this with some foil over the top. It will also crack as it rises + then cools. Its possible to fix this by cooking at a lower temp + shorter time and then turning the oven off and leaving the cake in the oven to cool. If you are lucky. Or you can just make a topping for the cake!
The M&S Sicilian Lemon and Ricotta Cheesecake seems to have had a strange effect on Clive and Harry. Clive looks like he's about to murder someone and Harry has a very rare look of confusion!
Well if you want someone who has no idea what they're on about, but does a publishing course and likes cheesecake, I should be avaliable next Christmas :p
In all seriousness though, I think we need another energy drink roundup :)
They even do a hybrid model ! .. cross between a banoffee pie and a cheesecake.. to die for .. or kill for :-)
the honeycomb cheesecake aint too bad either.
Both seem to be better than any shop bought ones I can find !
The fruity tart one looked good tbh, but it's probably just me.. I haven't eaten anything remotely solid for five ish days, oral surgery around Christmas is the worst.
Cheesecake is probably edible though, but only through a straw.
Seems like this year was worse than last year for ftw, too bad :-(
I enjoyed reading this (and last years one too) but I don't like cheesecake, so it's all a moot point for me. Do something that everyone likes; ice cream or proper cakes!
Being bored, working Christmasday nights, I have accepted your challange on page 2!
It appears that there is a EC directive 89/397/EEC which creates annual inspections of foodstuffs and the categorisation on foodstuffs for analysis for statistical reasons, and from this Cheesecake is categorised merely EU Category 13 - Ices and Desserts, but alas, there is no definition given - however Tarts, pies and crumbles are in EU Category 7 (Cereals and Bakery Products), so one doubts if the Gu is really a cheesecake as was suggested, but then again it could chocolate Moussse and thus back in category 13!
The Cheese and Cream Regulations 1995 were of no use either, this I have turned to the dictionary definition being an English noun....
Main Entry: cheese·cake
Pronunciation: \-ˌkāk\
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
1 : a dessert consisting of a creamy filling usually containing cheese baked in a pastry or pressed-crumb shell
2 : a photographic display of shapely and scantily clothed female figures often used attributively compare beefcake
Therefore, maybe next years cheescake supertest can be on the 2nd accepted definition......

How about a chocolate mega-test (very important for battlefield stamina) or a 3-way ice cream shoot-out with Supermarket wildcards!! (BTW I have found ice cream is always very cheap when the weather is -5C)
