The Dogmother Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Couldn't believe how easy this one was! Ingredients For the base: 200g pack shortbread fingers 50g butter, melted For the filling: 300g Soft CReam Cheese 350ml crème fraîche 175g golden caster sugar 25g plain flour 3 large free range eggs, beaten (I used 4 bantam eggs) 1 dessertspoon Vanilla Extract For the topping: 200g fresh raspberries 200g fresh redcurrants (I used blueberries 'cause that's what I had) Icing sugar You will need a baking tray and a 20cm sandwich tin at least 4cm deep with a loose base, or a 20cm spring-form cake tin, greased and lined with a circle of Bake-O-Glide or baking parchment. (If the tin is less than 4cm you will need to line the sides as well, making sure Bake-O-Glide or parchment is a couple of centimetres above the level of the tin.) Method Preheat the oven to 150ºC, gas mark 3. 1. First blitz the biscuits into crumbs in a food processor, then tip them into a bowl and add the melted butter and give it a thorough mix. Next press the crumbs evenly into the base of the lined tin using the back of a metal spoon to give it a smooth surface. 2. Now make the filling. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, caster sugar and flour. Then stir in the crème fraîche, beaten eggs and vanilla - it will be very liquid, don't worry.. 3. Pour the mixture over the biscuit base and place it on a baking tray in the lower half of the oven. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, by which time the cheesecake will be barely coloured; it should be just set firm on the edge but still slightly wobbly in the centre. Remove from the oven and allow to cool (the surface may crack a little but don’t worry) before placing in the fridge for several hours to firm up. 4. For the topping, remove the redcurrants from their stalks by holding each string at one end over a bowl and use a fork to strip the currants away from the stalk. To serve the cheesecake, arrange the raspberries and redcurrants all over the surface and dust with icing sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks for the feedback Ali, but I don't know anything about the cookbook, so not sure how it got in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I dont think there are plans for Omlet Cookbook 3 but probably should be esp as we get new members all the time. "MODS are you there" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I always laugh when I see a new recipe in this section of the forum. Mainly because it's usually Dogmother or Lesley! They are always fantastic though! I once got sent some Millionaires Shortbread by post from Dogmother! Never forgotten that! My hubby would love this cheesecake. He can have this & I'll do me a Slimming World one. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
