Before I begin this post I should tell you that my in laws are coming to stay tonight to look after the wee man while hubby and I are at a very good friend's wedding (I'm a bridesmaid!). My in laws are fantastic, lovely, approachable people, but something happens when I cook for them, it all goes horribly wrong! So forgetting this I thought I would bake them a cheese cake. And this is how it went ...
Whizzed up 12 dark chocolate digestives in the food processer and mixed the resultng crumbs with 3 oz of melted butter. Then pressed this mix into a cake tin (with removable bottom). All good so far.
Then I mixed 4 packs of full fat soft cheese with 7oz caster sugar, 3 table spoons of plain flour, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 4 eggs (or 5 of our bantam chicken's very small eggs) and 85g of grated white chocolate. I placed the mixture on top of the biscuit crumbs in the tin and baked it at 180 degrees for 45 mins.
Then took it out and let it cool - looking good no?
Topped it with a few cadburys flakes and a sprinkling of icing sugar.
Then I couldn't help myself and sliced into it .... and well um .... lets call it a fondant baked cheese cake shall we?
I haven't got a picture of the runny mess as I shoved it in the freezer to try and make it set before they get here!
Boo hoo ;(
