Can't fail cheesecake recipe:
It's in old money because I'm old.

6oz digestives

Crush biscuits and melt butter, mix and use to make the base in an 8" flan case.

Small tub double cream
Tub of mascarpone cheese
2oz caster sugar
juice and rind of one lime

Dump all in bowl,
Mix
Will go all thick,
Put on top of base
Put in fridge for 30 minutes or so.

Oh cool, that's pretty much identical to what I've done, except I've used creme fresh instead of cream, and made my own shortcake for the base.
I've studded stem ginger in them too, very thin and light places as the flavour of it is soo strong.

Oh, and egg yolk in the mix too, hopefully it'll make it richer.

So actually not the same at all then!
I'm not too fond of baked cheese cake, and I've made this a bazillion times so I know it works.

Hah, true, oh' yeah', there is lemon curd in there too... Quite similar though I guess.
I love both types of cheesecake, this I guess is half way between a custard tart and a cheesecake. I got a felling it would have been better with gelitine to help it set though, but we'll see.

The tarts are lush, but I accidently burnt them =(

=D


I'm not being funny, but this is the nicest sweet dish I've ever made, really sharp and creamy and sweet.

Use bourbon biscuits
And sling a bit of JD in with the cream and mascarpone mix!

That sounds good, orios are supposed to make a good base too.
The masciponi sauce here is nice: www.coll3ctive.co.uk/food/recipes/paulypops/deep-fried-puff-pastry-filled-with-mars-bar-and-joy/

You got any good ideas what to do with posh cider? Pork is the ovbouse awnser, but what exactly is aluding me. I'm gonna do a creamy crab pasta on saturday, looking forward to that.
