Cake help please!
Rather than go to Tesco and buy one off of the shelf, I've promised to make the Mrs a cheesecake from scratch this weekend.

Do any of you lovely B3tans have any suggestions that would help me make it a bit more interesting than just a tub of Philidelphia spread on a digestive?

I don't like cheese cake,
make a carrot cake instead,
if she doesn't like it you should leave her.

How about

Don't know if it helps with speech at all, but the results can be quite entertaining...

it's a shame I'm having to do that, because you make a good point

we aren't to blame for what the colonies have done to our beautiful language. you all committed that butchery yourselves.

And yet you and I and so many others,
rarely bother to use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling on this site.
(Poppet some assembly required., Thu 11 Jun 2009, 13:52, Reply)

I endeavour to use proper grammer
not ending a sentance with a preposition and such.

in the informal context however, I think that punctuation isn't really necessary.
there's no excuse for bad spelling, least of all in this day and age

I agree with this...
...and so does the Mrs normally but there are certain times and situations that just call for a cheesecake and this is one of them.

Bailey's and White chocolate cheesecake
You will need:
INGREDIENTS

Base:
8oz Digestive biscuits
4oz Butter
Topping:
400g GOOD White Chocolate
5 Tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream
2 Tablespoons Whiskey
500g Tub Crème Fraîche
5 fl oz / 142ml Tub Double Cream

METHOD


1. Take out an 8” or 10” tin. Blitz digestive biscuits to crumbs in processor and add softened butter and blitz again until starting to hold together. Press into tin and put in fridge.

2. Melt white chocolate in a large bowl. Run the beaters of an electric mixer under boiling water, dry, and slowly dribble alcohol onto melted chocolate, beating all the time. It may looked seized, but keep whisking and it will become smooth and glossy. Fold in the crème fraîche with a spatula or spoon, whip cream and fold that in too. Pour over base and leave to set in the fridge. Chill overnight.

It's a Nigella recipe. And from personal experience, it's made of equal parts NOM and WIN.

I was with you
Right up until the part about taking out a tin. :(
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 13:38, Reply)

I could do this
And it sounds like something the dear lady would love. Plus it has added alcohol as well. Can't really complain anywhere there. Cheers!

Mary Berry pwns Delia
I've got Mary Berry's cake book and her cheesecake is easily the best I've ever made. I've found a copy of the recipe here.

Incidentally, she also does the best carrot cake as well.
