I have made a cheesecake in the past, a Passionfruit cheesecake which was refrigerated rather than baked. You can find the recipe here: http://girlbaking.blogspot.com/2013/07/passion-fruit-cheesecake.html
While the ingredients will make your heart stop, the end result is delicious.
Ingredients:
For the pastry:
85g plain flour
40g ground almonds
50g caster sugar
85g unsalted butter
For the filling:
850g full-fat cream cheese
270g caster sugar
2 medium eggs, 1 egg yolk
420ml whipping cream
50g plain flour
1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract
Grated nutmeg
Method:
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius fan. Grease a 23 cm tin.
Mix the ingredients for the pastry together in a bowl and press the mixture onto the bottom of the tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden, the set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius fan.
Combine the cream cheese and sugar. Add the eggs, yolk and cream and lightly mix. Fold in the flour with the vanilla extract and nutmeg.
Bake in the oven for around 1 hour. The cheesecake should have slightly risen at the edge and should wobble slightly when moved. Leave the cheesecake to cool and then remove from tin.
Cover with tin foil and leave the chill overnight.
I served it with berries and some chocolate Flake, sprinkled on the top.
Happy Baking! Gx
