We ventured off to our local supermarket and somehow ended up spending £30!!
Neither of us were quite sure how this happened but shopping with Ben tends to have a lot of impulse buying involved.
We decided that I would bake chocolate brownies with white chocolate and Benj would bake white chocolate and jam cheesecake. In the end both of them turned out really well and Ben hasn't stopped mentioning that there is still cheesecake in the fridge so if you have a friend, relative or boyfriend that likes pudding - I would definitely advise this one!
To make this Cheesecake you will need...
Ingredients:
300g of cream cheese.
250g of mascarpone cheese.
300ml of double cream.
2x300g of white chocolate.
500g of biscuits.
Fruit for topping.
Here are step by step instructions to achieve the same cheesecake as ours:
1. Crush the biscuits until completely ground. Add butter until desired consistency.
2. Add the biscuit mixture to a cake tin and pat till flat. TIP: Key is to use the right amount of butter to bind the biscuit together; too little, and it will be really crumbly; too much and it will become soft.
3. Begin melting the chocolate in a glass bowl over a a small pan of hot water on a low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Mix the soft cheese and mascarpone cheese together with a whisk; electric if possible. Add double cream and whisk. Finally, add melted chocolate to the mixture and whisk. The mixture may seem slightly 'curdled' just continue whisking.
5. Spoon the mixture over the cooled and set biscuit base. Return to the fridge to cool for as long as possible, until the topping is set. Finally decorate with fruit or other topping.
Ta-daa!
I hope this is helpful - let me know what you like to bake!
