Somewhere In The Ether…

Did’st thou know that the origins of this scrumptious desert can be traced back over 4000 years?

Verily, I shit thee not! Indeed it stems back from the fifth century BC, and the ancient Greeks on the island of Samos who have been credited with inventing the earliest known recipe.

But enough of this extraordinarily fascinating and highly educational history lesson.

Good folks; What is your favourite flavour?

When was the last time you gormandised one?

Do you make your own?

May I please eat it for you?

Please discuss everything cheesecake related in fact

A little controversial but I find it literally too creamy/dairy of taste. Obviously that makes me sound like an absolute nincompoop but I know what I mean.

I have to have a fruit coulis to go with it. Cut through the “cheese”.

I only make baked cheesecakes, and quite an expert, even though I say so myself. ( As do all of the people I make for.) I use curd cheese, ricotta or twarog. They don't crack and have a heavenly dry cream texture, very slightly grainy. Plain vanilla/lemon for me is best, but also like lime.

Velvet Cheesecake 20cm

Make base of your choice, crumb, pastry or sponge.

Filling

Separate 2 eggs. Beat the yolks with 450 g curd cheese, ½ teaspoon vanilla, juice and rind of half a lemon, 50 g melted butter, 50 g caster sugar, 2 level tbsp cornflour, and 150 ml soured cream, until smooth and thick. Whisk the whites to stiff peaks, then whisk in an additional 2 tsp caster sugar. Fold the whites into the cheese mixture, then fill the prepared pastry. Ensure the top is smooth and level.

Bake at 180 °C for 35–40 minutes. When cooked, the area round the rim will feel firm to the touch; the cake will continue to set as it cools. Chill once fully cooled.

If I'm making a baked style one I use lemon and rum soaked raisins. It's my version of the traditional polish style.

For the set variety, I usually have to make 2. A raspberry and passion fruit and a millionaires. (Or something sharp and fruity alongside a very sweet one containing chocolate.

Did a banoffee cheesecake for my neighbour last week, she adored it.

Random Cheesecake Fact: Did you know that the world record for the largest cheesecake ever made weighed in at a whopping 4000kg(!!!)

This record breaking cheesecake was made in Russia in 2017 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Stavropol city, and was almost a metre tall(!!!!)

I like most bit particularly citrus and forest fruits like mango , black cherry , blue berry and lime

I had one a couple of weeks back at cheesecake factory, I’m due another soon.

I only ever made one. A mango and passion fruit vegan one when I was dating a vegan. It was amazing , the cheesecake was ok, the cheese part a bit tasteless I would add vanilla pods to it but she was allergic

Someone on this forum made me a dark fruit one once , it was divine , and the cheesecake was amazing too

I prefer lime when I use ginger for cheesecake, the zest looks really pretty curled on the top too.

This recipe is as close as I can get to the glorious Grodzinski's cheesecake, late of London's Whitechapel. It gets a gentle bake that keeps the upper crust soft and blond, and sits upon a shortcrust base. Serves eight.

50g unsalted butter, softened

100g plain flour

¼ tsp baking powder

175g caster sugar

175g extra thick double cream

500g full-fat cream cheese

2 eggs, separated

1 tbsp cornflour

Zest from ¼ lemon

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/gas mark 3. Line a 20cm round springform cake tin with a single, unbroken sheet of foil. Rub 25g butter in with the flour, baking powder and 25g of the sugar until the mix turns to fine, buttery crumbs. Mix in 50g of the cream and squidge until it combines into a dough. Roll this out into a 20cm round, lay it on the base of the tin and press flat. Prick the surface with a fork, then bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.

Put the cheese into a bowl. Heat the remaining cream and butter in a saucepan until boiling, then pour over the cheese and beat until smooth. Add the egg yolks , cornflour, lemon zest and vanilla, and beat well. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with the remaining sugar until very thick and able to hold stiff peaks - use an electric whisk. Fold this into the cheese mixture until smooth, then scrape on to the pastry base and smooth the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until wobbly and barely set. Carefully remove from the oven and leave to cool at room temperature before chilling.
