Hey foodies :] I thought I'd make a thread for people to share their favourite recipes.
Do you have a recipe that's SO incredibly indulgent that you feel spangled just eating it?
Or do you have a recipe that you just really have fun making? Share it here!
Mine is a no bake chocolate cheesecake. I'm a silly head and never measure things out, I just mix things and hope for the best!
To make the base I smash up digestive biscuits until they know who's boss. Then I melt butter and dark chocolate together, and mix it all together until everything's nicely combined. I press the choc-butter-biscuit mix into the bottom of whatever I'm serving the cheesecake in. That goes in the fridge to set.
The filling is really simple but ridiculously delicious. I melt a load of white chocolate with a tiny bit of double cream, it looks curdled at first but just keep mixing until it's smooth. Let it cool as much as possible without allowing it to set. In another bowl whip lots of double cream until stiff. mix a tub or two of softened cream cheese into the cream. When combined mix in your white chocolate creamy stuff with the cream and cream cheese. You can add icing sugar for sweetness but I don't think it's necessary. Put it on top of the base then place in the fridge.
I like to top this with a really thick dark ganache. Melt some dark chocolate with a little cream just like with the white chocolate. when it's smooth gently spread on top of the cheesecake filling.
-Leave it to set overnight, don't worry, you'll already be feeling sick from licking the spoons ;]-
