Birthday cake alternative request! You’ve given me a fabulous tiramisu and brownie recipe. Can you do the same and hit me with your best cheesecake recipes please? Philadelphia based is best but open to all ideas! Go!

Never fails, but don’t over bake, it’ll go all grainy - it’s okay if it’s a little wibbly when it comes out:

Ingredients:

200g fresh blueberries (optional!)
500g low fat cream cheese
One tin (397g) of condensed milk
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Zest of a lemon
200g Digestive biscuits
50g butter
Crush up your biscuits, either by going at them with a rolling pin or in a food processor until you have small crumbs. Heat the butter in a pan until melted, add your biscuits and mix it together well until you have a sticky mix.

Butter the inside of a cake tin and then press the crumbs into the bottom, trying to keep it as level as possible. Really push down so you have a compact layer for the base of your cake. Pop it in the fridge for at least 20 minutes and pre-heat the oven to 170°c/gas mark 3.

In a large bowl whisk the cream cheese until it’s soft, add the condensed milk, vanilla, eggs and lemon zest and whisk again.

Pour into your cake tin over the base and then scatter the blueberries over the top.

Bake for about an hour. If it’s browning too much too soon put some foil over the top.

That sounds like a good one. Can I use full fat cheese too? Already got tub in...

God I’d assume so! Not sure full fat anything has ever made anything bad!

This one for a white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake was utterly delicious, made it for DD's (11) birthday recently.

And if you have any left over put it in the freezer and it becomes an ice cream cake Grin

I presumed you were asking for Shavuot! (Jewish holiday this weekend, we all eat cheesecake)

This is the one I’ll be making this year:

Happy birthday to whoever the recipient of the birthday cake is!

I want to make them all so far. Any more fruity ones? I made a mandarin one at school (showing age there where ma Darin segments were a fancy decoration) with mandarin yoghurt which was beautiful but not got recipe. Bet it wouldn’t taste nice now...

Holy crap @Berrylin 795 cal per slice wow. I put on weight looking at that recipe Grin. It looks amazing.🤤

Nigella does a black cherry one - the recipe is in one of her books - it is lovely.

Rose Elliot's lemon ginger cheesecake is the easiest peasiest. It's copied all over the Internet, basically ginger biscuit crumb with a whipped cream and condensed milk topping with lemon juice stirred though. No baking, just leave it to set in the fridge. Luvverly!

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 05/06/2019 21:51

Oh I think I’ve made that lemon one actually. I used to have a white chocolste and cherry one too. Goodness knows where they are. They’re all on scribbled bits of paper

It is! Shavuot is one of my favourite holidays so I tend to push the boat out - it’s only once a year after all 😂
