To show you my cheesecake?

I know I’m not bu reallyGrin I’ve always been a baker but there’s been so many things I’ve never got round to making. Lockdown seemed the perfect time to start experimenting!

Would love to see anything you guys have made too!

Milkybar cheesecake, Mars bar brownies and m&m cookie bars...have been baking every week. Great fun but not so great for my waistline!

@looselipssinkships the spread is amazing isn’t it! I noticed that they do a Cadbury crunchie one too, now that definitely sounds like one I could eat straight out of the jar

I only have light cream cheese. I assume the usual recipes wouldn't work? Making me want cheesecake now.

Avelosa · 10/05/2020 17:12

@AragonsGirl I need those cookie bars

Those are wonderful.

No pix, but I've made apple cakes & a rhubarb/coconut pudding as well as varieties of fairy cakes. When I couldn't get eggs for a couple of weeks, I experimented with using mashed banana or apple sauce in place of an egg - interesting but not perfect!

@kingaroo ideally it needs the fat content of full fat cream cheese to help it set and keep its shape. I tried it once thinking I could make a healthier cheesecake (as if such a thing even existsGrin) but it was just a sloppy mess that wouldn’t set

I had a go at millionaires shortbread, it was delicious and really easy to make.

@AragonsGirl okay well that’s another very unnecessary treat I’m going to have to make now

Very inspired by this thread. Some lovely pictures! yum.

adagio · 10/05/2020 17:20

Omg this thread us making me so hungry! Great work all you bakers :)
We can’t have cheesecake here as my DH hates cheese, so I would have to eat it all (my waistline would not thank me!!)

Doingtheboxerbeat · 10/05/2020 17:21

I think I hate you OP, but it looks amazing.

adviceatthislatestage · 10/05/2020 17:22

Wow, looks fabulous OP.

I made these last week for DHs birthday

It's a Delia Smith recipe from years ago (think was for comic relief) and they're so easy to do- which is all important with my lack of culinary skills!

StoorieHoose · 10/05/2020 17:24

@Avelosa yes whole raspberries. I doubled up on the biacuit base cos it's my favourite bit

DrMadelineMaxwell · 10/05/2020 17:30

Strawberry. Served with fresh strawberries on the side.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 10/05/2020 17:34

I need a good fudge recipe. Or some other recipe to use up condensed milk. DH bought it and we don't like it.

StuckInnTheMiddle · 10/05/2020 17:34

Wow these all look amazing.

@Girliefriendlikespuppies would you kindly post me the recipe for your millionaires please. They look amazing and my dd has asked me to make some for her!

userxx · 10/05/2020 17:38

@adviceatthislatestage What is that? Looks bloody amazing! Very professional 🤓

Avelosa · 10/05/2020 17:38

@StoorieHoose the biscuit base is definitely the best bit! I always make more so I can eat it straight out of the bowl
