Nigella's Peanut Butter Cheesecake

[Gail19]

I was watching Nigella make a gorgeous cheesecake last night, have found the recipe but she was using a red silicone cake pan. Has anyone used one that big before - I've used them for individual cakes but nothing that size. Lots out there on google, just wondering if anyone has recommendations re make etc.

I saw it and didn`t it look like a washing up bowl!!!
Think you might be rather sick if you ate too much of that cheesecake though

I have made this cheesecake. I think it is Nigella at her worst (and I am a fan). Mine was undercooked to be fair but it is very rich and cloying. And the ingredients cost £££s. Think very carefully before you make this - if only for your health!

The springform she used is available on Amazon, just search for silicone springform. It has a ceramic base, supposed to be better heat conductor than the same ones with glass bases.

There's a brilliant recipe for cheesecake in the Come Dine With Me cookbook. (yes, really.) NO cooking required and £££s cheaper than Nigella's...

Oh NO Dorothy - I was planning to make that this weekend (love peanutty salty stuff)

Mmmm, rich and cloying...just the way I like my cheesecake . I guess in that case a little will go a long way and I can make it for the large friends-get together in a couple of weeks time! None of them would mind a few extra calories that day...

Thanks Mimie, I thought I'd found it on Lakeland but it was completely different, that is definitely it. And I agree, rich and cloying is how I'm expecting this to be! Looking forward to trying it out, chocolate, peanut butter & cheesecake - what could possible go wrong?

BessieBoots is that cheesecake one which uses a jelly to set it? I have a lemon one made in that way and it is very nice. It has a ginger biscuit base. Can you tell me what the recipe is called and I can look for it on line or copy the ingredients down in the bookshop.

getorf - can thoroughly recommend humminbird bakery cookbook peanut butter and choc chip cookies

also these look rather good

Nigellas recipes in my opinion are a bit hit and miss. Plus book your slot at the enarest cardiace unit if you eat that cheesecake, (according to the Times)

No, it's one with green and black choc in it. Basically- Make a bisuit base, put in fridge, mix 250g philly, 250g mascarpone, 150g cream, and 2 large melted bars of the large chocolate orange (Mayan I think it's called) green and black's. pour it in the base, fridge overnight. Yum!

Yum. I'm definately trying it!

I really like the sound of this cheesecake but was also put off by the cost of ingredients, when things need 6 eggs and 2 tubs of cheese it really bumps the price up.
