have a guess at how much a ginger and white chocolate cheesecake has cost me to make from scratch...

[shoppingbagsundereyes]

WIll serve 10 so is a monster of a cheesecake. White choc, philadelphia, stem ginger, ricotta, ginger biscuits, decorated with pomegranate seeds and white chocolate curls.
Is the dessert for my Mum's mother's day lunch tomorrow.

£7.50

17 pounds?

£20

£30

Sounds delish though.

£30

£20

£16!! I was really shocked, thank goodness it wasn't £30. Only noticed the cost as I added the cheesecake ingredients to my ocado delivery later so saw the difference between the two totals. Everybody had better savour it and make the right noises :)

£10?

£17.28

x-posted!

It will be yummy if you leave the ginger out :)

Blimey it sounds awesome

It's scary isn't it! I once made an amazing white choc and raspberry torte/cheesecake thing and it cost a fortune! Especially as I used good white choc! Enjoy sounds amazing!

It sounds awesome if you swap White chocolate for dark

I do a white choc and raspberry one that used to be £10 to make to serve ten. That was when food was still cheapish though haven't done it for ages, bet it would be about £15/£16 now. Hope they all enjoy!

You could get most of the ingredients from aldi and it would be cheaper (most, not all).

I googled similar and costed it at £10 with the amounts needed.
I could do that a lot cheaper! Supermarket own brand cheese, white chocolate - try cheaper but good again aldi is good for cooking chocolate I also use sainbos value chocolate for cooking at 35p 100g and its very good for cakes. Ginger nuts again own brand. Dried ginger/flour are store cupbd.

I would subsitute some of the cream cheese for natural greek set yogurt and cream (I use 100g ish)

Rather luxury recipe with pomegranate seeds and ricotta!! I would rather use frozen fruit as a topping. Left over stem ginger can be used for lots of lovely cakes.

I also made a cheesecake for lunch today. 18cm served 8. I would say £5.

It's ridiculous isn't it. Bought ingredients to make pizza from scratch not so long ago and it came to about the same - I could've got a couple of pizzas delivered for that!

Homemade is delicious though. Now I only make them if we have leftover cold meats or roasted veg or something to put on them, and don't use much cheese.

Your cheesecake sounds yum but I'd leave out the ginger if it was me
