CHEESECAKE FOR PREGNANT PEOPLE PLS!

[worryinone]

Anyone got a simple cheesecake recipe that you can actually eat when you are pregnant?

You can eat any cheesecake when pregnant! (unless you find one with raw eggs I guess)

I would just go out and buy one that has got pasteurised egg in from Tescos or M & S. Not quite sure if you can easily buy pasteurised egg at the supermarket to use in your own cheesecakes/mayo etc.

I don't think many cheesecakes use egg anyway. DO they?

The "soft cheese" you can't eat whilst pregnant is stuff like brie, camenbert etc not the sort that's in a cheesecake.

no it's not the cheese that's the issue, it's lightly cooked eggs that's the issue soupdragon. So of course if you have a recipe with no egg in then that's no problem anyway.

Nigel Lawson has a lovely lemon cheesecake recipe that is a cooked cheesecake.

As others have said, the soft cheese in cheesecake is fine, it's (generally) pasteurised.

The Nigel recipe involves fairly well-cooked eggs. But you can certainly get some recipes that use no eggs, just cream cheese. You just don't want a baked cheesecake.

I don't think I've ever made a cheesecake with egg in it (although I've actually rarely made cheesecake at all ).

Or try this...

make a digestive biscuit base.
Melt 1 tub marscapone cheese with 1 200g bar plain chocolate. Pour onto base and leave to set. Or snaffle all the chocolate mix hot from the pan and then eat the biscuit base.

Use mascarpone. Lovely.

LOL SD - x posts!

Here . Plenty more on that site.

I'm going to stick my head waaay above the parapet and say that eggs with the red lion stamp come from chickens that have been innoculated against salmonella. And the incidence of salmonella is decreasing. I would certainly avoid raw eggs, and processed food containing raw or lightly cooked eggs but if I had cooked it myself, I ate lightly cooked eggs in things like quiches and as poached eggs on toast etc once I was past the first couple of months. My sil (who is older than my dh by 18 years) has pointed out that when she was pregnant there was no advice to avoid all these foodstuffs. So I would say be sensible but I don't think there's any need to become too paranoid.

Thanks for the advice everyone - that's great!! Just sent dh to tesco to have a gander and gonna try making my own at weekend!

you cant eat cheesecake ?

Malory- jelly in a cheesecake? Tell me more please sounds delish!

The tesco value vanilla cheescake is wonderful and i wish i had found it in pregnancy. One of the best new york cheesecakes around.

value brands of cheesecake are always brilliant.

There's a plain cheesecake in a supermarket in western australia, think in 'action' it's like less than a dollar and divine...

this recipe is delicious..

gingersnap biscuits and butter for base. for topping, beat up a tall dbl cream, add small tin of condensed cream and the juice of three lemons.

delightful.

MMmm. I'm adding this one to my watch list. Just bought a springform baking dish. Time to make some cheesecake.
