I just turned 50 last month. My husband got me a cake. It's "just a cake" but he had to get up early and sneak out of the house and get back before I woke up and left for work, then hide the cake for a day. That's what made it special.
Happy birthday!
See, id be more inclined to make a cake, i have been known to make a damn fine cheesecake, but not one of those 'baked New York cheesecakes', Oh no! im talking about a cheesecake with the biscuit base, it's probably a British thing though as i know American biscuits are different from British biscuits!
Where were you on my birthday??
Btw I just recently had the pleasure of trying the Orange Dreamsicle Cheesecake from Costco and it definitely lives up to the hype. Graham cracker crust though, so you may not be a fan.
Umm, in England!
I Googled Graham cracker crust, apparently the closest thing in the UK is Mcvities digestive biscuits, which is what i use, but it's not baked, just broken into tiny crumbs, mix in melted butter, place mixture in a tin compact it, place in the fridge then add the filling.
But then that's for a plain cheesecake base, i like being creative, chocolate digestive biscuits, Biscoff biscuits are very nice.
Do you not then bake the crust and filling or is it all just done it the fridge? I'd love to have your recipe!
Congratulations on the milestone!
No baking involved, the filling is just..
600g full fat soft cheese. 100g icing sugar. 284ml pot of double cream.
Plus any other bits you fancy, like flakes of chocolate, or grated lemon peel.
I presume you are a fan of cheesecake?
