I knew today was going to be a good day! White chocolate and cheesecake are both excellent in my books. We have a friend staying with us for a week so it seemed like a nice idea to make a big home cooked dinner and dessert. After a quick Google I settled on this recipe (mainly because it said it would only take 15 minutes, spoilers: it lied) and got to work:
First I made the buttery biscuit base (link) using malted milks, one of the most underrated biscuits in my honest opinion.
We then pushed it into the bottoms of the moulds (which may or may not be old Gü cheesecake containers).
I whisked together the creamy ingredients and then (while I licked the whisk) put it on top of the biscuit mix.
Then blobbed strawberry jam in top and put in some sliced strawberries. The corner store didn't have raspberries but that wasn't a problem as far as I was concerned.
Look how nice they are!
So at this point I had white chocolate cheesecakes but the next instruction was 'Refrigerate for a minimum of four hours.' The recipe said 15 minutes at the top so I hadn't considered chilling time. They were pretty soft so I decided to listen and bunged them in the freezer for an hour as a compromise. I wasn’t intending to take them out of the dishes other than to eat them so I figured they didn’t need to be as firm.
An hour later we ate them and they were good!
White chocolate cheesecake day… 9/10 there's other flavours of cheesecake I'd pick over white chocolate but the fact that this was a slightly obscure flavour meant I had to make it myself which was fun and I hadn't done in years.
