I love cheesecake, so much so that for my wedding I ditched the traditional cake and went for cheesecake instead. So when I found out the theme for Sunday Supper was going to be Cheese, Cake and Cheesecake I knew I wanted to share a cheesecake recipe. My sister-in-law had given me a challenge a while ago to feature more pudding (what we call dessert in the UK) ideas that were quick to make. Most cheesecakes that I had made in the past took a lot of time and effort so I set about trying to find a recipe that would give that amazing taste without the work. I discovered this recipe from the Good Food Channel’s website and I noticed an ingredient that I hadn’t heard of before, Mascarpone.
Mascarpone is technically not a cheese it is a sort of Italian version of France’s crème fraîche, or a smoother, milder take on Britain’s clotted cream. I learned that mascarpone is actually the proper cream cheese for tiramisu, and as I have discovered it is incredible for cheesecake. After trying it in this dish I can’t wait to experiment with some of my cooked cheesecake recipes. I might not go back to using cream cheese to be honest.
This recipe satisfied both my requirements for a quick dessert and the my love of cheesecake, and it was like summer in your mouth. This will definitely be a yearly strawberry tradition for us. Don’t forget to check out the amazing recipes that everyone else is serving up.
Individual Strawberry and White Chocolate Cheesecakes
100g (3 oz) digestive biscuits
300g(10.5oz) strawberries
500g (16 oz) mascarpone
4 Tbsp icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
100g (3.5 oz) white chocolate, roughly chopped (make sure it isn’t cooking chocolate)
adapted from Good Food Channel
Place the biscuits into a food processor or I added the biscuits to my mortar and pestles, much easier to clean up.
Melt the butter in a small pan over a medium heat. Turn off the heat and tip the biscuits into the pan with the melted butter and mix well to combine.
Divide the biscuit mixture between 6 large ramekins or bowls (about 1cm layer of biscuit in each), pressing down well. Allow to chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Chop up the strawberries into quarters, set aside. Combine the mascarpone, icing sugar, vanilla extract and the white chocolate.
Spoon the mascarpone top of the biscuit bases, leveling off the surfaces.
Spoon the strawberries over and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
