30 Days/30 Things - Day 21


"A recipe"

I found this trickier than it sounds seeing as I post a lot of recipes however I've picked one that I've attempted with little success but has lots of potential!

This cheesecake was a big fat failure for me one Christmas Eve yet people rave about it. It tasted beautiful but just never set. It was quite expensive to make so I've been put off attempting it again.

If you do try it, let me know!

Bailey's and White Chocolate Cheesecake

Ingredients

8oz digestive biscuits
4oz butter
Topping
400g good quality white chocolate
5tbsps Bailey's Irish Cream

2 tbsps whiskey

500g tub creme fraiche

142ml tub double cream

Method

Take out an 8” or 10” tin. Blitz digestive biscuits to crumbs in processor and add softened butter and blitz again until starting to hold together. Press into tin and put in fridge.


Melt white chocolate in a large bowl. Run the beaters of an electric mixer under boiling water, dry, and slowly dribble alcohol onto melted chocolate, beating all the time. It may looked seized, but keep whisking and it will become smooth and glossy.

Fold in the crème fraîche with a spatula or spoon, whip cream and fold that in too. Pour over base and leave to set in the fridge. Chill overnight.
