Well Anne youve done it again :) yum.We all love cheesecake thanks chaz xxx

[Anne x]

Yes thanks Chaz but Id leave topping out and stick the after eights in original cheesecake so a bit of contradiction here depends on cals also my friend from Thurso Added spot mint essence or (Creme De Menthe ) to base recipe

i always make my cheesecakes with marscapone its not as cheesey but its still very smooth here goes a recipie just off of the top of my head;

1kg marscapone
170g icing sugar
1 leaf of gelatine (soak in cold water 5 mins)
1/2 lemon juice
250g terrys chocolate orange :grin: or as much as u like, the more u put in the more stiffer it will be
500g hob nobs
150g UNSALTED melted butter
200ml whipped double cream
Chiffinade of fresh mint/peppermint essence/creme de menthe

use a 8inch cake tin and blitz or bash your biscuits and add your melted butter then put that in the fridge, cream marscapone sugar and lemon juice then fold in melted chocolate make sure its cool then fold in cream, heat up lemon juice in the microwave and add your soaked gelatine leaf to the lemon juice dissolve it and add it to the mixture add mint or liquer then put all of that on the base smooth it over and vwala cheesecake

once you have the base to the cheesecake you can add any chocolate flavorings etc etc

pm me to let me know how u got on
