Orkney fudge cheesecake

[philupmaboug]

Does anyone have a receipe for Orkney fudge cheesecake as I absolutely adore the stuff??

Also any advice appreciated, on how to make the base stay together and the filling to become light & fluffy. (my cheesecakes are not brill!!)

Thank you in advance.

[aburns]

finally something i can comment on!!
We owned a pub/restaurant in Orkney & we got the receipe from our head chef!!
Its all in the cream you use!!! Meadowland cream.....
The only place i can get the stuff is the freezer centre in kirkwall i now live outside of inverness & cant get it so when my mum comes down she takes a case!!!
To make the base you gentle heat in a pan crushed digestives with lots of syrup & butter til its stodgy!!!
Lay it in the base of the cake tin put in fridge - then in your big bowl put the nearly whole carton of meadowland cream in it 2 x 200g of philidelphia cheese & start mixing with the electric mixer whilst doing this add a good dunk of caster sugar - then when the mixture starts to thicken start flaking the orkney fudge into it & finish the cake with the fudge flaked ontop for presentation too..... Yummy yum!!
Hopeyou enjoy, i make them for all my home parties & when my friends are having dinner parties too - thornton fudge is also beautiful.. angela x

Thanks Anne x. I eventually got round to making this last weekend. My effort scored 12/10 for taste & moreish-ness but only 2/10 for presentation. That was my own fault entirely. I'd only bought a half-pint of cream so I added a tub of whipped creme-fraiche to the mix to make up the quantity. The cheesecake was therefore slightly soft

I'll give it another go soon with the correct ingredients. Now, does anyone have the number for Scottish Slimmers...?

[Torvaig]

Now Moira, just when did you say you were going to have another go?

[Moira]

If I get it right Torvaig, the second slice is yours - the first slice belongs to me

[Anne x]

Torvaig, Moira, now well that is why my waist has expanded in last few months Moira tut Creme fraiche double cream to order

never you mind was at a BBQ tonight with nice Caitness folk and they brought fruit laced with alcohol for the barbie alcohol a option will post soon really delicious
