The recipe I used consisted of:
- 140 g oaty biscuits, crushed
- 30 g low fat spread, melted
- 400 g Philadelphia with Cadbury
- 250 ml light crème fraiche
- 8 g powdered gelatine (about three-quarters of a sachet) dissolved in 60 ml hot water
- 250 g mixed fruits i.e. redcurrants, blackcurrants, blueberries, raspberries lightly crushed or sliced strawberries
The first thing I noticed about this recipe is that, there is indeed an awful lot of Cadbury Philadelphia used, just over two and a half pots of the stuff! The rest seemed okay.
While making the cheesecake, the recipe was easy to follow, and do (except for the gelatine, my reactions are way to slow to mix it quick enough, gelatine making is a skill i am going to have to brush up on).
So having left my creation to set in the fridge, I eventually plucked up the courage to take it out of the tin (dundundun) however, the middle collapsed, so I covered up the collapsed bit with some bananas (I'm sure that's why they put mixed fruit in the recipe, purely to cover up the bit that collapses)
As you can see, it doesn't look too bad for a first attempt (except my blatant lack of artisticness on the placing of the bananas, looks more like a strange fruit jenga). It also doesn't taste too bad either, however this recipe is so sweet. I took about three spoons of this before i had to put my bowl down, it's perfect for people with a sweet tooth though! Also the base didn't stick together very well, so probably the best thing for that would be to use a bit more spread with the biscuits. Enjoy sweet choco philly lovers!
