My daughter & her family were coming for dinner this afternoon & as she has been abroad for a few weeks asked for a roast dinner. Personally l would have preferred a salad but my wife insisted on cooking roast lamb etc.
I made the cheese cake which was delicious & so easy.
I packet of digestive biscuits.
4 oz of melted butter
2 pots of double cream
2 pots of Mascapone
1Tin of Caramel
Sea salt
I first made the base using a plastic food bag l crunched up the packet of biscuits. When they were finely mashed l added the four ounces of melted butter & pressed it into a serving dish to make the base.
I then whisked the double cream until it thickened, added the Mascapone & the tin of caramel caramel & added some sea salt flakes. Continued to whisk it all together then spooned it into the serving dish & put it in the fridge to set.
Everyone liked it & l told my daughter to take the rest of it home so they could have dessert tomorrow too.

@garymarsh6 Oh shut up and stop making me salivate. I’ve just had a week’s holiday in Sligo and your dessert sounds like it could knock the restaurant desserts I had there out of the park. Home made is always to be preferred.

@garymarsh6 Maybe it's because it's been done too often so it needs a change.

@garymarsh6 I am glad he does not like the biscuits base, because he should not have butter, at least the sponge cake has no butter and I use goat cheese to make our cheesecake.

Haha l don't think so. I like to watch Master chef here in the UK & it is incredible to see their passion & talent but although l am a good cook l do not consider myself excellent.

It is condensed milk in cans that has been boiled. It takes three hours to do that at home but now you can buy it already caramalised.

Mint sauce is the law in the UK it would be morally wrong not to have it.

A pint of double cream which l whisked & it doubles in size & thickens.
Half a kilo of Mascapone
One tin of caramel. It is a tin of condensed milk. If you boil that for 3 hours it turns into beautiful caramel. But you can buy it already caramalised in the tin.
Spread the crushed biscuits into a dish for the base with the melted butter holding it together. Pour on the creamed incredients & let it set in the fridge. No cooking needed at all.

@garymarsh6 Thanks very much for that. I used condensed milk in a chocolate and apricot slice that I make. I'll have to see if I can find the caramel in a tin.

Cheesecake is so good. I rarely make one or have any, because I swear one piece puts on 5 lbs, and it takes forever to chisel offf the 5 lbs! Salted Caramel sounds just delicious.

It's still popular here, not as much as it was but seems especially popular at coffee shops. I tried it and I just mostly like my coffee unflavored, and to taste like coffee only.

Got it now !
I and kids read a lot about various kinds of cheese in early 2021 - the days of Covid lockdowns and restrictions.

It was quite delicious. I only had a small piece so that they could take it home with them tomorrow. It was quite a large one.
