Cheesecake rules

pragmatic1

Just had some delicious cheesecake and a cup of tea. One of the greatest food combinations known to man.

Anyone that doesn't like cheesecake is essentially a flawed human being and smelly imo.

I find the base to be very greasy. Maybe that's why you need a cup of tea... I think you're on to something! :pac:

Adyx

I don't like tea or cheesecake.

My mum makes amazing cheesecake but I have never enjoyed any cheesecake which I have eaten in a restaurant or bought in a shop.

So I'm not sure where I stand on the issue.

How do you live with yourself. Get some professional help for your own sake.

Is it regular flavour or does she make different variations of the desert perfection that is cheesecake.

Doesn't stand a chance against Banoffee Pie for me.

Buttery base is better than greasy base.

Yuck banana! It doesn't belong in a pie! :pac:

There is nothing better than cheesecake made with quark.

What about a banoffe flavoured cheesecake. You can't get a cheesecake flavoured banoffe pie, therefore cheesecake is the superior dessert.

Cheesecake rules: must contain cheese.

When I make it I tend to leave out the banana :pac: Mainly because the next day they make the pie look a little off.

Nah, wouldn't eat banoffee-flavoured stuff, HAS to be banoffee pie itself or nothing and it has to be freshly made. None of that store-bought muck for champagne charlie here :pac:

I make the base with McVities double chocolate digestives, bind it together with some butter, loadza caramel and loadza cream.

Then effectively die a sweet, tooth-rotting death :pac:

SadieSue

Wow Duggy you'd need at least two cups of tea per 1 slice!

This thread is going off topic when is someone going to list the rest of these cheescake rules?

And a buttery biscuit base.

SadieSue

Are nuts allowed in the base? :pac:

I don't like cheesecake and would never have it in a restaurant. I find it much too rich and cloying.

I make my own one with yoghurt and jelly as well as the cheese and it is fupping amazing, if I do say so myself. Lemon jelly-cheesecake with a gingernut base. Nomnomnom

Most cheesecake is crap stodge. A good one is indeed a great thing.

AndyBoBandy

if your cheesecake isn't oven baked, your wasting everyones time!

Mr. CooL ICE

No bake > baked cheesecakes

spottybananas

Love chilled cheesecakes, wouldn't eat a baked one if you paid me.

Ok cheesecake lovers, I have a very important decision for you to make (for me )

I took a notion a few weeks ago to make Toblerone cheesecake and bought everything I would need, including a buttload of Philadelphia cheese. I then went off the idea (also I ate all the Toblerone ) and now said cheese is nearing its expiry date.

Basically I have to make a cheesecake this weekend for no reason. What flavour is the best and therefore the one that I should make?

Mr. CooL ICE

Buy twice the previous amount of toblerone cheesecake. Eat half of that and use the other half in the cheesecake.

And save a bit for me.

SadieSue

Do you have any berries? You could swirl some in at the end just before you pour it onto the base.

Lemon cheesecake is my favourite!

I'd be the same - a very small amount is delicious but, a bit like white chocolate, too much just makes me feel sick.

It's weird though, because I could eat dark chocolate armageddon until it's dribbling out my ears.

I think the bitterness of very dark chocolate is key. It's the same with cheesecake.

Lemon is a lot more tolerable than strawberry, baileys or what-have-you.

A lot of food that I used to be able to stuff into my face now seem to lack the correct balance of flavours to be palatable.

Banana + dark chocolate = sweet + bitter = good.
rasberry + dark chocolate = bitter + bitter = bad.
white chocolate + rasberry = sweet + bitter = good.

Had a red velvet brownie cheesecake at the weekend.. Only cheesecake ive ever wanted more of!! YUM!

When people say things like this I wonder do they mean all apple tarts or just the ****ty crumbly ones you get from the supermarket with bad shortcrust pastry.

All of them. Homemade, restaurant ones, shop ones. It's just not for me. I keep trying too, it just never gets better.

Make a biscuit base

900g philadelphia
12 eggs
good splash of vanilla essence
100g caster sugar

mix the lot

pour over the base in a 10 inch tin

bake at 165 for 35 minutes

The best new york cheesecake recipe, ever

The first rule of cheesecake is: You do not talk about cheesecake.

The second rule of cheesecake is: You do not talk about cheesecake.

Third rule of cheesecake: Baker overbeats the top, it goes limp, tap out, the cheesecake is over.

Your are correct to love it. There is interesting science behind it.

Cheesecake hits a sweetspot balance of fat and sugar, which we like a lot, is not found in nature, and our sense of having enough does not detect it well.
