Cheesecake rules

    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:

    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.

    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.

    It needs more ummmpphhh! :pac: have to work on my biscuit to butter ratios.

    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:

    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    I've cut out the middle man, I now solely eat teacakes.

    And a buttery biscuit base.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,054 ✭✭✭SadieSue


    Are nuts allowed in the base? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,745 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭Tarzana2


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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,060 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    No bake > baked cheesecakes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,832 ✭✭✭spottybananas


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 369 ✭✭tradhead


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

    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 :o) 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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,060 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,054 ✭✭✭SadieSue


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles


    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.
