opas Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I do not have a specific recipe....but when I have made them here I have bought a soft mild goats cheese and mixed with a mascepone to taste, I personaly like it with a bit of tartness.Mrs O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I always use Mascapone cheese mixed with citrus rind,juice and a tablespoon of icing sugar on top of a base made from Speculoos or Bastogne crushed buiscuits stirred into melted butter and then pressed down in a dish.

Patf Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I made one recently with creme fraiche and thick cream, from Champion. 250 grammes of each, mixed with the rind and juice of a lemon,1 oz ground almonds,2 egg yolks,2 oz sugar, 2level tbsp cornflour, all mixed together. whisk egg whites until stiff and fold into mixture. pour onto your chosen base and bake at gas 4 electric 180c for 30-40 minutes. It worked well. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backleee Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hi - just a quick reply. My wife's made loads of cheesecakes here with cream cheese from Lidl - so it's cheap - under a Euro per 200g pot - called "Creme Goldessa - Pur" or Nature. In a blue and white tub, it's a mixture of cream, cheese and yoghurt very similar to the own-brand Phildelphias from the UK.She also adds *powdered or leaf gelatine - both easily available in the Hypers or supermarkets (brand "Vahiné" - powdered).Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxime Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 thanks chris. Silly question, do i find gelatine where the cake and desert ingredients are? I have never bought it before. I shop at lidls so will try that out, thanks ever so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backleee Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yeah, we find gelatine in the aisle with cake decorations, food colouring, birthday candles - that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
