Coronation White Chocolate Cheesecake
Recipe by : Humdingers Catering www . humdingers . org . uk
Serves : 12 Ingredients :
For the base :
• 200g digestive biscuits
• 100g unsalted butter
Cream filling :
• 300g white chocolate
• 450g cream cheese
• 450g double cream
• 1.5 tsp vanilla essence
For decoration :
• Blueberries
• Raspberries or strawberries ( or both )
• 50g double cream whipped and put into piping bag
Method :
1 . Crush the digestive biscuits and after melting the butter , mix to a breadcrumb consistency before pressing into the base of a lined 8-inch spring-form tin .
2 . Melt the white chocolate using a Perspex bowl with hot water beneath it , or in the microwave .
4 . In another bowl , semi-whip the double cream into soft peaks .
5 . Fold the white chocolate into the cream cheese , then fold in the cream followed by the vanilla essence . You can also fold in some chopped up raspberries to add a fruity texture .
6 . Gently spoon the mixture on top of the biscuit base and spread evenly to even out the top .
7 . Put into the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours , ideally overnight .
8 . Once set , carefully remove from the tin and place onto a serving plate or disk and use the piping bag and fruit to create a Union Jack on the face of the cheesecake . A great tip for this is to first apply a cross made from raspberries and outlined with piped cream , and then repeat with the diagonal lines before filling in the empty spaces with blueberries . If piping isn ’ t your forte , feel free to use mini white marshmallows or mini meringues instead !
3 . In a separate bowl , beat the cream cheese into a smooth and creamy consistency .
