Cheesecakes
My
best friends girlfriend, Natalie, is a bit of a
cheesecake fan, so this is something for her. These are
cool because you can have 2 or 3 different desserts
without becoming a bit of a fatster.
You
need - for 6-8:
100g digestive biscuits
25g butter
350g cottage cheese
3 eggs separated
100g caster sugar
1tbsp flour
soft fruits of your choice
4 tbsp double cream
Crush
the biscuits, either in a blender, or wrap them in a tea
towl and batter them with a rolling pin or something.
Mix them with the butter.
Take a tin that you would use to make mince pies in and
grease all of the little indentations. Line them with
tin foil and grease that. Fill the bottom of each with 1/4 of an inch of the crumb
mixture, packed tightly. Bake at 160°C for 10mins.
Into a bowl rub the cottage cheese through a sieve, add
the yolks of the eggs, 3/4 of the sugar,the cream, and
the flour, and mix it up well.
In a different bowl beat the egg whites to the stiff
peaks stage (i.e they stand up like little mountains or
stalagmites if you make them). Fold in the rest of the
sugar with a metal spoon. Then fold the egg whites
mixture into the egg yolks mixture, being as gentle as
possible at all times.
Plop a dollop of mix in each of the cases, and top with
your soft fruit (you can also use, marmalade, jam, lemon
and lime zest, nuts, dried fruits, etc).
Bake in a medium oven, 150 °c, for 20mins. Remove and
allow to cool before removing from trays.
