Emergency cheesecake


If you find that you are suddenly having a dinner party or the weather is nice and decide to have a barbeque and need something for dessert then this is as easy as it can get. Make it set it in rings and serve it or let it set in the fridge if you have time.
you will need,
About  3 digestive biscuits
and three ginger nut biscuits
30g/1oz butter
85g/3oz strawberries halved or raspberry’s

3tbsp mascarpone, or cream cheese

1tsp caster sugar

A few drops of vanilla

100ml/3½floz double cream

Just start by crushing your biscuits together in a bowl, the more rustic the better. I like to use a mix of biscuits to add another element of flavour. Melt your butter and mix that in to the crushed biscuits and then press it down in to some rings or a cake tin to form the base.
Now in another bowl add your berries, if strawberries chap them up first, mascarpone or cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Work this all together so the berries and the cheese are fully combined together. Then whisk the cream and fold that in to the berries and cheese mix.

Now scoop this on top of the biscuits base and level them off. Then all you have to do is pop them in the fridge till you want them or serve them straight away.
As desserts go you do not get any simpler than this , from beginning to end about 20 minutes   to make, the only way it could be better is not use so many bowls to make it in and save on the washing up.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
