Post subject: Baileys cheesecake Ingredients
* 11g pack powdered gelatine , plus 1 tsp * 175g shortcake biscuits , crushed to crumbs * 85g butter , melted * 250g tub Quark * 250g tub mascarpone * 150ml Baileys cream liqueur * 142ml pot double cream , lightly whipped * 2 eggs * 140g caster sugar FOR THE COFFEE JELLY * 1 heaped tsp powdered gelatine * 150ml strong black coffee * 2 tbsp caster sugar , to sweeten the coffee 1. Measure 5 tbsp cold water in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the gelatine and leave to soak for 5 mins until spongy. Now stand the bowl of gelatine in a pan of gently simmering water and leave until it turns clear. 2. Meanwhile, mix the biscuit crumbs and butter really well, then press on the base of a loose-bottomed 20cm cake tin. Chill. 3. Beat the quark, mascarpone and Baileys together, then stir in the gelatine and fold in the cream. 4. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until thick, pale and foamy, then fold into the cheesecake mixture and pour onto the biscuit base. Chill for 3-4 hrs or until set. 5. For the jelly, sprinkle the gelatine over the coffee, then put the bowl in a pan of gently simmering water until dissolved. Cool the mixture. When cold, carefully spoon the coffee mixture on top of the cheesecake to make a thin layer - don't pour it on or you will disturb the creamy layer. Chill until set. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days. 6. To serve the cheesecake, wrap a hot tea towel round the outside of the tin, then gently ease out the cake. Serve in thin slices. _________________
