Cherry Cheesecake


Ingredients

Directions

Blitz the biscuits in a food processor until beginning to turn to crumbs, then add the sugar and butter and whiz again to make the mixture clump. If using graham cracker crumbs, you can use a bowl and wooden spoon to mix the butter in, with the sugar added.
Press this mixture into a 8-inch springform tin; press a little up the sides to form a slight ridge.
Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
Lightly whip the cream, and then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the biscuit base and smooth with a spatula, put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
When you are ready to serve the cheesecake, un-mold and spread the black cherry spread over the top.

Lemon-Ginger Cheesecake

Ingredients
Crust 
2 cups finely ground gingersnap cookies (about 9 ounces) 
2 tablespoons sugar 
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted 

Filling 
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature 
1 1/4 cups sugar 
4 large eggs, room temperature 
1 cup sour cream 
1/2 cup whipping cream 
1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger 
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger 
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
4 teaspoons grated lemon peel 

Method 
For crust:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Generously butter 10-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Double-wrap outside of pan with heavy-duty foil. Blend ground cookies, sugar, and ginger in processor. Add melted butter and process until moist crumbs form. Press mixture onto bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of prepared pan. Bake until crust sets, about 10 minutes. Cool. Maintain oven temperature. 

For filling:
Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in sugar, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in sour cream and whipping cream, then crystallized ginger, fresh ginger, lemon juice, and lemon peel. 

Pour filling into crust. Place springform pan in large roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into roasting pan to come 1 inch up sides of springform pan. Bake cheesecake until filling is set and golden brown on top (cake will rise slightly above edge of pan), about 1 hour 25 minutes. Turn off oven and prop open oven door with wooden spoon. Let cake stand in oven 1 hour (cake will fall). 

Remove springform pan from water bath. Remove foil and cool cheesecake completely on rack. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated 4 days or frozen up to 2 months. Defrost frozen cake overnight in refrigerator.) Release pan sides from cheesecake. Transfer cheesecake to platter. Arrange lemon slices decoratively around cake and serve.

4 tbsps honey
2 tbsps gelatine powder
2 tbsps water
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1 cup Marie biscuit crumbs
2 tbsps toasted walnuts ( I omitted this as i don't have it at that time)

Crust
120g Marie biscuit(crushed)
3 tbsps melted butter ( I added 1 more tbsp as I noticed they don't hold to the crumbs well enough)JMO

Method
1. To make the crust,mix the marie biscuit crumbs with the melted butter.Press the mixture firmly onto the bottom of the round cake mould.
2. Beat the whipping cream until stiff.Set aside.
3. Mix the gelatine powder with water and mix well.Heat it over a pot of simmering water until the gelatine dissolves.
4. Beat the cream cheese until smooth.Add sugar and beat well.Add honey and vanilla essence.Mix again.Add lemon juice and gelatine solution.Mix well and stir in the whipped cream.
5. Put 1/3 of the cheese filling into the mould over the crust.Sprinkle a generous layer of Marie biscuit crumbs on top.Pour another 1/3 of the cheese filling over the crumbs.Sprinkle another layer of Marie biscuit crumbs over the cheese filling.Pour the remaining cheese filling and Marie biscuit crumbs and top with chopped walnuts.refrigerate until set.Slice and serve.
( I added 1 tbsp of cocoa powder to the last layer of crushed biscuits)

*Tips For Success
The whipping cream should not be too cold.Otherwise ,it may make the gelatine solution lumpy when stirred together.
