Come Dine with Us!

So today is the day of LBLC ladies to share their love of food by posing a Come Dine with Us menu! We have decided to split the courses and have the essentials of a dinner party between us. I will be brining the pudding to the party! The starter will be from Karen, the main course from  Keisha and cocktails from Louise. 

I love love love pudding! I could quite happily eat pudding after every meal. It has been a fair challenge for me to select one but I thought I would choose a fairly easy pud that always seems to go down well. Passionfruit and orange cheesecake. This is a family recipe and has never before been seen on the internet (or on paper for that matter!) it has been quite a challenge writing down quantities because for so long it has been a chuck it in the bowl recipe!

You will need:

whisking implement - can be a hand held whist or an electric whisk 

large bowl

spatula to get all of the yummy bits off the side of the dish!

shallow dish, a flan dish is what we usually use

large tea spoon

Ingredients:

1 packet of ginger nut biscuits

2oz butter

1 tub Philadelphia cream cheese

4tbsp icing sugar

330ml cream

2 passionfruits

Rind and juice of 2 oranges

Passionfruit coulis to finish

Method:
Bash up the ginger nut biscuits to a fine crumb
Melt 2oz butter and mix together with the biscuits, spread out and leave to cool in a shallow dish for about an hour
Whisk the cream until stiff peaks form (so you can hold it over your head without anything falling out)
Mix together thr 4tbsp icing sugar, philidelphia cream cheese, rind and juice of 2 oranges and the insides of the passion fruits
Fold the above mixture into the cream and spread on top of the biscuit base
Sprinkle with icing sugar and leave to set for as long as you can resist!
Blob on a bit of passionfruit coulis and enjoy!

    

     Quantities can be easily doubled if desired and just to warn you it is very moreish!
