Pear and white chocolate cheesecake.

A spontaneous creation to finish off the cottage pie dinner. It took me quite a long time to make it, as little Miss Banks was in constant need of attention this afternoon.  Got there in the end.

Simple base, as usual, biscuits and butter, flash baked in the oven. Left to cool. One nice, soft, ripe pear was enough to flavour 4 small cheesecakes, not to overpower them. I cooked it quickly with a splash of water and a gelatine leaf, then blitzed half a container of Philadelphia cheese, some double cream, icing sugar, lemon juice and the pear together.  I should have used a bit more gelatine, maybe another half a leaf, they were not perfectly set.  For the top a strawberry dipped in white chocolate, the remains of which I poured on top of the desserts.  Very pleasant, not too heavy( small amount of cheese). Yum.
