Oreo Cheesecake.

From mojewypieki.com. I was drawn by stunning pictures of the cake, that somebody commented on as being too perfect and photoshopped. Nonsense, great food pictures are essential, I wish mine were equally good. But at least they’re mine. 🙂

For the base I used 75 g of crushed Oreo biscuits and 1 tbsp of melted butter, all blitzed, pressed onto the bottom of my small, round tin and chilled, while I made the filling.  Kitchen Aid has made a lovely mass out of 360g of Philadelphia cheese, 125 ml of double cream, 5 tbsps of sugar, 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk, a tsp each of potato and plain flour and some vanilla paste.  Poured it all onto the base, pushed some quartered Oreos onto it and into the oven in 150 degrees for 50 minutes.

After about 2 hours of leaving the cheesecake in peace I whipped some cream with icing sugar and a squeeze of lemon and decorated the top, plus some extra Oreos and white chocolate hearts. Lovely, sweet, indulgent.
