Project: London Cheesecake
EN
What is the food code for
Valentines day? Chocolate? Cream? Fresh fruit? And lots of heart and other
sappy sprinkles? Those are probably the most seen and used magic key
ingredients for this ‘cheesy’ holiday but for myself I’ve chosen for the
ingredient: cheese (ha). Cream cheese to be exact to create the London
Cheesecake!
Adapted from one of my favourite
kitchen queen Nigella Lawson. She probably motivated me the most in baking
and cooking because her cooking programs are laidback, easy and delicious and
I love her personality a lot as well.
So the
Along with the hand drawn
hearts on top should make your Valentine all mellow with a happy stomach c:

Wat zijn de belangrijke ingrediënten
voor een Valentijn’s snackje? Chocolade? Room? Vers fruit? En veel hart en
andere zoetsappige eetbare versiersels? Dat zijn waarschijnlijk de meest gebruikte
magische ingrediënten, maar voor mezelf heb ik gekozen voor kaas. Roomkaas om
precies te zijn en voor het bakken van de ‘London Cheesecake’!
Recept komt van één van
mijn favoriete keuken koningin Nigella Lawson. Zij heeft me waarschijnlijk het
meest gemotiveerd om aan de slag te gaan in de keuken, want haar
kookprogramma's zijn super relaxt, gemakkelijk en lekker en haar
persoonlijkheid is om van te houden, echtwaar!
Dus, de London Cheesecake.
Wat is er anders aan dan de populaire NY cheesecake dacht ik bij mijzelf toen
ik het recept las. Misschien komt het door het nabakken van de zure room dat
deze cheesecake anders is en smaakt maar ik ben wel met Nigella eens: “it does
finish it off wonderfully!”. Heerlijk romig en smeuïg was hij!
En samen met de zelf
gemaakte hartjes op de cheesecake moet je je Valentijn een glimlach en een
tevreden maag stellen c:

200 gr cream cheese, 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, 55 gr (vanilla) sugar, 1 cap vanilla essence, 1 tsp. lemon juice, 50 gr digestive biscuits (I've used 4x Speculoos biscuits) + 20 melted butter Topping: 125 ml sour cream, 2 tbsp. icing sugar, ½ tbsp. lemon juice + 2 tbsp. icing sugar + a few drop of red/pink food coloring
Since the glaze was runny I actually dabbed the glaze on top.
Once you have created your little hearts, set aside (in the fridge) and let the liquid be absorbed into the sour cream topping. And once it's all absorbed the hearts should look like a water color effect!
Recipe adapted by: Nigella Lawson - London Cheesecake
Making the hearts:
- Mix the half tablespoon + icing sugar + food coloring in a bowl with a spoon until smooth.
- Poor the mixture in a decoration pen or you can also use a toothpick to 'draw' the hearts on the cheesecake. Make sure the cheesecake is completely cooled down!
- Drop a small single drop on top of the cheesecake and form hearts by drawing it with a toothpick. Let the hearts set and absorb into the cheesecake.
Good luck!
You are so talented!! This looks so so delicious. I was interested to see how you made the hearts, lovely idea! x

Wow! Good job on the hearts! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL for a second there I thought you wrote one CUP of vanilla essence and I had to do a double-take to realize you wrote one cap hahaha. Nigella Lawson is also one of my favorites - I love that she doesn't skimp on the goodness in the fatty ingredients ;)
