Ancient Cheese Cake

I’m sure you already know this, but cheese cake is Delicious! In fact cheese cake has been enjoyed for nearly 2,700 years by the ancient Greeks who made a similar dish using goat’s milk. Fortunately recipes have changed over time to accommodate for the worlds sweet tooth, but I’m sure people enjoy it just as much now as they did 2,000 years ago. Family Cakes along with a lot of baker’s make cheese cakes using cream cheese, but ricotta cheese or quark cheese could also be used. Here is our own recipe for you to try……

Ingredients:

Filling:

550 g soft cream cheese

3 eggs

100 g caster sugar

200 g white chocolate (melted)

Crust:

1 kilo crushed digestive biscuits

200g caster sugar

350 g melted butter

Process;

Once all the ingredients are ready you should prepare the crust. All you would need to do is mix the sugar, crushed biscuits and butter together. After the crust ingredients are mixed spread them in a 10 inch cooking pan. Once you have completed the crust you can begin preparing the filling. First you should beat the sugar and cream cheese in a bowl. Then while beating the cream cheese and sugar add the three eggs slowly. After the eggs are mixed in add the white chocolate. Once the filling is complete, pour the mixture into the 10 inch pan and bake it at 150C until the cake is firm. Keep a close eye on it though because if you over cook it the cheese cake will e dry!
