Mincemeat Cheesecake

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

I improvised cheesecake and it was really good, so I'm writing it down as best I remember.

First I took a shop bought digestive biscuit base because I am the kind of crazy middle class person who does that now. Then I spread mincemeat in the bottom (I use the Delia recipe, see earlier comment). For the topping, mash a tub (the 250g ones) of Philadelphia (other cream cheeses are available) with a cup or so of sugar, stir in some extra thick cream and an egg yolk. Whisk an egg white with the juice of a lemon and more sugar, and fold that in too. Spread the lot over the top of the mincemeat and shove it in the oven (150degC) for half an hour or so.


Enjoy!

I'm really glad it turned out well! I'm only lukewarmly enthusiastic about both, but since you suggested it, the idea of combining them has been sounding better and better. (And yay for all the other baked goods too!)

Well, if you try it and don't like it I'm happy to finish it for you.

The correct way to make a biscuit base involves making your children do it.
