Technically yesterday but I was too busy drinking wine and eating cheesecake to post it
Orange Cheesecake
This was so, so close to where I wanted it to be but as I ploughed through a normal - large sized slice that started off at ‘ooh lovely’ I reached a ‘hmm’ point and decided it wasn’t quite sharp enough to contrast all the cream cheese and sugar.
Back in the mists of time Delia Smith published her recipe for Orange Cheesecake and it was a firm family favourite.
A very simple recipe that punched well above it’s weight in the effort for reward category. Then the ‘concentrated fresh frozen’ OJ that was the pivotal ingredient stopped being produced
I’ve wracked my brains and even tried concentrating OJ myself to try and make it again but it’s always paled in comparison. Unable to leave it be I recently found some ingredients that might do the job.
So whilst it wasn’t 100% I am excited that after some tweaking I could at last have a loved favourite back in the menu
Key Lime Pie
The Carnation Sweetened Condensed milk version. Such a simple version and I love the sciencey satisfaction
of the lime juice coagulating the filling.
