Baked Cheesecake

INGREDIENTS
650 grams full fat cream cheese
175 grams Digestive biscuits
75 grams Butter Melted
175 grams Golden Caster Sugar
100 ml Double Cream
3 Happy Eggs Large sized, beaten
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract Blend (Nielsen-Massey)
2 tsp Orange Zest Finely grated

Additional Ingredients
300 grams Raspberries
3 tbsp Golden Granulated Sugar

METHOD
1. Remove the soft cheese from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to get to room temperature.

2. Preheat the oven to 150C, fan 140C, gas 2.

3. Crush the biscuits to fine crumbs either by whizzing in a food processor or put them into a polythene bag and bashing them with a rolling pin.

4. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the melted butter. Spoon this mixture into the base of a 20cm (8in) spring form tin, pressing the biscuit well into the base.

5. Spoon the soft cheese into a large bowl and beat well to soften it. Add the Billington’s golden caster sugar, double cream, eggs, vanilla extract and orange zest.

6. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Pour this mixture over the top of the biscuit base.

7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes then turn off the heat and allow to finish cooking in the heat of the oven. (The cheesecake will still be quite wobbly at this stage).

8. Carefully remove from the oven and chill overnight or at least 4 hours.

9. To make the raspberry sauce, tip the frozen berries straight into a saucepan and sprinkle over the golden granulated sugar.

10. Stir well over a high heat until the fruit has softened and the juices are beginning to bubble. Remove from the heat then push through a sieve to remove the seeds catching the juice in a bowl.

11. Allow to cool then have a taste, as you may need to add more sugar. The sauce should be tangy but not over sweet or too sour.

12. To serve, cut the cheesecake into wedges and drizzle over a little of the sauce.

Blowing kisses @wifey odunnu , asking her where she hid hubby?

[quote author=Missy_B link=topic=880530.msg10280020#msg10280020 date=1330294359]Interesting.
Do you just fry the rice or you just boil or you boil and fry?
Could you prepare this sometime and show us a photo?
Can we get a detailed recipe, please?[/quote]No you can't, husbandssssssss snatcher
_{Secretly blowing her kisses}

Acidosis:
^ ^ There is a method that doesn't require frying of vegetables, you only fry the rice and meat. Its richer, easier and better but some people would prefer the frying type because they're used to preparing it that way. You only need to slice the vegetable and then add with fried rice few minutes before it get dried. You don't par boil the rice, just wash thoroughly* with salt. .

Lol I get your gist, I think that is guinea fried rice cause that is the way the Ecuatorial guinea prepare their fried rice
I can prepare it that way or the normal way as well
There is also the type that doesn't involve vegatable
In this case the rice is fried with vegatable oil, then the ingredients are added to it, stir for some mins making sure it does not get burnt
after few mins of stirring, you add water to it, half way u add your fried meat to it and voila you get your guinea fried rice
But i must say if done well it taste really delicious.

I hate maths because the motivation to engage in it is not there
While those who r good at it take Mins to solve/understand a particular question, it takes me hours to work it out.
But against all odds I always push myself to the limit to make sure I pass it.

4OK bros nor try am ooo

I gave you substantial reasons to why I own a BB and you said NA WASH

Stop generalizing, where there is disadvantage, advantage also precede it

I DARE SOMEONE TO ADD SOMETHING MEANINGFUL TO MY LIST

I use it in class to read article for my course
I search for meaning to words that are new to me
I get instant message on when I need to be at work (student ambassador)
I receive/send instant mails pertaining to important stuffs from uni/work
I travel world wide (News)
Keeps me closer to my friends/families
I hardly spend much cash recharging my phone

I can go on and on sweetie. BB is just like many other phones and if a person tend to pick a blackberry for reasons (either useless or useful reasons) best known to him/her that's their choice.

Dancing in a very sexy provocative way

victorazy:
A woman beating man? There is no trace of God in her at all, can u beat ur master? Or is it because God decided to make u two litle bit equal?

Lmao. . . If a man can beat up a woman why can't a woman beat up a man?

Don't get the pastor's gist
so to him its either the wife go n*ked or boba and wrapper?

blank:
I don't mean 2 sound uncaring. But is it not better for these women to be genuinely happy for those women and surround themselves with children so that they can attract their own? Being spiteful n mean will not create the right atmosphere for the baby to form.

Its easier said than done dear
probably these women tried being nice and carrying a smiling face all around and when they r around kids
but it gets to a certain stage that the anger can't be contained or sealed anymore, all that is left is to let it out

sad sad sad!!!

The part where he tried to cut off his willy was quite shocking to me when I read it on paper this morning

In as much as it hurts the parents to see their young child turning into something he is not but i think it will hurt them more knowing fully well the child is unhappy. So I think they are doing the best they could for the child with the hope he will grow out of it.

My goodness
what is this?

As long as the cash keeps flowing in

5 years in a loveless relationship . Men/women don finish on earth?

davidylan:
dont really agree with this. The flame diminishes because you want it to. Men should learn how to give their women super satisfaction, your woman will never leave your pants alone trust me.

hehe
Nah!! I never said the s*x life diminishes, my point is I love the fact that I don't get to see my man for a lil period of time or partially abstaining from s*x when he is around
It creates some form of sparkling classic hard on adrenaline mad s*x drive for me and the zeal to devour him till he screams
but with constant farking, Nna it will just be plain romantic and the fire might be between 50 - 60%

@OP
Nah I don't think I can stand my husband being around just on weekends except there are concrete reasons why he should be away during the week
But on the other hand it could be of use if you want to increase the sex flame in the relationship
There is something special about couples staying away from each other for some period of time then rekindle it with hot s*x

davidylan:
boring.
1. Your wife shld be ur partner not a weekend roomie
2. Would you be ok being apart from your babies that long? I cant.
3. S[i]e[/i]x is a must every night.

Every what? She faints
In this case your wife will opt to the weekend husband thingy

Na which kind plastered smile be that?

Traditional wedding does it for me anytime anyday
