Biscoff Lime Cheesecake

Image 1 Comment 04/07/2021 the wee caledonian cook

Do you like Biscoff? Do you love Lime? If the answer is yes, you will absolutely love this.

With the weather being so warm and lovely lately, there is nothing more refreshing than a cool tangy cheesecake! This one, I wanted it to be a mix of tangy and refreshing but light and creamy too and I am happy to write that it was just that. I was so impressed with how this turned out.

The cheesecake is firm enough to hold its shape, but still super creamy and melt-in-your-mouth velvety. The tanginess of the lime and cheese coupled with the delicate sweetness of the white chocolate complement each other so well. The Biscoff crust adds a good crunch to the experience in your mouth. This is now on my favourite dessert list.

For the Crust

1 packet of Biscoff Biscuits (250g) – (If you don’t like Biscoff, you can use Digestives)

2 Tbsp Butter , melted

For the Lime Layer

1 packet of Lime Jelly (I used Hartley’s – my personal favourite)

100ml Boiling water

1 small tub Greek Yoghurt (80-100g)

200ml Whipping Cream

For the Cheesecake Layer

80g Unsalted Butter

120g Icing Sugar

200g Cream Cheese (I use Philadelphia – no other compares for me)

100ml Whipping Cream

1 tsp Vanilla Essence

Juice of 1 Lime

For the Topping:-

Zest of 1 Lime

100-200g White Chocolate Shavings (as much as you want really)

Method:-

Blitz the biscuits in a processor, so they resemble fine crumbs. Tip into a bowl and pour over the melted butter and mix through until all moist. Press into a 9 x 13 x 2″ springform tin and place in the freezer while you make the next layer.
In a large bowl dissolve the Jelly with the boiling water, allow to cool slightly.
Whisk up the whipping cream until light and fluffy. Whisk into the Jelly the Greek Yoghurt and fold in your whipped cream. Pour on top of the biscuit layer and place in the freezer to set. (about 45-60 mins)
Meanwhile, make your cheesecake topping, Beat together the butter, icing sugar, cream cheese, lime juice, 1/2 the lime zest and vanilla essence. Whip up your cream and fold into mixture.
Smooth over the Jelly layer once set and place back in the freezer for a further 30 mins to firm. Transfer to the fridge and allow to fully set overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle the white chocolate shavings over the top and the lime zest to finish.
Slice and Enjoy!

Crazy Custard Pancakes

Image Leave a comment 22/02/2021 the wee caledonian cook

OMG! Well, what can I say here…..but, these were absolutely delicious!

We were watching a film the other night and the little boy in the film asked for crazy custard pancakes, I had never heard of this before and my curiosity got the better of me……so off I went google search in motion and I found this recipe from Simon Hopkinson (http://www.simonhopkinson.tv/recipe/5/custard-pancakes.aspx). I changed it slightly and cheated with my custard to make it easier to make.

BEWARE! ever so moreish!

You have to try these, especially if you love custard and have a sweet tooth.

This recipe made 6 pancakes

For the Pancakes:

100g Plain Flour

3 Large Eggs (1 for wash)

Pinch Salt

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

100ml Milk

For the Custard:

2 Tbsp Custard Powder

2 Tbsp Caster Sugar

450ml Milk

1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

For assembling:

1 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp Sugar

A Little Rum (about 50ml)

To make the batter:- Sift flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle, crack 2 eggs in and add pinch of salt. Whisk together until it becomes stiff, then start slowly adding the milk and whisk through until well combined and runny consistancey. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
To make the Custard:- Put the custard powder and sugar in a pan along with 1 Tbsp of milk, 1 Tbsp lemon juice and vanilla extract, mix to a paste. Slowly add the milk little at a time and bring to a gentle boil. Make sure you continue whisking until the custard starts to thicken, this should take about 4-5 minutes. You want it quite thick.
Remove custard from heat and allow to cool. Place a piece of cling film over the custard, pressing down on the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours.
To assemble:- When ready, heat a little oil in a non stick fry pan about 20cm diameter on medium to high heat, pour a little of the pancake batter into the pan and swirl around to just a thin covering, cook for a minute or 2 then flip over and cook for a further minute, set aside, and repeat with remaining mixture.
Add 1 Tbsp of butter to the pan, place 1-2 Tbsp of custard in the middle of a pancake, brush edges with a little egg wash. Roll up the pancake half way to cover it, not too tight, then tuck in the sides and finish rolling up to seal, it will resemble a spring roll. Place the pancakes in the fry pan sealed side down and cook for a minute or 2, sprinkle some sugar over and turn, so you are cooking all round.
Once pancake rolls are slightly browned, add in the rum and let bubble and glaze all over.
Remove & Serve. We added some maple syrup to serve and it was delicious! (optional)

Banana Custard & Cream Pudding POTs

Image Leave a comment 08/02/2021 the wee caledonian cook

In our house a Sunday is the only day we have a pudding after dinner and as we were having a filling stew today, I opted for something a little lighter. This was not only super tasty but really light and lower in calories as I used low fat versions. If you love banana’s and custard you will like this. It is also so quick to make, just 10 minutes to prepare with 30 minutes chilling time.

Serves 4

2 Bananas (keep a few slices to serve)

1 x 400g Tin of Low Fat Custard

1 x 150ml Double Light Cream

1 Tsp Vanilla Essence

2 Flake’s

Empty custard into a large mixing bowl and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Mash the bananas with a fork and add to the custard, crumble in 1 1/2 of flake and mix through to combine
Add 1 tsp vanilla essence to the cream and whisk up until thick, gently fold cream into the custard mix.
Spoon custard into serving dishes and top with a couple slices of banana and crumbled flake.
Serve immediately.

Note: If you have custard powder, put 2 tbsp of powder and 2 tbsp of caster sugar into a pan, add a little milk and stir to a paste, add the remaining milk (about 400ml) and bring to a gentle boil, stir continually until custard thickens. Remove from heat, place a piece of cling film over custard to prevent a skin forming and allow to cool then proceed as above.

Hazelnut Chocolate Tart

Image Leave a comment 04/08/2019 the wee caledonian cook

I was watching James Martin on Saturday morning and he made a raspberry chocolate tart, we sat there dying to try a bit. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any raspberries so a hazelnut version it was.

I decided to do a hazelnut nut pastry just to add extra flavour.

For the Pastry:-

125g Plain Flour

50g Icing Sugar

50g Crushed Toasted Hazelnuts (plus 10g for decoration)

Pinch of salt

80g Butter, cold, diced

1 egg yolk

For the Filling:-

300ml Double Cream

125ml Whole Milk

200g Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate with at least 40% cocoa solids

2 eggs

50g golden caster sugar

pinch salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

To make the pastry, sift the flour and icing sugar into a food processor, add the hazelnuts and blitz together. Add the butter and pulse briefly until mixture looks like breadcrumbs, don’t overmix. Add the egg yolk and pulse until dough comes together. Shape dough into a flat disc, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Roll the dough out onto a floured surface. Using a loose bottomed tart tin, grease tin then line the tart tin with the pastry pressing into all corners. Trim any loose pastry. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 160 deg. Prick the bottom of the pastry and line with greaseproof paper and baking beans. Bake for 25 minutes, remove the baking paper and beans and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
Remove and trim the edges in line with the tart tin.
Meanwhile, to make the filling, place milk & cream into a pan and bring to just below boiling point, do not boil. Take of heat and stir in the chocolate to melt.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Gradually whisk in the chocolate mix, whisking constantly.
Pour the mixture into the pastry case and bake on a wire rack in the oven for about 25 minutes until the filling has a slight wobble. Remove and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts. Allow to cool in the tin before removing.
Slice to serve. Yummy!

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Baklava

Image 2 Comments 24/06/2019 the wee caledonian cook

I’ve been dying to try this recipe for a long time & it was just as dreamy as I thought. I love peanut butter, so any recipe with it in I simply have to try.

This was so easy and quick to make, just 3 ingredients.

1 packet of Filo Pastry (I only used 8 sheets)

3 tbsp Peanut Butter (I used crunchy but you could use smooth if preferred)

3 tbsp Nutella (got to be Nutella…lol)

Line a baking tray with baking paper and preheat oven to 220 deg
Place 4 filo sheets onto tray and gently spread nutella chocolate over the sheet, lay another 4 sheets of filo over the chocolate spread and then gently spread the peanut butter over.
Gently roll up the filo (not too tight) and bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes.

Slice up and serve.

Chocolate & Ginger Cake

Image Leave a comment 04/02/2018 the wee caledonian cook

I wanted to make a ginger cake but came across this recipe from Mary Berry that added cocoa powder, so I decided to give it a try. As there was only 2 of us I made a mini version. The combination of Chocolate and Ginger is just so moreish!

Serves 4 (double quantities for a 20″ size cake)

100g butter at room temperature

25g Cocoa powder

2 tbsp semi skimmed milk

2 medium eggs

90g self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground ginger

125 g caster sugar

1 tsp stem ginger

For the topping and filling:-

115g icing sugar

60g butter at room temperature

1 tbsp of stem ginger syrup

1 tsp semi skimmed milk

1 tsp of Stem ginger bits for topping.

Grease and line 2 cake tins, I used 2 x 5″ springform tins.
Preheat oven to 160 deg on fan.
Put the cocoa powder into a large, heatproof bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons of boiling water, then add the milk. Mix to make a smooth paste.
Add all the remaining ingredients and mix with an electric whisk for a few minutes, but watch not to over mix as you want it light and fluffy.
Divide the cake mixture evenly between tins and bake in oven for about 25-30 minutes. Then remove and allow to cool in tins for a few minutes before removing to cool completely on a rack.
To make the filling, sift the icing sugar into a bowl, add the stem syrup, milk and butter and whisk with an electric mixer until well blended.
Take 1 of the cakes and if needed trim the top of the cake so you have a flat base then spoon some of the mixture on and smooth with a palette knife. Take the other cake and place on top, then spoon the rest of the mixture and smooth with the palette knife. Finally garnish with the stem ginger pieces.
Serve with a lovely cuppa.

Banoffee Custard Tarts with Toffee Cream

Image 1 Comment 22/05/2016 the wee caledonian cook

This was a recipe I picked up from fellow blogger https://greencookingblog.wordpress.com/ , I just loved the sound of it as I love Banoffee…my ultimate fav! They turned out very tasty indeed, although I think I’ll get deeper trays the next time as I would have loved them to be bigger…lol! I wasn’t sure what to serve with it, I had some cream and toffee left so……yep…voila…toffee cream….and it just went so well.

Makes 12

250g granulated sugar
100g butter
200ml double cream
a pinch of salt
1 ripe banana
1 pack Shortcrust pastry (you can alternatively make your own)
3 egg yolks
300ml milk
1tsp nutmeg

In a medium saucepan, add 200g of the sugar and heat on a medium heat, stirring continuously…..please be patient as this can take about 10 mins but it will start to brown and dissolve. This was after 5 mins. This was after about 8 mins. Then 10 mins….
When all the sugar has dissolved to form a dark brown liquid, add the butter (cut into 5 chunks) and stir rapidly until mixed
Heat for a further 1 minute, and then slowly add 100ml of cream, stirring continuously
Bring the mix to the boil and then remove from the heat, adding the salt and stirring for a couple of minutes until cooler
Allow the caramel to stand for around 15 minutes before placing in the fridge to cool
Take the pastry and roll out so that it is around 1cm in thickness – cut out tart shapes and place these in a muffin tray.
Cover each pastry case with greaseproof paper and add baking beans, or alternatively prick with a fork
Bake the pastry blind for around 10 minutes at 200C/ 180C Fan
Remove the pastry cases from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Then remove the greaseproof paper
Cut the banana into small chunks and divide between the 12 pastry cases. Add 1tsp caramel on top of the banana
In a saucepan, heat the milk until it starts to boil. Whilst doing this, add the egg yolks and remaining 50g of sugar to a bowl and whisk until combined
Slowly add the boiling milk to the egg yolk and sugar, stirring with a whisk continuously
Divide the custard mix between the 12 pastry cases and then sprinkle some nutmeg over the top of each tart
Put in the oven for around 15 minutes – the custard should have browned on the top and started to set
With the left over cream (100ml and toffee (about 2 tbsp), whisk up in a bowl with 1 tsp of vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Serve….oh so yummy!

Homemade Profiteroles

Image Leave a comment 26/03/2016 the wee caledonian cook

I was inspired to try Choux Pastry by a chef called Vivan in Italy, I was on a training course with Kitchen Aid and he demonstrated Choux Pastry in one of their ovens which was amazing. My boyfriend loves Profiteroles so I thought I’d spend an afternoon in the kitchen today as it was rainy outside. My results were pretty good, considering it was my first time but definitely room for improvement.!

Makes 8

FOR THE CHOUX PASTRY

200ml cold water

100g Butter

4 eggs

1 tsp Sugar

FOR THE CREAM FILLING

100ml double cream

FOR THE TOPPING

100g Milk or Dark Chocolate

Bring to the boil water and butter together. Remove from heat.
Add in the sugar and flour and beat until mixture comes away from the sides of the pot.
Once cool, slowly add in beaten eggs, little at a time. It may seem the egg isn’t going to combine with dough but it will. Keep beating in until all egg mixture has been integrated.
Put mixture into a piping bag. I found it difficult to add and hold at the same time, so I used a measure jug to hold the bag while I put mixture in. (remember to fold bottom up or it might come out end).
Slowly pipe onto a baking sheet on a baking tray.
Put into a preheat oven at 220 deg and bake for about 15 mins or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and pierce a tiny hole underside to let steam out and prevent them from sinking, let cool on a wire rack or in fridge.
Meanwhile to make the cream. Empty 100ml cream, 20g icing sugar and 1 tsp vanilla essence into a bowl and whisk until thick and stiff.
Once pastry is cooled, make a small hole on underside and pipe in the cream.
Melt some chocolate and then spread on top of profiteroles, refrigerate to harden.
Serve with some yummy warm melted chocolate.

I found this lovely wee bottle of Edinburgh Gin’s Raspberry Liqueur in the Hopetoun Farm Shop and thought it will go lovely with the bottle of Prosecco I have……..and yes it did, a lovely wee refreshing afternoon drink.

1 bottle Prosecco

1 bottle of Edinburgh Gin’s Raspberry Liqueur

Pour about 2 tbsp of liqueur into Champagne glass, slowly pour in Prosecco and add in 1 raspberry……..Lay back and Enjoy!

EDINBURGH GIN:- Handmade in small batches in the heart of Scotland using Edinburgh Gin and the finest Perthshire raspberries.

This is perfect with soft drinks too, like soda, tonic or lemonade but of your like me it’s always better in a Prosecco or Champagne..! x

Limoncello Sorbet

Image Leave a comment 20/04/2015 the wee caledonian cook

Having visited Italy recently, I’ve grown to love Limoncello, it’s so refreshing on the palate. Decided to try my hand at some sorbet.

Makes approx 10 scoops.

2 cups water

1 1/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup Limoncello

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 large lemons)

1. Combine water, sugar and Limoncello in a pan and bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves (approx 5 mins)

2. Remove from heat and add lemon juice, set aside allowing to completely cool.

3. Strain mixture through a sieve into a freezable container, discarding any solids.

4. After approx 2-3 hours, remove from freezer and stir around, put back into freezer, after 1 more hour, remove and stir again. Return to freezer for 1 more hour or until solid. Should be ready to serve. Lovely and refreshing for those long summer nights.

Option:- you can also add some mint, which is also delicious.
