But as this was an 'Eton mess' cheesecake, nobody minded. So easy and was polished off very quickly in our house. For the base, put the crushed biscuits into a bowl with the melted butter and mix together.
To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook eton mess cheesecake using 7 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Eton Mess Cheesecake:
- Make ready 200 g digestive biscuits
- Take 75 g unsalted butter
- Get 60 g icing sugar
- Make ready 300 g cream cheese, at room temperature
- Prepare 250 ml double cream
- Prepare strawberries to decorate
- Make ready 6 meringue nests
It's kind of like a deconstructed pavlova where the ingredients are sort of just tossed together, hence, the "mess". Whisk the double cream and cream cheese to soft peaks. Hull the strawberries, then roughly chop half and quarter the rest. Blitz the chopped berries and icing sugar until smooth, then fold through the cream.
Steps to make Eton Mess Cheesecake:
- Place the biscuits into a food processor & blitz to fine crumbs. Alternatively put them into a zip top bag & bash with a rolling pin. - Melt the butter in a saucepan then take off the heat & allow to cool for 2 minutes. - With the processor running pour in the melted butter & mix until combined (or combine in a large bowl). - Tip the buttery crumbs into a loose bottomed cake tin & spread out evenly with the back of a spoon. - Place in the fridge to set for 2 hours.
- Take 4 of the meringue nests & place into a bowl. Crush them with the end of a rolling pin but not too fine. - Put the cream cheese into a large bowl along with the icing sugar & beat together until smooth. - In another bowl whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. - Fold the cream into the cheese then fold in the crushed meringue.
- Remove the biscuit base from the fridge. - Tip the cream cheese mixture on top of the base & spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon. - Place back in fridge for 1 hour to set.
- After an hour take the cheesecake out of the fridge & decorate with the strawberries & remaining meringue however you like. - Keep in the fridge but remove about 20 minutes before you want to eat it. - Best enjoyed on the day as the meringue stays crunchy but does keep for about 2 days in the fridge.
Layer the strawberry cream into dessert glasses with the quartered berries, crushed meringue nests and crumbled gingernut biscuits and serve. It's a delicious mix of a classic Buttery Biscuit base for the base of the Cheesecake, with a Fresh Strawberry & Philadelphia filling. It has freshly whipped cream on top, with some homemade mini meringue kisses, with even more fresh strawberries, meringues and freeze dried strawberries. I made this Eton Mess cheesecake for a friend's Halloween party and it went down a treat! If you leave out making the meringues, this is a no-bake recipe!
