Broken Biscuit Cakes

March 22, 2011 By Delia

If you’re like me, you’ll hate it when a packet of Biscuits has broken ones in them. But, if you have this recipe to hand, you’ll always have a tasty treat to hand. They’ll last in a fridge for a week, or in the freezer for up to three weeks, so that you’ll still get the same quality taste and textures.

Broken Biscuit Cakes

So simple and easy, it’s a great dish to make if you’ve got kids nearby to keep the occupied. If you prefer, use all Milk or Plain Chocolate, and other biscuits instead of Digestives used in this recipe.

To make 40 Squares
200g Dark Chocolate, minimum 60% cocoa solids
100g Milk Chocolate
3tbsp Golden Syrup
300g Unsalted Butter
300g Digestive Biscuits
75g Glace Cherries, quartered
50g Sultanas
100g Flaked Almonds, toasted

1. Break the Chocolate into pieces, and place into a large bowl of Golden Syrup and the Butter, then stand over a pan of simmering water – make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the Water though! Leave until the Chocolate has melted, stirring frequently.
2. Remove the bowl from the heat. Place the Biscuits into a large bowl, then break into pieces with a Rolling Pin. Add to the Chocolate, along with the Cherries, Sultanas and Almonds, then stir well until mixed evenly.
3. Line a shallow roasting tin with clingfilm, then pour the mixture in, and level at the top. Chill for at least two hours before cutting into squares, then storing until you need or want them!

Lime Cheesecake

February 1, 2011 By Delia

Fresh, fruity and full of flavour – there can’t be many more words to describe how amazing this Cheesecake is beginning with the letter ‘f’!

Lime Cheesecake

To Serve 2
30g Butter
30g Dark Chocolate
90g Digestive Biscuits, crushed
Rind of 1 Lime
90g Curd Cheese
90g Low Fat Soft Cheese
1 tsp Powdered Gelatine
1tbsp Lime Juice
1 Egg Yolk
45g Caster Sugar

1. Grease a two small (around eleven centimetres across) or one medium (about eighteen or twenty centimetres across) flan tins very well.
2. Melt the Butter and Dark Chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water – tip: Make sure that the bowl isn’t in contact with the Water – until smooth and well combined. Slowly mix in the Crushed Digestive Biscuits, before evenly spreading them across the base of the Flan Tins evenly, levelling the tops of them. Place the Flan Dishes in a refrigerator and chill until well set.
3. To make the filling, mix the Curd Cheese and the Low Fat Soft Cheese with the Lime Rind, and beat well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended. Dissolve the Gelatine in the Lime Juice in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water.
4. Beat the Egg Yolk and Sugar together, until thick and creamy. Mix it into the Cheeses, before mixing in the Gelatine and Lime Juice. Pour over the set Biscuit base, and level the top off if needed.

To Serve, top the Flan with some Whipped Cream, slices of Kiwi Fruit and a Sprig of Mint. Carefully remove from the Flan Tin (or tins), and enjoy!
