celebratory cheesecake!

wow guys - i owe you all such a massive thank you as this blog has now surpassed 500 views! and from all around the world - absolutely crazy! so thank you thank you thank you!

as a little treat here is a baked raspberry cheesecake i made the other day. recipe from bbc good food (check out their website - they have so many good recipes!) baked raspberry cheesecake recipe

it's a really simple recipe to make and reasonably inexpensive (you can cut down on costs by using frozen raspberries rather than fresh, also good if you're making it out of season)

you begin by making the buttery biscuit base! (for those who haven't seen the video, especially for any masterchef fans, check this out - buttery biscuit base!)

a really easy way to do this without making extra washing up is to put the biscuits in a food bag then bash away with your rolling pin! although don't get too carried away as the bag could tear. this gets baked in the oven to make it set. then it's on to the cheesecake itself. this is simple but does require quite a lot of elbow grease! unfortunately quite of a few of my photos are refusing to upload ("server returned invalid response") - which is annoying but i'll go with what i have and try and put the rest up later!

making the raspberry sauce topping.

i am a massive fan of raspberries so i always use a lot more than the recipe calls for! both in the cheesecake itself and on top - this sauce is so sweet!

i put the sauce on before removing the tin to minimise the amount that went on the worktop!

nom nom nom!

unfortunately one of the photos that is refusing to upload shows that i wrote '500' on the cheesecake in raspberries - aah the joys of technology!

but i hoped you've enjoyed this - it is one of my favourite recipes. and thanks again for the views!

love,

nen
