Black Bottom White Chocolate Cheesecake

[CreamPuff63]

This is a very interesting way to cook a cheesecake in the Varoma. Easy and delicious!

Number of People: 6 - 8

Ingredients:
1 pkt Oreo biscuits
70g unsalted butter
200g white chocolate
2 x 250g cream cheese, room temperature
50g caster sugar (raw sugar 3 Secs, Speed 9)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
4 eggs
1 litre water
frozen or fresh cherries or raspberries to serve

Preparation:
1.  Preheat oven 160^oC. Place oreos and butter into TM bowl and blend for 20-30 secs/Speed 8. Press into an 18-20cm round springform pan (no bigger otherwise it won't fit into Varoma) and bake in oven for 10 mins then cool. Wash & dry bowl.
2.  Place chocolate into TM bowl and melt for 3-4 minutes/50^oC/Speed 2.
3.  Add cream cheese, sugar and vanilla paste. Blend together for 30-40 seconds/Speed 7.
4.  Reduce to Speed 4 and add eggs one at a time onto rotating blades through the lid.
5.  When combined, beat thoroughly for 30 Seconds/Speed 9. The mix should resemble a smooth, thick cream without lumps. Pour into biscuit base.
6.  Without washing TM bowl, add 1000g water. Place cheesecake into Varoma tray and set Varoma into position. Steam for 50-60 minutes/Varoma/Speed 2 or until set in the centre.
7.  Allow to cool and then place in the dridge for several hours before serving. Serve with berry coulis (EDC recipe) and extra berries on top to decorate.

My varoma lid forms a drip in the middle. Do you use anything to cover the cake while it's steaming? Or is this a problem only I have (it wouldn't surprise me if it is LOL)?

[CreamPuff63]

can't say I really noticed too much daska as I walk away. I would say that it probably does the same thing being the identical as yours, and that the steam is collecting on the roof of the lid.

CP you clever thing. It looks devine.

[daska]

I have made this tonight, but cant try it until tomorrow because its dessert at our friends house. Hope it looks and tastes as good as yours. Mine also had the ditch from the steam drip but I figure the raspberries will cover that up

Sorry to bump a old precipe but
I was about to make this and lucky before i started i checked my springform tins fit 
But my smallest one is a touch too big and the varoma lid doesn't shut fully
Do i need to use a springform 
I found a smaller round cake tin that fits but it's not very high and isn't a springform
a have a round casserole dish thats twice as high but a touch smaller diameter wise 
Could I used them one of them then a few single serve casserole dishes if there's too much mix to fit the dishes
Or possibly bake it instead with the springform

Not sure what to do I don't really want to buy another spring form (have 3 already) any tips

Thanks
