christmas chocolate pudding cheesecake

[diddymoo]

Hi ladies,

have a Christmas in july and thought I would whip up a cheesecake in my tm... except I found this one that's Christmas as well! but as im new to the tm its a little too complicated for me to convert - was wondering if someone would help.

its the chocolate pudding cheesecake from the Cadbury site

what you need

1 cup mixed dried fruit, chopped
 1 cup stout
 1 tablespoon golden syrup

1 cup chocolate biscuit crumbs
 ¼ cup ground toasted almonds
 1 teaspoon cinnamon
 80g butter, melted

500g PHILADELPHIA Block Cream Cheese, softened
 2/3 cup caster sugar
 3 teaspoons gelatine dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water
 100g CADBURY Milk Chocolate Melts, melted and cooled slightly
 1 teaspoon cinnamon, extra
 100g CADBURY White Chocolate Melts, melted and cooled slightly
 1 cup thickened cream, softly whipped

50g CADBURY Dark Chocolate Melts, extra, melted for decoration, optional
 Chopped red glace cherries, for decoration, optional

 

make it
1. PLACE the fruit, stout and golden syrup in a bowl, stir and refrigerate, covered, overnight. Drain and discard liquid.
2. COMBINE biscuit crumbs, almonds, cinnamon and butter and press into the base of a greased and base lined 20cm spring form pan; chill.
3. BEAT the PHILLY and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in the gelatine mixture then divide into 2 bowls. Stir the milk chocolate, extra cinnamon and fruit into 1 bowl and the white chocolate into another. Fold half of the cream into each bowl.
4. POUR the fruit mixture into the prepared base and smooth over with a spatula. Pour over the white chocolate mixture and smooth over. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set.
5. PIPE the extra melted chocolate in the shape of holly leaves onto baking paper and allow to set, then place onto the cheesecake with the cherries to resemble holly leaves and berries. Slice and serve.
 

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, Diddymoo.  I can't help with your conversion, but I am sure there will be someone here who can.

This is only a very rough guide,as I haven't made the cheesecake.I apologize if I've missed anything in writing it up  
Break down each section in a recipe.
Do the clean processes first,so less washing.
Take it slowly.Under process.
Good luck.

Place the dried fruit into the TM bowl turbo/ 1-2 sec ( keep looking don't over process)
Put aside in a bowl add stout and golden syrup.Leave in fridge overnight.
Clean TM bowl.

Place toasted almonds into TM bowl turbo/ until its a fine meal.Put aside.
Place enough biscuits into the TM ( might be trial and error here to make 1 cup) Turbo pulse 4 or 5 times until fine.
Add the butter,cinnamon and almond meal to the TM bowl melt 1 minute/ 50c/ speed 2 or until thoroughly mixed together.( keep adding 30sec until you are happy with it)
Press mixture into your prepared cake tin.Chill
Clean and dry your TM bowl

Dissolve your gelatine( people have different methods for this)

Add the white chocolate melts to your TM bowl, melt 1 minute / 37c/ speed 2 ( or until melted) Scrape into a bowl.
Add the milk chocolate melts to your TM bowl,melt 1 minute/37c/ speed 2 ( or until melted) scrape into another bowl.

Clean and dry your TM bowl.
In your TM bowl add the cream.Insert butterfly and whip at speed/ 3/ MC OFF until barely whipped,it will be thicker underneath.WATCH CAREFULLY!!!! DO'NT WANT BUTTER Scrape out put aside.
Remove butterfly ( no need to wash TM bowl)
Add the Philly and Castor sugar to the bowl and mix 20sec (keep adding 10 sec until mixed) / speed 2
Stir through your cooled gelatine through the mixture.
Divide into 2 bowls.
In one bowl add half the whipped cream,stir in cooled melted milk chocolate,drained fruit and extra cinnamon
In the other bowl add the other half of whipped cream then stir in the melted white chocolate.
Spread the milk chocolate fruit mixture over the chilled base.
Spread the white chocolate mixture over the fruit middle.
Chill.
Decorate as desired.

Oh well done CC, lots of steps to consider in this one and it looks fine to me. I'm sure Diddymoo will appreciate your help.

Diddymoo, give it a go and let us know how you went with it.  Perhaps you could pop over to the Introduce Yourself section on the home page and tell us a bit more about yourself, how long you've had your Thermimix etc.

Thank you soooo much Cornish Cream!!

I tried to convert it using about 4 different thermomix cheesecake recipes and it almost did my head in! I had completely missed the whipping of the cream and was struggling with the order of melting choc and adding cream cheese etc so thank you!!

Am going to make it tomorrow for Sat so fingers crossed (i'm also making some coconut balls just in case!)

Really appreciate you taking the time to do this for me - will let you know how I go!

Judydawn on my way now to the intro section!

Hi ladies,

thought I'd post the pic of the cheesecake in here (Hope it works).  Was really lovely - although pretty rich.... and still quite complicated with loads of steps.. which with a 4yo helper was a lot!
here's the pic

Thanks for all the help - was a winner on the day!

Diddymoo,  CC will be pleased to see you have gone with her suggestions and produced this lovely looking dessert.  I just serve smaller portions if food is rich.
