This week we are shining our member spotlight on Anne Morris.
Anne is a ThermoFun Club Member and shared with us her conversion of a Nestle Chocolate Cookbook Cheesecake that she entered (and won) for the January ThermoFun Challenge of 'Cooking your Favourite Summer Dessert'. This Thermomix White Chocolate & Raspberry Cheesecake is truly divine and topped with the EDC Berry Coulis just gives it that little bit of punch!

Hi everyone, made this again tonight for a Christmas party get together tomorrow. I reduced the thickened cream to 150 ml and just added it to the cream cheese mixture without whipping it first. My mixture was a little runny but have checked it since putting in the fridge and it is setting firmly. If your mixture is extra runny just add another 1/2 tablespoon of gelatine so cheesecake is firmer once set.
I loved the idea of using mixed berries for a brighter colour so tried this - thanks for the suggestion. I've been making this cheesecake over many years at Christmas time and everyone loves it.
Haylee says
I made this yesterday for an early family Christmas lunch and OH MY GOD! It was amazing! I used mixed berries instead of just raspberries and the colour was just sensational. It looked amazing, and tasted even better. Everyone was very impressed and I've been asked by several people for the recipe.

Great to hear Haylee! Love the idea of the mixed berries too! :)

Thanks for the inspiration! I have just made a double batch, whipped the cream in the mixer & blended the filling in. Used 2 packets of nice biscuits & filled 2 Tupperware slice containers & a small flan. Scattered raspberries in the base & will make coulis to serve. Also added a touch more gelatine.
It is always worth checking the use by date of gelatine as it loses its setting properties with age.
Larina says
This did not work for me at all. Followed all the steps and it turned out to be a runny mixture. What am I doing wrong?
thermofun says
Hi Larina, As I haven't made this one yet, I have contacted Anne to ask if she has had this problem. So when I hear back I will let you know. Thanks
thermofun says
Larina I have just heard back from Anne her comments are:
"Hi Leonie,
I have been thinking about what could have gone wrong with the cheesecake. I usually use thickened cream not pouring cream that may have made it runny. The recipe also says to whip the cream before folding it into the cheesecake mixture, I never do this as it always turns out ok - maybe because I use thickened cream. I hope that this suggestion may help - only other thing I can think of is increasing the gelatine to 1&1/2 tablespoons.
Cheers
Anne"
