Blackcurrant cheesecake ice-cream cake
Delicious frozen cheescake made with jelly (jello) - you can choose any flavour you like, I made this one with blackcurrant and one with cherry jelly last week. I made the base from a simple cupcake recipe, can't wait to experiment with different flavours!
Ingredients
for the base:
130g unsalted butter
100g granulated sugar
2 eggs
96g plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablesoons of milk
a medium sized spring form pan (like this), greased with butter
for the cheescake:
300g cream cheese
300ml whipped cream
1 packet of concentrated jelly
200g granulated sugar
Instructions:
- start by making the cupcake base
- in a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar
-add the eggs, one at a time and mix until fully incorporated
- sift together the flour and baking powder and add to the wet ingredients
- add the milk and stir untill all is fully mixed
- bake in 190 C (374 F) for around 25 minutes
- while the cake cools, whip the cream cheese with sugar in a large bowl
- in a microwave, melt the concentrated jelly on a high power for around 30 seconds
- quickly add around 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese to the liquid jelly and stir until dissolved
- add the whipped cream to the cheese and keep adding the jelly mixture, one tablesoon at a time
- gently mix all the ingredients untill the jelly is fully incorporated
- cut out a slightly smaller circle from the baked cupcake base ( I covered it with a round lid and cut off the edges with a knife)
-place the smaller cake back in a springform pan (cleaned) and cover with the cheescake mixture, filling the gaps on the edges first
- place in the freezer for around 2 hours
Enjoy)
