Rating
This Millionaire's Shortbread Cheesecake is extremely rich...
Ingredients
- Shortbread
- 775g plain flour
- 525g unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
- 225g caster sugar
- Cheesecake
- 1kg cream cheese
- 3x 397g cans condensed milk
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla
- Caramel
- 300g butter
- 2 x 379g can condensed milk
- 200g golden syrup
- Chocolate
- 400g milk chocolate
- 400g double cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Rub the butter into the flour then stir through the sugar. Knead the dough (it'll be hard at first) until it comes together, then press into a large lined deep sided baking tray. Smooth with a spoon and bake for around 30 - to 40 minutes until biscuity and golden all over.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter, condensed milk and golden syrup in a saucepan, stirring all the time (it can tend to catch). It'll start to thicken up - at this stage take it off the heat. Pour over the biscuit base and leave to set somewhere cold, like a fridge.
- Whip together all the ingredients for the cheesecake. If it looks like the mix is a bit sloppy, add more cream cheese or icing sugar to thicken it up. Pour over the set caramel and leave to set again - this may take a few hours.
- Heat the cream to just below boiling and pour over the chocolate. Stir thoroughly to make a smooth ganache and pour over the set cheesecake.
- Serve in slices.
