Recipe Description

This elegant cheesecake combines the flavors of ripe bananas, juicy blueberries, and toasted almonds. The creamy cheesecake filling is baked in a buttery crust for a decadent dessert.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup almond flour

For the Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

Make the Crust:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, butter, powdered sugar, and almond flour.
  2. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  4. Press the dough into a 9-inch springform pan.
  5. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
  6. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  7. Let cool completely.

Make the Filling:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the flour and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in the mashed bananas and blueberries.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  6. Place the springform pan in a water bath (wrap the bottom of the pan in foil to prevent water from seeping in).
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set.
  8. Let cool completely before removing from the springform pan and refrigerating.

Tips

  • For a richer flavor, use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream.
  • To prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom, toss them in a tablespoon of flour before adding to the filling.
  • Serve the cheesecake chilled with fresh berries or whipped cream.

Put the flour in a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and a large pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, pour in 175ml warm water and the oil and bring together with a wooden spoon to make a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-8 mins until smooth. Divide the dough into four balls and arrange on a floured tray, well spaced apart. Cover with a tea towel and set aside for about 40 mins-1 hr until doubled in size.

Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8 and put a baking tray in the oven to heat up. Roll the dough balls out on a floured surface into long baguette sticks about 22-25cm long, place on the hot tray and bake for 10-12 mins until puffed up and golden, then leave to cool. Can be made a few hours ahead of baking.

To assemble, split the bread down one side and neatly layer in the tomato, ham, mozzarella and rocket, if using. Mix the pesto with the olive oil, drizzle over, halve and serve.

Healthy Easter Bunny Pancakes | The Cook Book

Put both the flours into a large bowl and whisk them to break up any clumps. Add the egg yolks and a little of the milk to the flour and whisk to a thick paste. Add the remaining milk, a splash at a time, to loosen the batter.

In a separte bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric whisk until they hold stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter with a spatula, trying to keep as much air in as possible. 

Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Using a dessert or serving spoon, add a large spoon of batter to the pan in a round, for the bunny body. Add a smaller round for the head, two small ovals for feet, and two long thin pancakes for ears. You should be able to get all the bunny components into the pan, or cook them in batches. 

Flip the pancakes after a minute or two, when the edges are set and the bubbles start to pop on the surface. Flip and cook for another min until golden brown on both sides. 

Put the bunny body in the middle of the plate, position the head, ears and feet just overlapping to look like the back of a bunny. Add a banana slice for the tail, and raisins (if using) for the feet pads. 

Repeat with the remaining batter. Decorate with extra chopped fruit, if you like.
