GORDON RAMSAY RECIPES INGREDIENTS: white chocolate cheesecake gordon ramsay

I have been very bad lately. Usually the holidays are when I tend to bake up a storm, but something about the past few weeks has been making me bake more than I usually do! To make matters worse, I started a new rotation at the hospital this week, and I have been coming home exhausted like I usually do during the first week. Tonight I was so tired, all I could manage was a few bites of ice cream and a handful of cheese crackers for dinner. Did I just write that? I know, it is so terrible… Between getting up at the crack of dawn, being too tired to make my lunch and eating at the cafeteria, and being too tired to move off of the couch when I get home, my body is in complete shock. This week I have been eating worse than I do during finals week! I promise, I will get back to healthy cooking and eating after this weekend – I plan to do some major meal planning to make sure I am better prepared for next week!

Last weekend, Fabi and I went to Los Angeles for a friend’s wedding. We could only spend 2 days there, but I got to visit with my family – and yes, there was a lot of cooking and good food involved! My mom showed me how she makes her delicious white chocolate cheesecake. It is always a big hit, and no matter how much we eat there is always room for her cheesecake. The strawberry topping makes it a refreshing dessert for a hot summer day! Here is my strawberry glaze recipe that you can mix with fresh strawberries.

Oh yeah, Happy 4th of July to all of my friends in the US! I know I am a little late… I hope you had a fun day/night yesterday =) We watched fireworks in the city, which was just beautiful! A perfect night…

Ingredients

1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
8 Baker’s white chocolate squares
2 8oz packages of cream cheese
½ cup sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Add chocolate squares to a double boiler, small crockpot, or in a microwave-safe bowl and melt.
Add cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla to a bowl and beat together until just blended.
Add the eggs and mix until just blended. Do not overbeat the batter or this will introduce air bubbles and cause the cheesecake to crack.
Stir in the melted white chocolate by hand using a spatula, then transfer the batter to the pie crust shell.
Bake for 45 minutes, then turn the oven off and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Remove from the oven and cool for another hour.
Top with fresh strawberries or strawberry puree.

Black and White Cheesecake Bars

Author: ANNIE’S NOMS

For the base:
2 sticks + 2tbsp unsalted butter, at room temp
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2⅓ cups all purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1tsp baking soda
For the cheesecake filling:
½ cup, heaping, white chocolate chips
10.5oz full fat cream cheese
⅓ cup icing sugar
1 egg

Instructions

No need to preheat the oven just yet, the base needs to chill. Grease and line a 9 x 13 inch pan.
Make the base
first – place the butter and sugar into a large bowl or the bowl of your
stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes on
med-high speed.
Add in the eggs
and mix until well incorporated. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking
soda together into a medium bowl and stir until well incorporated. Add
the flour mix into the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Reserve a ¼ of the dough and wrap in cling film. Place in the fridge.
With the remaining
¾ of the dough, press it into the baking pan and then place it in the
fridge for 20-30 minutes. During this time preheat the oven to 325F.
Once the base is
chilled, place it in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly
risen and puffy, turn off the oven and allow to cool completely before
making the cheesecake layer.
Once the base is
cooled it’s time to make the cheesecake layer! Preheat the oven to 325F.
Place the white chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl and place over a
small saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted, then leave to one
side to cool briefly.
Place the cream
cheese and icing sugar into a medium sized bowl and beat together until
light and fluffy, add in the egg and mix until well incorporated, about 1
minute on med-high speed. Add in the melted chocolate and mix on low
until well incorporated.
Pour the mixture
all over the base and smooth slightly with a spatula. It doesn’t have to
be perfectly smooth! Take out the reserved ¼ of the dough and crumble
it over the top of the cheesecake layer.
Place in the oven
for 25-35 mins (it took 30 mins in my oven) until the cheesecake is just
set and the crumbled topping is slightly firm to touch.
Leave to cool completely, once cooled place in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing into 12-15 bars.
Bars will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days.
