Malteser cheesecake

My husband's favourite naughty delight is maltesers. So it was only fitting that for his birthday, I wanted to make a malteser-based dessert.

With a box of maltesers and cream cheese in the fridge, I settled on a malteser cheesecake made with a dash of yoghurt for tang.



Ingredients:
Base:
  • ½ pack of digestive biscuits
  • 100g maltesers
  • 100g butter
Filling:
  • 250g cream cheese, room temperature
  • 80g Greek yoghurt
  • ¾ cup icing sugar, sifted
  • ½ cup double cream
  • 100g maltesers, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon malteser spread
  • Extra maltesers to serve



Method:
  • Crush the digestives and matlesers in a food processor
  • Melt the butter and add to the crushed biscuit mix
  • Push into a greased spring form cheesecake tin around 15cm in diameter until evenly spread out – keep to the bottom only, not up the sides
  • Place in the fridge for 30 minutes
  • Meanwhile mix the cream cheese, yoghurt and icing sugar together until smooth
  • Split the mixture into two
  • Add malteser spread to one part of the mixture and crushed maltesers to the other part
  • Whip the cream until thick and firm
  • Split the cream into two and carefully fold into each cream cheese mixture
  • Place the darker filling at the bottom and top with the lighter malteser crushed layer
  • Place in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight
  • Just before serving cover with maltesers – crushed or whole
This light and surprisingly balanced dessert will please all malteser lovers. 

Fun farewell yoghurt fact: Adelaide's very own The Yoghurt Shop supplies yoghurt across five countries and in over 2,000 retailers - amazing South Australian story!

Challenge 3 - Milo and Yoghurt - I think it's my best!

Image
My workmate elegantly put up on my blog "Milo and Yoghurt...go!" This one I had to say excited me. Everytime I eat milo I feel like a kid again. That's what I love about food, it's ability to take you back to memorable moments in your life. Even a piece of kraft single cheese on a piece of toast reminds me of all the amazing times I had at my grandma's growing up. Time at grandma's house with my cousins was always my favourite part of the school holidays. So yes, I was excited and I felt like a kid again. Growing up I used to love eating chocolate mousse, it was just beautiful. So a milo and yoghurt mousse came straight to mind. Smooth, rich and light. However milo itself isn't overly sweet and the yoghurt will make the mousse rather tart. So I thought it needed something to even out the flavour. Like lemon compliments tequila, strawberries compliment chocolate. So I thought a sweet strawberry compote would work well. In terms of visuals, I needed somethin

Thai meatballs

Image
I think meatballs are one of the most diverse dishes of all time - cooked in tomato sauce in Italy and Greece, wrapped in flatbread in Turkey, served in hot soup in Vietnam or covered in gravy in Sweden. When done well, they are moist, delicious and a great cheap eat. When done badly they are dry and tasteless.  Lending itself to so many different creations, I like to experiment with the humble meatball. For this dish you can use traditional coconut milk however for a tangy and creamy twist, you can use yoghurt. Go with your gut.  Ingredients: 500g pork or beef 1/2inch of ginger, grated 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon of crushed lemongrass 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons of coriander 1 red chili (small or ½ big chili – remove seeds if you don’t like spice) ½ teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon flour 1 tablespoons of thai paste (you can use green curry paste if you like or follow the below recipe) 3/4 cup of chicken stock ½ cup yoghu

Chocolate peanut butter balls

Image
We were going to visit family for morning tea when I had a moment of panic and realised I had nothing to take. In these situations no bake bites are my go to. They are easy, simple and need very few ingredients. Whatever is in the pantry, you can put in a mixing ball with some melted butter and chocolate and you have a quick sweet treat. That day, I was wanting to feel like a kid again so looked for ingredients that would conjure up fond childhood memories. That ingredient for me is peanut butter. Peanut butter with honey on toast was my weekend indulgence. I loved the sweet and salty combination.  So with almond biscuits in the pantry and an abundance of peanut butter at my disposal I got to work. This week’s blog recipe is chocolate peanut butter balls. What you make with things from the pantry.
