It's a wonderful idea to create a cooking sub-forum and I'll do my best to keep it filled and updated regularily. Thanks and props to Oscar and Mark who set it up resp. will do some gourmet moderation in here ;)

I'd like to start with a

So, let's... I dont know how to call it, as the preparation of the following cake involves no baking at all, only heating the jelly a bit? :lol

let's PREPARE a Philadelphia cheesecake. It is a basic cake recipe that tastes deelish and can be made using a common fridge.


The ingredients are:


For the topping
400 grams of cream cheese (guess the brand),
2 cans (400ml) of heavy cream,
200 grams of sugar,
1 pack of lemon-flavored jelly (Jell-O?),
juice from 2 to 3 lemons (depending on size)

For the bottom layer:
200 grams of ladyfingers,
125 grams of butter,

tangerines for decoration (if at hand).

First, cube the butter, grind the ladyfingers and knead them for five minutes:






Pour it into a spring form and spread it out evenly with a spoon, applying a fair amount of pressure:




Now prepare the filling; mix 100 grams of sugar with the cream cheese until it gets homogenous, then add the lemon juice and mix on:




Now prepare the jelly according to package, but only use half of the suggested amount of water:




Whip the cream:


Mix the jelly and cream with the cheese, then pour it on the base:






Put it in the fridge until serving:


This is how it turned out:






Enjoy!
