Due to the finances being a little tighter than normal we decided that a day at home
was the best way to celebrate Daddy.
Hubby got spoilt - he got a wireless keyboard to use with his iPad, a coffee machine and spit roaster both of which he got early and Rhyley made him a stubbie cooler and voucher booklet full of things he will do for Daddy when he redeems the voucher. Honestly I doubt he will keep his end of the bargain but we'll see....
So we decided to cook a roast pork on the spit which we served with Crash Hot Potatoes, broccoli, zucchini & carrots. Hubby cooked the roast while I prepared the veggies & made dessert.
Dessert was a delicious take on a recipe I found for Pecan Pie Cheesecake the recipe sounded really good but I HATE baked cheesecake so I decided to make it with a chilled cheesecake and a different Pecan Pie recipe since I didn't have corn syrup, I also altered the pecan pie recipe by adding less sugar so here is my take on this yummy dessert!
Pecan Pie Cheesecake
Ingredients
Base
250 grams Arnotts Butternut Biscuits (use whatever biscuit you like)
100 grams of butter (melted)
Pecan Pie Filling
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter (melted)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
Cheesecake Filling
250 grams Philadelphia Cream Cheese (softened)
395 grams Nestle Condensed Milk
1-2 tsp Vanilla Extract (depending on taste)
1 Tsp gelatine dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water
Directions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (reduce temperature by 20 degrees if using a fan forced oven)
Base
Place biscuits in a food processor to crush the biscuits finely
Add melted butter to the crumbs and mix together
Press firmly and evenly into a 20cm round cake pan working up the sides if desired.
Put base aside or in the fridge.
Pecan Filling
In a bowl mix the sugar and eggs together
Add the melted butter, flour, milk and vanilla and mix then add the pecan.
Pour mixture over the base and bake for 30-40 minutes or until done.
Cool completely before adding the Cheesecake filling (to speed this up place in the fridge)
Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl add the cream cheese and using an electric mixer mix until smooth and lump free,
mix in the condensed milk and vanilla.
In a small cup/bowl add the gelatine and water mix together to dissolve the gelatine completely
before adding to the cream cheese mixture.
Mix together then pour over the cooled Pecan Pie filling.
Place in the fridge to set for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Enjoy!
This dessert was a HUGE hit with hubby, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did :)
Until next time,
