Welcome to this, the first of my foodilicious posts. I enjoy making food, and especially making food to share. Nothing is complicated, taste is my objective.
My Son is my best critic, and says yum yum to this one and licked the bowl and the spoon – and he is 19! It is a fun dessert for sharing, and delivers classic cheesecake flavours in a flash.
I love the idea of delivering food that is a bit unexpected. Hence Paté for dessert.
Ingredients:
- A large tub of cream cheese (I tend to use the lightest version)
- 2 giant tablespoons of lemon curd (either home made or a really good quality shop bought alternative)
- 2 giant tablespoons of whipped cream or creme fraiche
- Simple sweet biscuits or cookies (nothing with too strong a flavour). I used Nice biscuits, but Mariettas, digestives, vanilla wafers etc. would work just as well.
Extras if you like:
- Lemon Zest
- Popping candy
Method:
Ideally make ahead of time. Whip the cream crease with a wooden spoon. Add the lemon curd. Taste as you go and add enough lemon to create a tart, yet sweet flavour. Now add a couple of tablespoons of whipped cream or creme fraiche.
I tend to use cream for a kid friendly and richer version and creme fraiche when I want a slightly tarter version.
That is it! Now refrigerate for a good few hours, or overnight if you have time.
To serve:
Top with zested lemon rind, or for a celebration, popping candy. Serve as you would a paté or dip, surrounded by crackers.
This dish was made for an Easter celebration so we added some little eggs and bunnies.
Enjoy.
And please don’t forget to send me your feedback.
