Cheesecake Delice
The first time I had a slice of cheesecake was back in the 70’s in Britain, when I was there as a young student in some families in the suburbs of London as a paying guest, as we used to say. Then I tasted it again in Germany in the early 80's. It was a completely new taste to me. We didn’t use cheese for cakes, the nearest thing we had was our ricotta cheese which was a common ingredient in South Italian recipes. But the taste was totally different. Those were the years when the first cream cheeses like Philapdelphia or Dover were marketed in Italy and I remember I once made a cheesecake for my birthday soon after my return from Germany: I loved it but my friends found it a bit ‘unusual’.
For some years I thought there was only one type of cheesecake, the classical recipe I’d say, with a base of biscuits and the chilled filling, but then I found out there was a complete hidden universe.... from the chilled to the baked ones, and I didn’t lose time to try each recipe, although my family didn’t sound so fond of them. My mum used to say: ‘Good’ but her voice couldn’t betray it was just to please me... So I couldn’t make cheesecakes very often until I had my own house. Now after many years my mum still doesn’t like them much but my children love them and I feel free to experiment them all!
This is a a baked cheesecake with some Mars bars inside and rasberries on top, a real delicacy!
Song: ‘Don’t let me down’
Try this cake, it’ll never let you down!
