Heaven on a Plate

November 8th - My daughter was home for 'reading week' - allegedly, though catching up on pals and watching programmes form Sky Planner was probably nearer the mark. Anyhow, a nice Sunday lunch....with luscious pud was in order. But what to make? What better than White Chocolate and Blueberry Cheesecake, another of Bill Granger's recipes.  The base was just the usual crushed digestives mixed with melted butter. Confidently, I started on the topping, wildly beating together 250g of marscapone with 125g of cream cheese.....but then I got to the part that said 'chill overnight to set'....this was 2pm on the day of consumption! Note to self...read recipes to the end before starting. Undeterred, I got some cream, whipped it and folded that into the cheese mix....before adding the 250g of melted white chocolate, quickly spreading it on top of the base, slamming the lot in the fridge and keeping my fingers crossed. The blueberry topping was lush. 2 punnets of blueberries were added to a pan with 60ml of orange juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of vanilla paste. When the mixture began to boil and the berries begin to pop the pan was taken off the heat and another punnet added. At least I thought it would cover the collapse of the cheesecake which had not had enough time to set. But set it did....mmmmmm
