Michelle's Freefrom White Chocolate Cheesecake

Corn, gluten, milk, nightshade, nut, peanut, sesame & wheat free; can be egg, lactose, soya & free

This recipe was inspired by the arrival of some Mortimer Chocolate company dairy-free white chocolate powder. What, we asked ourselves, could that be?..... Sugar, cocoa butter and natural vanilla, it turns out – and very delicious it is too. As are the four 'estate grown' dark chocolate powders that Mortimers also sell – from Ghana, West Africa (blended cocoa liquors from Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigerian), Ecuador and a South American blend. Do check them out. But meanwhile....

Ingredients

  • 100g / 4 oz gluten/wheat-free digestive biscuits or Graham crackers
  • 50g / 2 oz goat butter or 1 small egg white
    (most dairy-free spreads do not set solidly enough to hold the biscuits crumbs together)
  • 160g / 6oz plain soya or goat cream cheese
  • 160ml / 5/8 cup soya, oat or or goat cream
  • 120g / 5oz Mortimer's White chocolate powder
    (alternatively, if you can tolerate goats' milk, you could use the Billy Goat Stuff white chocolate buttons)
  • strawberries or other fresh fruit to decorate

Method

  1. Crumb the biscuits in a food processor.
  2. Either melt the butter and mix it into the crumbs, or mix in the egg white.
  3. Spread the crumbs out in the bottom of a loose bottomed flan tin or a flan dish and flatten out.
  4. If you are using butter, put the dish into the fridge to chill.
  5. If you are using the egg white, bake the dish for 20 minutes in a low oven (170C/325F/Gas Mark 3) to set the egg white.
  6. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with the cream until smooth.
  7. In a bowl over hot water, gently melt the white chocolate powder until it is liquid then add it to the creamed mixture.
  8. Spoon this into the flan dish and chill for half an hour until it is nearly set.
  9. Arrange the fruit on top and return to the fridge to set.
