Aother cheesecake question

    Thanks to everyone here, my Baileys Orange Truffle cheesecake last weekend was turned out brilliantly - better than I could have hoped and I can't wait to do it again.

    In the interim, and seeing as I've now mastered the art of cooking a cheesecake :p I wanted to try some different flavours. I'm going to go for a baked white chocolate Malteser raspberry cheesecake, so basically a white chocolate cheesecake with some raspberry coulis and crushed white Maltesers mixed in.

    My question revolves around additional flavouring. I'm going to add some vanilla extract to the cheesecake mix, but I was thinking about adding some cinnamon to the biscuit base - not much, just a hint. Would this be too many flavours? I think vanilla & cinnamon would compliment each other, as long as they're not overpowering and both should work quite well with the cheesecake mix.

    How about some mint,citrus or honey to go along with your cinna/vanilla cheescake!

    Heh, honey maybe but if I think cinnamon might over-flavour it the other things you've mentioned definitely will!

    Powdered ginger, or gingernut biscuits may be nice, as ginger goes well with your ingredients. A fun way of putting your ideas into practise is to spread a gingernut with some cream cheese, and top with some white chocolate, white malteser and a fresh raspberry. Pop it in your mouth and see how they interact. Not an exact science, but it may prove useful.

    That's a great idea actually, I hadn't thought of trying it out like that. And you're right, ginger should work really well with the original ingredients. Thanks!

    I put a few heaped tablespoons of ovaltine into the base of my malteasers cheesecake for extra malty goodness

    Does anybody know of a restaurant or cafe in Dublin city that serves non-baked cheesecake? They all seem to just do the baked variety.

    Hi seahorse61, welcome to Boards. You'd be more likely to get helpful replies in the Dublin City forum since your question is area specific.

    Why not try ginger nut biscuits, not quite cinnamon but ginger works with a lot of desserts, specifically cheesecake!
