Can my cheesecake be saved?

Sunny Dayz

I made a malteaser chessecake on Saturday evening from a recipe I found on BBC website. I checked it in the fridge Sat night before I went to bed, It seemed set along the outside but didn't seem set in the centre. As I usually make strawberry or lemon cheesecakes, I just thought maybe it would take longer as a different type of cheesecake. Checked it again yesterday morn and still the same.

Took a chance and served it yesterday afternoon after dinner, but when I cut it, it went all over the place. I put the tin back on it quickly. Myself and son ate what was on our plates in a puddle and it did taste nice though.

It is now sitting in my fridge. Is there anyway that it can be saved? Any idea where I went wrong? I am a bit annoyed as malteasers don't come cheap and I was looking forward to eating it. Finally, has anyone a good recipe for malteaser cheesecake?

The only runny cheesecake I've ever seen was also a malteaser cake so maybe it's the same recipe that's at fault?? I don't know if the Philadelphia website has a malteasers cheesecake recipe but I can certainly vouch for their other recipes, easy recipes that always turn out right. Particularly the milk chocolate Toblerone.........yummy!

This is the simple recipe I always use and works out great every time....

1/2 pack digestive biscuits, crushed, with melted butter (I never measure how much)
300g philadelphia cream (has to be full fat, none of this low fat nonsense!)
225ml cream
4oz icing sugar
large pouch of maltesers


Make the base as normal;
Mix the philadelphia and icing sugar together;
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it is "fluffy" and thick looking, add the cream to the philadelphia mixture
crush the maltesers and add them to the mixture, then spread over the biscuit base. It says to chill for at least an hour but I would usually leave it for around 4 hours or even overnight. If there's a spare bar of toblerone knocking about the house I would lob that in the mix too! Mint aero is also lovely - i have done a lot of testing!

Hope this works for you Sunny Dayz

What no strawberries or jelly. :eek:

Thanks Mongal. The recipe I followed looked for sour cream as well which is probably why it turned out so liquidy. Will try again next weekend.

I take it there's no way the one I have in the fridge can be saved?

Freeze it and call it malteser cheesecake ice cream
