Peachy Keen Chezcak Recipe


Peachy Keen Chezcak Recipe
Original recipe right here. We got a butt-load of peaches from our neighbor, so i turned them into chezcak. Like all my other cheesecakes, i use home-made yoghurt cheese to keep the fat content minimal, but you can substitute cream cheese if you're ... More

Ingredients
  • 100g ginger snap biscuits, crushed
  • 30g shredded wheatmeal biscuits/cookies (or digestives or graham crackers, that kind of thing), also crushed
  • 50g butter, melted
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 3 tsp gelatin powder
  • 250g yoghurt cheese or cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 200g yellow peach flesh (no stones and no fuzz. I think i used about 6 smallish peaches), whizzed in the food processor for a bit, not totally pureed though.
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • cinnamon

Directions
  1. Pour the boiling water into a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Leave to cool while you're doing the rest....
  2. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F)
  3. Line a round spring-form cake tin with baking paper. (idid mine in a pie-pan but i had too much filling.....)
  4. Place the crushed biscuits in the food processor and whiz em up till they're all crumbs. Add the melted butter and process a bit more so its all stick together like. Press into the cake tin and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool while you make the filling.
  5. In a medium bowl, use electric beaters to combine the yoghurt cheese and sugar. Add the semi-pureed peaches and vanilla. Mix a bit more.
  6. When your gelatin is room temperature-ish, add it to the peachy mixture. Mix well to combine.
  7. Pour the filling into the cake tin. (its pretty runny, but don't worry).
  8. Shake a bit of cinnamon on top (just cause cinnamon's awesome)
  9. Place in the fridge to set (about 3 hours, but lemme tell you it tastes WAAAYY better the next day. So maybe make this the day before you need it. )
  10. ALSO, id you wanna make yours in a pie pan like i done, you'll probably have left-over filling that didnt fit in the pan. I just crushed up a few more ginger cookies, put them in the bottom of a dessert dish and poured the remaining filling on top for some individual chezcaks.
