Eat It Or Starve's video: CREME BR L E CHEESECAKE

RECIPE & VIDEO: https://www.eatitorstarve.com.au/single-post/creme-brulee-cheesecake ************ COOKBOOK: Cooking with Mickey and Disney Chefs (Lumiere & Triton Restaurants) I knew this was going to be a difficult one to make and I also knew it was going to be mouth watering! It didn’t fail me in either one of those categories! You need time, lots of time……this cake took me a good half a day to make. Would I make it again? Absolutely! OMG it was amazing delicious! I loved the brûlée along with the cheesecake flavours, sensational! My cake did appear to have a crack which can be caused by change of temp once its removed from the oven and it starts to shrink. This is very difficult to avoid in a home kitchen. Decorating the cake can remove this imperfection, but I can assure you the taste was not lagging. Superb cake! Enjoy ************ RECIPE Serves 10-12 CRUST 1 1/2 sweetened biscuits (graham or maria biscuits) 1/2 cup of butter, melted 1/4 cup packed brown sugar CREME BRULEE 2 1/3 cups of heavy cream 2 vanilla beans, split and seeds removed 6 large egg yolks 1/4 cup sugar CHEESECAKE MIX 3 1/2 cream cheese 1 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cups eggs (whole) 1/4 cup egg yolks Icing sugar Recipe best to be made the day before CRUST Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C Add the biscuits and crumb in a blender. Add the brown sugar and butter, mix until well combined. Grease a springform cake tin (25cm /10inches) or place greaseproof paper on the base (to keep the trust from sticking to the bottom) Place half of the crust mixture at the base and spread out evenly pressing firmly to make a smooth base. Take the remaining crust mixture and build the walls of the cake. Make sure the crust covers the edges of the pan of the creme brûlée may leak.
