Quick Fix in the Thermomix - Lemon & Poppyseed Cheesecakes

[VieveMS]

Made these today to take to a BBQ tomorrow.

The recipe was easy to follow and didn't take very long.  You do need to make these in advance as they need a minimum of 4 hours refrigeration before serving (mine will have overnight).

I didn't have the 6cm x 6cm dariole moulds so I used some oval moulds instead.  Due to their shape, I couldn't get all 8 to fit in the bottom of the Varoma so I had 2 sitting on the top shelf of the Varoma as well.  I covered both lots with a double layer of paper towel so water wouldn't drip back onto the cheesecakes (as per the recipe).

Compared to the photo in the book, I was a little light-handed with the poppy seeds.  I will add some lemon curd to the top of each tomorrow prior to serving.

Happy with the results so far but I guess it will all come down to how they taste.

VieveMS -That looks pretty good to me!!  Well done!! They should be delicious with that lemon curd!!

Well these were a big hit at the BBQ I went to yesterday.

Before serving them I piped on some lemon curd and decorated with a raspberry or two.  Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the finished product.

Everyone commented on how nice they were and many went back for seconds.  I ate way too much for mains so I only tried a little bit of one but would definitely make them again.

These little beauties are my new favourite dessert recipe! I bought some dariole moulds especially for this dessert, and I'm glad I did as I've found a few other recipes to use them. Beauty of them is, the 8 dariole mould I bought fit perfectly into the bottom of the varoma. It was meant to be!

Alyce's instructions were spot on! Follow it exactly and you cannot go wrong!

These tasted as good as the photo looks...maybe even better!

I served mine as suggested with lemon curd and, just for pure decadence with a swirl of berry coulis (EDC)

5/5

I cannot wait to make these again! And again! Guests will be totally impressed! They look so professional (but are secretly really easy!)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! Can you tell???

whats the capacity of your moulds?

Hi CreamPuff, sorry for not replying sooner. I just looked at the website and I can't actually see the capacity of them. I'd estimate maybe 150ml or so??

They are called "Tomkin Dariol Mould 18/10 67x56mm"

Am I allowed to post the link to the store where I bought them?

Yes, you sure can Blackwood.

I have made these for dessert tomorrow. They definetly have the wow factor yet are simple to make.  We have had a sample tonight of the spare one. Unfortunately I only made 7, my moulds were 100ml size ( the ones katie gave me in Adelaide).  They are creamy tasting, the Lemon flavour is lifted  by the Lemon butter.  Not an optional extra but a neccesity in my opinion. The poppy seeds add a delicious texture and are good for us. I couldnt get fresh ricotta as coles deli no longer sell it, i bought fresh and organic in a tub.  I think it made the mix a bit runnier when decanting into the moulds and hence displaced some poppy seeds from the bottom. Not an issue as they are served upright. Will add a photo tomorrow. 5/5 will make again.
