Its the hump day! That horrible feeling where the weekend past is a distance memory and the weekend ahead is just too far away to cope...

However - Today for me is "here random - have homemade orkney fudge cheesecake" day!

Is it tea-time yet? or at least late enough to say its not breakfast anymore?

i'll be honest that cheesecake nearly, very nearly became breakfast as I had a taste of it - I now have the recipe and it doesn't involve any cooking!!! Well got to grate and melt a little fudge but that involves the microwave :j

Gonna give it a bash next week! For now I shall eat the one that doesn't take awful when it is elevensies

Still need to go into town and pick up family Xmas cards.

One recipe!! The reds are her edits for my complete inability to cook!

Orkney Fudge Cheesecake
Ingredients
·250g oat biscuits, (Hobnobs or similar), crushed
·75g Butter, melted
·200g cream cheese, (Philadelphia or similar)
·250g Orkney Fudge (or tablet) I used 300g
·600ml double cream, lightly whipped

*I used extra fudge so here I would melt 50g or more of fudge in the microwave just to melt put in 30 sec intervals and stir let to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the rest

1. Lightly butter a 24cm springform cake tin.


*put hobnobs in a plastic bag and beat with saucepan or rolling pin until it looks like bread crumbs
* mix melted butter and biscuits crumbs in a bowl

2. Make the base by combining the biscuits and butter and pressing into the base of the tin. refrigerate

3. Beat the cream cheese until soft.

4. Grate 250g of the fudge (I use my food processor - I didn’t used a food processor I used my cheese grater) and tip into the cream cheese. << add melted fudge here as well.

Whip cream in a separate bowl if you haven’t already

Combine cream cheese mixture by gently - folding in slowly - with the cream.

5. Chop the remaining 50g fudge and scatter over the biscuit base.

6. Spoon the cream mixture over the top and cover. Chill for at least 6 hours (24 hours if possible) before carefully decanting and serving in wedges.
