I promised Anna I’d bake some mini-cheesecakes for her birthday and having never made cheesecake before, I spend all week looking up recipes. I found 3 recipes that I really liked so I had the brilliant idea of combining the 3 to make mini white-chocolate cheesecakes with an oreo-base and blueberry syrup on top. Could I have made it any harder for myself? Seriously, what was I thinking.

Anyway, we totally stuffed it up! We got all the quantities mixed up and ending up with too much butter in the base, too much sugar in the top and too much heat in the oven. We couldn’t have gotten it any more wrong than we did. It’s not easy baking after a few drinks, I obviously didn’t learn from our previous BUI experience (baking under the influence).

After burning the lot we tried to save them by chopping the top off (because it was pitch black), but it ended up looking a bit like an egg-tart. So to make it look edible G, being the Masterchef that she is, had a bit of a play. In the end it turned out semi-decent looking (btw: the blackness in the after shot is Oreos, but burnt) and it was actually really yummy.

Next week’s mission: Wagon-wheels (preferably not BUI).
