Two Hearts 'Cheesecakes'

Introduction & Inspiration

This is a delicious cheesecake for Valentine's Day or indeed for any special occasion. The 'cheesecake' base has a nice kind of crunch to it like a traditional biscuit base. The 'cheesecake' filling is very smooth, with a flavour profile that is not particularly strong with respect to the liver and the topping compliments the base very well. It’s a very satisfying savoury type dessert.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

40g Beef Sheet (roughly ground)

1 Tsp Honey (Optional)

50g Beef Tripe 'Cheesecake' Filling - Sweet

Recipe Instructions

Base Instructions:

Soften the Greaves Pâté in the microwave on low power for 15 to 20 seconds.

Add the Greaves Pâté to a bowl along with the other ingredients. Use a spoon to incorporate all the ingredients well together.

Place a piece of greaseproof paper onto a tray that's large enough to hold both cheesecake bases.

Place the 'cheesecake' circular rings on top of the greaseproof paper.

Spoon the base mixture evenly between the two circles and then use the back of a spoon to level the mixture off so that the 'cheesecake' bases are as level as possible. (the mixture will come roughly half the way up the circle).

Cover the tray with clingfilm and then place the cheesecake' bases in the freezer.

Topping Instructions:

Make the Tripe 'Cheesecake' Filling - Sweet as per the recipe instructions.

Place the required amount of filling into a glass bowl.

Add the Liver Parfait and honey to the glass bowl and then use a spoon to mix all the ingredients well together.

At this point, remove the 'Cheesecake' bases from the freezer.

Divide the Topping mixture evenly between the two circles, and use a spoon to level off the tops of the 'Cheesecakes' so that they're as level as possible.

Place the Liver 'Cheesecakes' in the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the topping is slightly harder (this will allow you to remove the circular ring from around each cheesecake a little easier).

Remove the circular rings from around each 'Cheesecake'.

'Cheesecake' Assembly & Decoration:

Chop up the Beef Crackling on a wooden chopping board into little pieces.

To decorate each 'Cheesecake', add a heart shape in the centre of the 'Cheesecake' out of crispy Parma ham flakes , and then encircle this heart with a heart made out of Beef Crackling.

Finally add some Beef Sheet Circle Shapes on top of each 'Cheesecake'.

The Two Hearts 'Cheesecakes' are now ready to serve.

Bon Appetit!
