FODMAP Caramel Cheesecake Recipe

So for this week’s Great British Bake Off inspired recipe, I thought I would make a caramel cheesecake! If you want to see my other GBBO inspired bakes, I made a Black Forest Gateaux & Arlette biscuits! The GBBO contestants were asked to make a baked cheese cake, but I have chosen not to. I wanted instead, to share my FODMAP Caramel Cheesecake recipe!

Want to know how I made my wheat-free, dairy-free, FODMAP friendly cheese cake? Of cause you do! You can find the recipe I based mine on on the BBC Good Food website.

For the base you will need:

• 50g Pure Spread
• 140g Free-From Digestive Biscuits

Start by breaking the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. I used the blender to do this. Then gently melt the butter into a saucepan. Once the butter is melted, add the biscuit crumbs to the mix & stir together. Place this mixture into the base of a cake tin. With the back of a spoon, press the mixture down so that it is densely packed. Place this in the fridge while you make the topping.

For the topping you will need:

• 4 Gelatine Leaves
• Cold Water
• 3 tablespoons Boiling Water
• 400g Free-From Yoghurt
• 100g Light Muscovado Sugar
• 50g Dark Muscovado Sugar
• A Pinch of Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 400g (I used 225g as I didn’t order the right amount – oops!) Tesco Free-From Cheese Style Spread

Place the gelatine in a bowl & cover with cold water. Leave this for 5 mins, then drain. Pour the boiling water over the soaked gelatine & stir to dissolve.

Place the Free-From yoghurt in a small saucepan with the muscovado sugars and salt. Stir over a gently heat until the sugar dissolves. Add in the gelatine & vanilla extract, stir & add to a bowl to cool.

Whisk the Cheese Style Spread until smooth. Add the yoghurt mixture & whisk again. Pour this mixture on top of your chilled base. Cover with clingfilm & leave in the fridge overnight to set.

You can add Fudge to the centre. I didn’t read this part so didn’t add the dairy-free fudge to the shopping order!

I was really pleased with how this cheesecake turned out, particularly as it’s the first time I have used gelatine. I’m really enjoying this GBBO series as I’m stepping out of my comfort zone & learning loads. I hope you’re enjoying it too!
