Ingredients

  • Egg: 2 eggs
  • Butter: 85g butter, melted
  • Caster Sugar: 140g caster sugar
  • Double Cream: 142ml pot double cream, lightly whipped
  • Gelatine: 11g pack powdered gelatine, plus 1 tsp
  • Quark: 250g tub quark
  • Coffee: 150ml strong black coffee
  • Mascarpone: 250g tub mascarpone
  • Biscuit: 175g shortcake biscuit, crushed to crumbs
  • Baileys: 150ml Baileys cream liqueur

Directions

  1. Measure 5 tbsp cold water in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the gelatine and leave to soak for 5 mins until spongy. Now stand the bowl of gelatine in a pan of gently simmering water and leave until it turns clear.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the biscuit crumbs and butter really well, then press on the base of a loose-bottomed 20cm cake tin. Chill.
  3. Beat the quark, mascarpone and Baileys together, then stir in the gelatine and fold in the cream.
  4. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until thick, pale and foamy, then fold into the cheesecake mixture and pour onto the biscuit base. Chill for 3-4 hrs or until set.
  5. For the jelly, sprinkle the gelatine over the coffee, then put the bowl in a pan of gently simmering water until dissolved. Cool the mixture. When cold, carefully spoon the coffee mixture on top of the cheesecake to make a thin layer - don't pour it on or you will disturb the creamy layer. Chill until set. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
  6. To serve the cheesecake, wrap a hot tea towel round the outside of the tin, then gently ease out the cake. Serve in thin slices.
