Earl grey cheesecake is an elegant and more special variation of cheesecake that you should try if you want to impress your friends and family. Even if may sound complicated, it is very easy to make.
Soak the gelatin into half (½ cup) of the amount of evaporated milk.
3 teaspoons Gelatine, ½ cup Evaporated Milk
Take a saucepan, pour the rest of the evaporated milk, heat it up and infuse the earl grey tea in it.
1 tablespoon Earl Grey Tea, ½ cup Evaporated Milk
In the meantime, prepare the biscuits base. Crush them using a rolling pin or a food processor.
4.5 oz Biscuits
Melt the butter in a microwave or in a saucepan and pour it over the biscuits. Mix well.
1 ¾ oz Butter
Take a plate on which you plan to serve the cheesecake and arrange on it the baking ring. Cover the walls with baking paper.
Pour the crushed biscuits into it. Now, with your fingers or with a glass with a flat bottom, press the biscuits to get a compact and uniform layer. Move the biscuit base into a refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Return back to the cream. Combine the cream cheese with powdered sugar using a whisk.
1 ⅔ cup Cream Cheese, 4 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
Now, remove the tea bags from the evaporated milk. Combine this composition with the gelatin mix.
Incorporate the gelatin mass with the cream cheese mixture. To avoid lumps, this step into two stages. Add half of the cream cheese, incorporate it well, then add the rest of the cream cheese.
Pour the obtained composition above the biscuits base.
Return the cheesecake back to the refrigerator so the gelatin will harden.
After that time, remove the baking ring, baking pepper and decorate the earl grey cheesecake as you wish. To keep the same theme of tea, I decorated it with aromatic herbs and dried fruits.
