Passionfruit and Chokito Cheesecake with a Passiona Glaze
Watched "Grease", "Jules et Jim", and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" last night. Which made me immeasurably fond for that decade of transgression in Australia, the seventies. I was just a wee innocent paisley shirted country lad, so my favourite weaknesses were just Passiona and Chokito. I still enjoy Passiona and it is the only non-alcoholic drink that brings me any any great joy. It was time to revisit the Mars Bar Cheesecake and move on with a bit of experimentation.
Underbelly of Eisenhower
300gm of chocolate coated digestive biscuits - reduced to crumbs and mixed in with 125gm of melted butter. Spread on the base of a springform tin and put in the refrigerator.
Menage A Trois
375gm of cream cheese, 1/3 cup of caster sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla essence beaten until smooth and then 1/4 cup of passionfruit pulp mixed in.
300ml pure cream beaten until soft peaks form.
All mixed together with 3 finely chopped Chokito bars and 3tsp of gelatine in 1/4 cup of warm water
Poured onto base and smoothed over.
Frankenfruit
1/3 cup of Passiona, a tbs of caster sugar and 2tbs of passionfruit pulp. Brought to a boil in a saucepan, simmered until thickened a little, and then brushed on top of the cheesecake.
Put in the refrigerator until firm.
Good? Oh yes.

Nah that's lies made up by those Pasito bastards.
Apologies, I'm locked in as You over at Quiggin, your name is forever associated (no pun intended) with rectal probing. I guess it's yet another drink I owe you now. We may have to come up with a more permanent solution but then again think of the whippy baffling mystique. I thought Anthony G but that made me think of Kenny G and that's not where I want to be.
It is also the great mystery of this blog that it has very little to do with spices or anything really, it is a vessel in which to place meaning. All I can hope for is a bit of traffic from people looking for (over here googlebots) nude pictures of Geri Halliwell.

It's a self basting cake.
Crushed biscuits - we're a poor country, right now I'm blogging a Underwood typewriter with a cord running to my Rank Arena television.

Hi Anthony,
What's a chokito bar? I don't think we have them here at all. The cheesecake looks wonderful though.

Ugly log of a thing, rice crackles, chocolate, nougaty interior - not sure what would be the US equiv but I'd like to know.

don't think there is a us equiv of a chokito. the closest would be a something that used to be called $100,000 bar (the one hundred thousand dollar bar, properly) but i think it's now called hundred grand...? only diff is that it's gooish caramel, not nougat.

Nope I'm worng it is caramelly not nougaty. $100,000 bar - land of opportunity. We like simple things like "chok" "eat" "oh" ("oh" as in Robbo, Johnno etc.)
