Dragon fruit also known as pitaya is full of antioxidant and best eaten chilled. The fuchsia thin rind envelopes the large mass of lightly fragranced sweet white, red or pinkish pulp and small edible black seeds. Taste the unique blend of dragon fruit with cheese with the accompanying recipe.
1 dragon fruit
Base:
230g chocolate biscuits
30g melted butter
1 1/2 tbsp warm water
Cheese filling:
250g cream cheese, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla essence
100g sweetened condensed milk
100g full cream milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
Mix together:
2 tsp gelatin
1/3 cup hot water
Red colouring
Pulse together biscuits, melted butter and warm water to crumbs. Press biscuit crumbs into a 16cm springform baking tin and chill in the fridge. For cheese filling, beat all ingredients till smooth. Put in a drop of colouring and swirl for marble effect. Place half of cut dragon fruit on the base and pour cheese mixture over it. Put one or two drops of colouring on top of the cake. Swirl it to get a star effect. Chill it for 4 hours in the fridge. Serve cheese cake with the remaining dragon fruit.

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't say when to use the gelatin and hot water
ReplyDeleteI'd take it as you add the food color to the gelatin to get the swirl effect.
