For the dough:
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 and 1/3 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons of sugar and a drizzle of vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
For the filling:
- 2 cups of spreadable cheese (plain)
- 1 sachet of vanilla custard powder
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup cooking oil
- A little less than 1/2 cup of milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks
1 can of peaches
- Knead the crust ingredients together and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- Press the dough into a baking dish lined with parchment paper, prick it several times with a fork and pre-bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
- Mix the cheese spread, custard powder, sugar, cooking oil and milk. Add the egg yolks, then fold in the beaten egg whites.
- Drain the fruit, place it on the pre-baked crust and spread the cheese mixture on top.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 35 to 40 minutes until set.
Advice: Pre-bake the crust “blind” means bake it without the filling first. This technique ensures that the crust gets crispy and doesn't get soggy once the topping is added. Simply line the dough with parchment paper, prick it with a fork and use dried beans to weigh it down during the initial baking phase.
Enjoy this magnificent blend of creamy cheesecake and juicy fruit filling, a dessert that promises to delight and impress.
