NO BAKE RHUBARB CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Crush the biscuits in a sealable plastic bag with a rolling pin until everything turns into crumbs.
• Mix the butter and salt with the crumbs.
• Spoon the mixture into the base of a 23cm (9in) springform cake tin and level with the back of a spoon.
• Place in the fridge to set.
• Preheat the oven to 200°C / fan 180°C / 390°F / gas mark 6.
• Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
• Align the rhubarb in a single layer on top of the parchment paper.
• Sprinkle evenly with caster sugar.
• Sprinkle with the blood orange zest and juice.
• [Optional] Place peppercorns in muslim and tie it up. Put in the orange juice.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then leave to cool.
• Drain the rhubarb juices into a small saucepan and place over a low heat. Place the gelatine leaves in the liquid to soften and stir until everything is dissolved.
• Place the liquid and three quarters of the cooled rhubarb batons into a food mixer and process until smooth. Set aside the rhubarb puree and store the remaining rhubarb batons in the fridge.
• Place the cream cheese in a stand mixer.
• While it's running, slowly add the icing sugar.
• Fold the rhubarb puree into the cream cheese mixture.
• In a separate bowl, whisk double cream until soft peaks form.
• Fold the double cream into the cream cheese mixture a bit at a time. Repeat until the double cream is finished.
• Remove the cheesecake base from the fridge and tip the mixture into the springform tin. Gently drop the tin onto the kitchen counter a few times to let any bubbles out.
• Place the cheesecake in the fridge to chill for at least 6 hours.
• Before serving, decorate with the remaining rhubarb batons. Enjoy!

RHUBARB & GINGERNUT CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment and fill with the rhubarb. Scatter over the sugar and orange zest and pour over the juice. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod in there too, throwing the spent pod on top. Cover with foil and roast for 20 mins. Remove from the oven. Purée a third of the rhubarb, reserving the rest for the top.
• Butter a 20cm springform cake tin and line it with baking parchment. To make the base, put the biscuits in a bag and smash them with a rolling pin, or put them in a food processor and grind to crumbs. Tip into a mixing bowl, and stir in a pinch of sea salt. Pour the butter over the crumbs. Mix it together with a fork and tip it into the tin. Tap the side of the tin with your hand to even the crumbs out, and gently compress it with the back of a large spoon until it's packed in and level. You want it fairly well packed so that it holds together. Put in the fridge to chill.
• To make the filling, put the cheese and quark or yogurt into a mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, and beat it together. Mix until combined and thickened, then fold through the rhubarb purée.
• Pile the mixture on top of the biscuit base and smooth it down. Cover with cling film and chill overnight until set. Remove the rhubarb from its syrup with a slotted spoon, tip the syrup into a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce for about 3-5 mins until the syrup is more concentrated. Allow to cool.
• Carefully remove the cheesecake from its tin. Pile the rhubarb on top and drizzle over some syrup (you can save the rest for drizzling over porridge), then scatter with the pistachios to serve.
