Pineapple Cheesecake Blondies Recipes

CREAMY PINEAPPLE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Cut out some parchment paper and line the base of the tin.
• Drain & chop the pineapples into small chunks, say the size of sugar cubes and drain with kitchen paper. Place all your digestives / Graham Crackers in a zippy bag, and using a rolling pin bash them until they become fine crumbs.
• In a mixing bowl (large enough to hold the digestives) melt the butter for 30 seconds in the microwave. It should be liquid. If not, heat for a further 10 seconds, or until it has completely melted. Add the crumbed digestives to the butter and mix very well until it is all incorporated.
• Lightly (vegetable) oil the base of your tin if using a large tin. Transfer the digestives mixture to the baking pan.
• Use the bottom of a glass or other object and compress the digestives mixture as much as possible. The harder it is the less likely it will come apart when you take it out of the pan. Use the back of your hand and go along the edges pushing the mix down and compressing.
• Add the icing / powdered sugar (if using) to the cream and whip up until just before stiff. Add the cream cheese and mix in well. Add your pineapple. Mix in gently with a spoon.
• Brush the side of the tin all around with some vegetable oil or spray to prevent the pie from sticking then add the filling just like in the photo below.
• Use a spatula and carefully smooth the surface of the mixture. Place in the fridge for 4 hours MINIMUM.
• When ready to serve you can decorate the top or leave it plain. the choice is yours!

SALTED CARAMEL CHEESECAKE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet. Bake until toasted, about 8 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
• Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang; coat the parchment with cooking spray.
• Make the cheesecake batter: Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until combined; set aside.
• Make the blondie batter: Whisk the flour, baking powder and fine salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl; whisk in the remaining 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla until combined. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in 3/4 cup pecans.
• Spread half of the blondie batter in the prepared pan. Top with half of the cheesecake batter in spoonfuls. Warm the caramel sauce in the microwave, then drizzle between the spoonfuls of cheesecake batter. Top with the remaining blondie batter, then the remaining cheesecake batter in spoonfuls. Using the tip of a butter knife, gently swirl together to create a marbled effect.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then lift the blondies out of the pan using the parchment and transfer to a rack. Drizzle with more caramel sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup pecans and the fleur de sel. Refrigerate until completely cooled, about 2 hours. Cut into squares.
