The modern cheesecake

By Abigail Donnelly
8
Easy
15 minutes, plus chilling time

Ingredients

  • 1 x 200 g duetto dolce cheese
  • 150 g Gorgonzola
  • 250 g mascarpone
  • Verjuice syrup, for drizzling
  • Ginger biscuits, for serving

Method

Remove the duetto dolce from its packaging and gently press into the base of a 15 cm mould (try not to change the shape of the cheese too much).
In a mixing bowl, combine the Gorgonzola and mascarpone until smooth. Spoon into the mould on top of the duetto dolce and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
When ready to serve, dip a butter knife into hot water and run the blade along the inner rim of the mould to loosen the cheese. Turn out onto a cheeseboard or platter and serve drizzled with thick verjuice syrup, with crunchy ginger biscuits on the side.
Cook’s notes: If the cheese is difficult to remove, briefly dip the mould into a bowl of hot water before turning out. Try the honey, date and Brazil nut Duetto.
Chopped dates will add an interesting dimension to this dish – in this case, serve with crisp salted crackers or biscuits.

TASTE’s take:
This is a great way to serve a cheese course with a twist.
