Cookies or Pretzels Cheesecake
Hello Blondies!
I have a secret skill.
I swear it’s like a sixth sense.
When I walk up and down that aisle with the trolley, I can guess what snack you’re going to answer for when I ask you cookies or pretzels.
** Just so you know YES, is not an answer, it’s a pet peeve and 98% of the time I will give you whatever is in my hand. If you would like both treat your flight attendants like humans not maids and ask polietly for both ** rant over.
As I have been grounded for a quick min…about 6 months to be exact, there have been a few things I have been missing. Back when I first started flying on the Q400’s there were no ovens and snacks were limited so we made our own.
Enter flight attendant cheesecake.
The original recipe is a pack of TruLime, 2 Triangles of Laughing Cow Cheese, 1 pack of sugar mixed in a cup and spread on 2 Biscoff cookies.
Now that I am home I thought I would expand on the recipe to make it into a proper cheesecake.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Crust:
100 grams of Biscoff Cookies
80 grams of Pretzels
50 grams of Sugar
85 grams of Melted Butter
At first I didn’t use pretzels in the base only in the filling but at it set in the fridge the pretzels got soggy, so I moved it to the base so they keep their crunch and add a bit of salt.
Step 1: Crush cookies and pretzels
Step 2: Add sugar until fully mixed
Step 3: Pour over Melted Butter
Step 4: In a lined 9’’ cake tin pack down crust mixture
Filling:
390 grams of Laughing Cow Cheese (cream cheese is fine too…I’m just adapting it closes to the original)
120 grams of Icing Sugar
2 teaspoons of Lime Juice (again lemon works just fine)
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
360ml of Whipping Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip all the ingredients together until stiff peaks then pour over crust. If you wanted a more sweet/salty palate you could add a teaspoon of salt to balance out the sweetness.
Topping (Optional):
2 Tablespoons of Dulce de Leche
2 Tablespoons of Biscoff Cookie butter (I bought mine in the US before COVID)
About half cup of whipping cream…I eye balled it
Cookies and Pretzels for Garnish
Melt Ducle de Leche and use a spoon to drizzle over the cake, repeat with Biscoff cookie butter. As for the whipped cream, whip until stiff peaks than gently add small dollops in a circle to create desired pattern. Place Cookies and Pretzels on top of whipped cream, if you really wanted to go next level you could crunch up more cookies and pretzels for and outer coating…I didn’t go quite that far this time, perhaps next time.
Until the I see you in the skies, bon apetit.
