Cheesecake is a delicious way to treat yourself, and you can easily make it from scratch as long as you have the right recipe. Jamie Oliver’s Mediterranean vanilla cheesecake is a creamy
dessert that only uses five simple ingredients and takes around 10 minutes to prepare. He said: “Inspired by the much-loved baked cheesecakes you find in parts of the Mediterranean, this
tasty, cheeky little pudding is dead easy together, but the finished result looks super impressive.” This mouth-watering cheesecake serves up to 12 people, so you can make it for yourself or
as a simple way to impress guests. Plus, this recipe can act as a base so you can decorate with whichever toppings you want such as fresh fruit, caramel or chocolate to make the dessert
even more to your liking. READ MORE: MARY BERRY’S RED VELVET CAKE RECIPE IS IMPRESSIVE BUT EASY TO MAKE IN 30 MINUTES INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 220C, line the base of the cake tin
with baking paper, and grease with a little bit of olive oil. Then, lightly dust the tin with icing sugar. Sieve the 300g of icing sugar into a large bowl and then add the cream cheese and
vanilla bean paste. Stir the mixture until smooth and then whisk the eggs in one at a time. Finally, sieve in the flour and mix until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the lined
cake tin, then wrap the base in tin foil, and then place the cake tin in a roasting tray. Boil a kettle and then carefully pour the water into the roasting tin until it is filled halfway.
Bake on the top shelf of the oven for around 20 minutes or until golden and loosely set in the middle with a slight wobble. Once ready, take out the oven and leave to cool in the water for
15 minutes, then take out the water and leave to cool completely. Cover and leave to chill for at least four hours before serving, and then your delicious cheesecake is ready to eat. Jamie
highly recommends serving with “fresh seasonal fruit.”
