Strawberry cheesecake

Ingredients

• 250g digestive biscuits
• 100g butter , melted

Vanila pod

600g soft cheese

100g icing sugar

284ml pot double cream

400g punnet strawberry , halved and stoned

25g icing sugar

Prep 30 mins
Plus 1 hr and overnight chilling

1. EQUIPMENT: 23cm loose-bottomed tin, baking parchment, plastic food bag, rolling pin, large bowl, dessert spoon, chopping board, kitchen knife, electric mixer, spatula, serving plate, blender or food processor, sieve
2. Make the base: Butter and line a 23cm loose-bottomed tin with baking parchment. Put the biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, then pour over the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated. Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr to set firmly.
3. Remove the vanilla seeds: Slice the vanilla pod in half lengthways, leaving the tip intact, so that the two halves are still joined. Holding onto the tip of the pod, scrape out the seeds using the back of a kitchen knife.
4. Make the filling: Place the soft cheese, icing sugar and vanilla seeds in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Tip in the cream and continue beating until the mixture is completely combined. Now spoon the cream mixture onto the biscuit base, working from the edges inwards and making sure that there are no air bubbles. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessert spoon or spatula. Leave to set in the fridge overnight.
5. Un-moulding and topping: Bring the cheesecake to room temperature, about 30 mins before serving. To un-mould, place the base on top of a can, then gradually pull the sides of the tin down. Slip the cake onto a serving plate, removing the lining paper and base. Purée half the strawberries in a blender or food processor with 25g icing sugar and 1 tsp water, then sieve. Pile the remaining strawberries onto the cake, then pour over purée.

Many people looks so conscious decision to be either a red wine drinkeror white wine drinker.
I always finds this incredible,as there so many varieties of both of wine,that i really dont think you can love All red wine and categorically say do do not like White Wine.
Here I'll try to explore what makes red wine Red,and then goes into it is distinctive tastes.

The wine is the colour of the grapes that produces the wine,so red wineis made from red grapes and white wine from the white grapes.Withen each grapes variety, there many hues of colour.so what classed asa red wine may actually be more of purple colour, or even have a blueish tint to it.This is according to the grape colour and type that went into production of wine.Taste of wine according to the colour descriptor- these descriptors include such wonderful terms as garnets,almost black, dark red,light red,ruby red, opaq,deep violet, maroon and goes on.

When tasting red wine,there are many things that you may pick up on- often the strongest tastes are one fruit.more common taste you should pickup on dependingof the varietyof Red wine you drinking: strawberry,cherry,plum, blackberry, gooseberry, rasberry,currant,raisin.

The taste added in wine isnatural manner to make them distinct ,so tastea taste of stawberry will mean that strawberryhas used to making some processat the same point.
