BLACK CURRANT CHEESECAKE



Black Currant Cheesecake image

This is a delicious dessert, again it was one I trialed last year in a food tech lesson, so I had an hour to make the whole thing and it really does need longer to chill for it to set properly. The design brief was to make the food healthier, so I had to lower salt, fat and sugar content and raise fibre, however this still tastes great. (It's hard to make cheesecake healthy!) The blackcurrants give it a wonderful flavour, I defrosted and used up berries I'd picked the previous year, frozen and forgotten about. I served this in clear individual ramekins so you can see the layers of base and topping, it looks brilliant! Yum Yum Yum. =)
