Lime - Pistacie & Mynte Cheesecake og en fortælling om en Diamantbryllup.

Jeg havde helt glemt at der var noget der hed Diamantbryllup indtil mine forældre fik en tillykke hilsen fra Kong Frederik. Ja jeg vidst godt at der var en 60 års bryllupsdag, mashallah, på vej. Det skulle ikke være noget stort, vi vil overraske dem bare med kage og blomster. Kong Frederik ødelagde den overraskelse med sin lykønsknings overraskelse, heldigvis. Min forældre blev fejret hele dagen. Børnebørnene havde pyntet op, dækket et flot spisebord og laved en smuk port. Der var pakistansk - dansk morgenmad inklusiv kagebord og til familie medlemmerne der ikke havde fri kom sener efter arbejde var der kage og aftensmad. 

Morgenmad som blev til brunch pga snestormen bestod blandt andet af channe, pratha og en pakistansk dessert : æg og suji halwa . Kagebordet var international bestod af hjemmebag samt købt kage. Min søster havde bagt hendes lækker banan kage og jeg valgte at lave en cheesecake fordi der vil være lagkage sener. Cheesecake er ikke en pakistansk dessert men smagene pistacie, lime og mynte er. Udover at mine forældre var meget glad for kortet fra kongen, det har betydet rigtig meget for dem, var de var meget glade og rørte hele dagen. Må de altid være glad og velsignet med et godt helbred, inshallah.

Lime - Pistacie & Mynte Cheesecake

folie til bagning, bagepapir,  24 cm springform. Jeg laver altid cheesecake aften før, så det kan stå i køleskabet natten over.

Lime & Mynte krymmel

2 ½ spsk sukker

2 spsk frisk mynte blade, fint hakket

frisk revet skal af 1½ -2 lime

Lav krymmel aften før med fordel. Blend alt godt sammen i en blender eller brug en morter. Spred krymmel ud på bagepapir, det vil være lidt vådt. Læg et andet bagepapir oven og press lidt på det, lad det tørre nogle timer før det kommes i en beholder.

Bunden

150 gr kiks

150 gr pistacie
80 gr smeltet smør
60 gr sukker

- Forvarm ovn 150 grader.
- Gør 24 cm springform. Smøres let med smør, beklædes med bagepapir og pakkes ind i folie til vanbadet sener.
- Cheescake anbefales at bage i vandbad,  der giver en lækker glat kage, se her hvordan: http://cupcakeluvs.blogspot.dk/2014/03/mango-cheese-cake.html 

Blend kiks og pistacie og sukker i en blender. Tilsæt smeltet smør og bland godt.
- Press blanding ned i springformen
- bag bunden ca 8- 10 minutter eller til bunde er gyldent.

Fyldet
560 gr flødeost
240 gr sukker
6 æg + 3 blommer

frisk revet skal af 1 stor lime

 frisk presset saft af 3- 4 store lime

1½ spsk Lime - & Mynte krymmel 

- Pisk flødeost og sukker sammen til det er godt blandet og glat.
- Bland i en æg/blomme ad gangen.
- Vend lime saft og tilsæt lime skal.

- Vend i også lime og mynte krymmel
- Hæld oste massen i formen over den sprøde kikse bund. Placer formen i en oven bakke.
- Placer bakken i ovnen. Hæld vand i bakken, den skal ikke fyldes helt, kun så vandet når halvt op til formen.
- Bag cheesecaken ca 50 - 60 minutter i 150 grader forvarmet oven. Siderne skal være faste og midten lidt blød. Denne gang slukkede jeg for oven efter ca 50 minutter, men lod kagen stå i oven 10 minutter, det forhindrer revner i kagen siger de kloge. Fjerne forsigtig folie fora siderne. Min bund blev lidt fugtig da spring formen havde en afsat, tippet er brug en rigtig springform.
- Afkøl kagen natten over i kølskabet eller minimum 2 timer, drys med Lime & mynte krymmel.

Lime- Pistacio & Mint cheesecake and a tale of a Diamond Wedding.

I had completely forgotten that there was such a thing as a Diamond Wedding until my parents received a congratulatory greeting from King Frederik. Yes, I knew that a 60th wedding anniversary, mashallah, was coming up. It wasn't supposed to be anything big, we just wanted to surprise them with cake and flowers. King Frederik ruined that surprise with his congratulatory surprise, luckily. My parents were celebrated all day. The grandchildren had decorated, set a beautiful dining table and made a beautiful gateau. There was a Pakistani-Danish breakfast including a cake table and for those of family members who didn't have time off joined after work for cake and dinner. 

Breakfast, which turned into brunch due to the snowstorm, consisted among other items of channe, pratha and a Pakistani dessert: egg and suji halwa. The cake table was international, consisting of homemade and purchased cakes. My sister had baked her delicious banana cake and I chose to make a cheesecake because there will be layer cake later. Cheesecake is not a Pakistani dessert but the flavors pistachio, lime and mint are. Besides my parents being very happy with the wish card from the king, it has meant a lot to them, they were also very happy and touched the whole day. May Allah SWT always bless them, may they be happy and blessed with good health always, inshallah.

Lime - Pistachio & Mint Cheesecake 

 foil, baking paper, 24 cm springform pan. I always make cheesecake the night before so it can sit in the fridge overnight. 

Lime & Mint crumble

2 ½ tbsp sugar 

2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped 

freshly grated zest of 1½ -2 limes 

It is best to make the crumble the night before. Blend everything well in a blender or use a mortar and pestle. Spread the crumble out on baking paper, it will be a little wet. Place another piece of baking paper on top and press down a little, let it dry for a few hours before putting it in a container. 

The base/crust 

150 gr biscuits 

150 gr pistachios 

80 gr melted butter

 60 gr sugar 

- Preheat oven to 150 degrees. - Make a 24 cm springform pan ready. Lightly grease with butter, line with baking paper and wrap in foil for the water bath.

 - It is recommended to bake the cheesecake in a water bath, which gives a deliciously smooth cake, see here how: http://cupcakeluvs.blogspot.dk/2014/03/mango-cheese-cake.html 

-Blend biscuits and pistachios and sugar in a blender. Add melted butter and mix well.

 - Press mixture into the springform pan - bake the base for about 8-10 minutes or until the base is golden. 

Filling 

560 gr cream cheese 

240 gr sugar 

6 eggs + 3 yolks 

freshly grated zest of 1 large lime 

freshly squeezed juice of 3- 4 large limes 

1½ tbsp Lime - & Mint crumble 

 - Beat cream cheese and sugar together until well mixed and smooth. 

- Mix in one egg/yolk at a time.

 - Stir in lime juice and add lime zest. - Stir in lime and mint crumble as well

 - Pour the cheese mixture into the mold over the crispy biscuit base. Place the mold in an oven tray. - Place the tray in the oven. Pour water into the tray, it should not be filled completely, only so that the water reaches halfway up the mold.

 - Bake the cheesecake for about 50 - 60 minutes in a preheated oven at 150 degrees. The sides should be firm and the center a little soft. This time I turned off the oven after about 50 minutes, but left the cake in the oven for 10 minutes, this prevents cracks in the cake, say the wise. Carefully remove the foil from the sides. My bottom was a little damp because the springform pan had a ledge, the tip is to use a real springform pan. 

- Cool the cake overnight in the fridge or at least 2 hours, sprinkle with Lime & mint crumble.
