If you followed my previous posts you will know that William is a fantastic Chef. He really has a passion for it and is something that I am happy to support him through.
(He says slowly growing outwardly)
The time came again though where he's gone "Daddy, we haven't made Cheesecake for a while. Maybe we should"
(Seriously who would deny cheesecake and one that is being offered to be made for you?)
Most times William has these ideas I will always let him decide what he wants to do; this week he decided that we should make a Strawberry and Chocolate Cheesecake.
Ingredients:
- 1x Packet of Chocolate Digestives
- Butter
- 300g Mascarpone Cream Cheese
- 400g Thick Cream
- Gelatine leaves
- Bag of Malteasers
- Strawberries
William started by putting the 3/4 of a packet of Digestives into a bag to break up.
(He didn't want a thick biscuit base this time so used less biscuits but its your choice)
He asked Daddy to melt some butter to mix with the biscuits; this is to help set the biscuits in the tin whilst it is in the fridge.
He then weighed out the Mascarpone and Thick Cream and mixed together; whisk until thick and creamy. William wanted to use a hand held whisk to start so it didn't splash but then used an electric whisk.
William cut up 8 Strawberries (And snacked on a few in between, which, apparently, is a must!)
He the crushed up half of the Malteasers in a bag; mix these into the plain cream.
After taking the set biscuit base out of the fridge and pour the Cream, Strawberry and Malteaser mix on top; Spread the mixture as flat as possible.
Level the mixture out and decorate with the remaining Chocolates.
Leave the decorated Cheesecake in the fridge for four hours to set.
Take the Cheesecake out and remove the tin, eat and enjoy!!
William made this entirely himself and created the different combinations and ideas. He has an obsession with Malteasers at the moment; hence having two Cheesecake recipes featuring them!
(Apart from melting the butter and some assistance with pouring the different mixtures where Daddy helped)
I hope you enjoyed Williams latest instalment of 'My Little Chef'' let us know if you make this!!
Would love to know how you get on!

That looks really tasty (well Done William), must cook more with the little lady.
It really was! He's a clever little chap with his cooking. You definitely should Ashley! It's such a good little bonding activity.....If you do take pics and link it over with SundaySweets
What a clever boy! We made chocolate brownies this week, amazing how much they enjoy baking isn't it? I love doing it.x
Thanks Natalie! I love how children love cooking and baking. Even more so when he really enjoys it. :) did the brownies come out well?
This looks utterly divine. I could eat the whole thing immediately actually. Very clever Little Chef! It reminds me of another cheesecake recipe - if you like lemons? Same base + equal quantities of double cream and condensed milk plus the juice of about 3 lemons (or more if you want it more lemony). Let it set for 3 hours.....total amazeballs.
I really do love the fact that he makes it himself, you've got one confident little man there with fantastic taste too :) Thanks so much for linking up to #SundaySweets
Ooo exciting! As you know I live for new recipes. So will definitely try that. :) it was surprisingly yummy.
No problem love the linky and should do more so I can add to it. :)
I'd like to say he gets his flare from me but sadly not. I love discovering new recipes and cooking and baking and hence why I love him doing it. But his maternal grandfather is a professional successful chef (can't mention names) so think he's got his natural ability from him. It makes my life easier though. He just goes quite in the kitchen for a few hours and I let him get on with it. Then let James clean up.....I've got it easy really lol
This looks delicious! Cheesecake is one of my favourite things to make. My little girl only 2.5 though so not nearly as competent in the kitchen as William. Looking forwards to really cooking together when she's a bit older... Rather than just creating chaos! My first time at this linky #sundaysweets
I actually started with William around 2.5 only with peeling and letting him supervise. Start them young and you'll get them cooking for you in no time lol
That looks delicious, will definitely have to try this recipe as I'm a bit of a cheesecake fanatic. Well done William, what a great little chef!!
We love a good cheesecake and William always loves coming up with new designs for it. He's a clever little cook.
