Allinson's

Is plain flour and all-purpose flour the same thing? In answer, yes and it is a staple baking ingredient in most kitchens.
We love Allinson’s Plain White Flour as it is expertly milled from British wheat. Whilst it doesn’t contain any raising agent, like Self-Raising Flour, it is often combined with baking powder or bicarbonate of soda in a recipe to create a beautiful rise in the oven.
This flour makes a whole host of bakes from scrummy scones to pretty tarts and pastries, producing a light and delicate texture. Also, a handy ingredient to have around when thickening sauces.

Billington's

Psst. We have the secret to make your already awesome bakes phenomenal. Introducing the finest quality caster sugar for baking – Billington’s Golden Caster Sugar.
What is golden caster sugar? The perfect natural alternative to refined sugar. You can use it in the exact same way and quantity as caster sugar, however, this ingredient adds a magical touch to your bake; a warm golden colour and subtle buttery flavour, ideal for light and fluffy sponge cakes, satisfying shortbreads and dainty macaroons.

Billington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar

Butter (unsalted)

For the base

Forget other light brown soft sugars, Billington’s Unrefined Light Muscovado sugar is incomparable with its hints of unique warm honey colour and creamy fudgy flavour, making it one of the finest light brown sugars in the world.
Why do we recommend Billington’s? This sugar is a superior substitute in any recipe calling for soft brown sugar as it will add rich and deep flavour to all your bakes. Boasting the chewiest, gooiest cookies, perfect gingerbread, biscuits and a host of savoury dishes too, it screams versatility.
Billington’s unrefined sugars are produced with the aim of locking in, rather than refining out, the natural molasses of the sugar cane. It is this difference that gives Billington’s its unique richness, aroma, depth of flavour and natural colour that we love.

Our Millionaire's Cheesecake combines a rich, sweet cream cheese filling with homemade caramel, topped with a delicious chocolate topping. Who's for seconds? 

Millionaire's Cheesecake Recipe

Preheat the oven to 180˚C (fan 160˚C, gas mark 4).

Mix flour and sugar in a bowl and rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Knead together to form a dough.

Press the dough into the base of a 20cm loose bottomed cake tin, bake for 15 minutes until firm to touch and lightly browned, then allow to cool.

For the filling, melt the butter, muscovado sugar and condensed milk in a small pan. Bring slowly to the boil and simmer until thickened (around 5 minutes), stirring continuously.

Reserve 175g of the caramel, spooning the rest on to the base and smoothing over. Allow to cool.

Beat the cream cheese and reserved cooled caramel together in a large bowl.

Whisk the cream until it forms soft peaks and fold into the cream cheese and caramel mixture. Spoon on to the cooled caramel layer on the base and place in the fridge to set.

In short bursts, melt the dark chocolate in a bowl in the microwave. Slowly stir in the double cream until smooth, pour over the cheesecake and let it set before tucking in.

Delicious Dessert. Well worth the time spent making. Stirred in the double cream to chocolate and it started to set but short bursts in the microwave sorted this. Easy to cut.

Absolutely brilliant! 
What a treat and great instructions, very easy

I've made this a few times now, it's so easy to make and always a hit 😍

My son loved it, so did I. 
I was in a hurry so I didn't bake the base but used biscuit (crumbled) and butter with little bit of sugar. 
I used melted white chocolate mixed with bit of cream on top for decoration.

Hiya! Planning to make this tomorrow, thank you for the recipe. I have two questions though. There's no gelatin or any other setting agent in the recipe, I presume it sets perfectly without it every time? And also, how long this cheesecake can sit outside the fridge please ? Cheers, Millie x

Hello,

The cheesecake will need to time to set in the fridge, preferably overnight. It would be best to serve from the fridge and not from room temperature.

Happy Baking!
