Baking Brad Episode 9

This is episode nine - choc-raspberry cheesecake slice (without the raspberries).

Recipe

• From Homestyle Cookies Muffins & Cakes

Good

• I learnt some value lessons about using gelatine, or I'll never use gelatine again
• It looked like a cheesecake
• The parts without solid bits of gelatine tasted alright

Bad

• Crushing biscuits without a food processor was a waste of time
• The slice still wasn't as thick as I hoped after refrigeration (freezing helped)

Really Bad

• Gelatine Part 1 - I used hot water to mix it, then let it cool, only it turned into one big clump before I was ready for it (timing is everything in baking)
• Gelatine Part 2 - I used hot water to mix it, then threw it in the cold mixture where it later turned into many small clumps (hot and cold do not mix)

Ratings

• The Cook - 3/10 (-5 points for gelatine)
• The Taste - 3/10 (-5 points for gelatine, I threw most of it in the bin)
