Recipes for Day Five...

Here are the recipes I spoke about in the main post





Toblerone Cheesecake

Ingredients
Base
1 cup plain chocolate biscuit crumbs
80g butter, melted
1/4 cup ground almonds
Filling
500g block PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
200g TOBLERONE Milk or Dark Chocolate, melted
1/2 cup thickened cream
Topping
200g TOBLERONE Milk or Dark Chocolate for shaving


Instructions

COMBINE biscuit crumbs, butter and almonds, press into the base of a lightly greased 20cm springform pan. Chill.

BEAT Philly* and sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the melted Toblerone and cream until well combined.

POUR onto the prepared crumb base and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours until set, or overnight. Serve topped with the Toblerone* shavings



Honey and Macadamia Coated Lamb

Ingredients
6 x 4-cutlet lamb racks, fat removed
1 tablespoon chopped macadamia nuts
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon seeded mustard
handful rocket leaves
1 cucumber, sliced
2 spring onions, sliced
1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved


Instructions

Step 1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Remove fat and silver skin (layer of silvery sinew on top of racks) with a sharp knife. In a hot pan, sear racks over a medium-high heat for 3 minutes on each side.

Step 2 Combine macadamia nuts with garlic, honey, oregano and mustard. Spoon on top of lamb and spread to cover. Cook on an oven tray for 20 minutes for medium, 10 minutes for rare.

Step 3 Leave lamb to rest before slicing into cutlets. While meat is resting, toss together rocket leaves, cucumber, spring onions and tomatoes with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve alongside the lamb.
