Prune Cheese Cake
Prunes are highly nutritious and are sweet with a deep taste and a sticky chewy texture. It is one of my favorite dried fruit and I always like to eat prunes like candy. I also like to add prunes in my bakes and this is one of them ~ Prune Cheesecake ~
Ingredients:
200g Pitted prunes
2tbsp Sugar
50ml Dark rum
Put the prunes, sugar and dark rum in a bowl and leave for one hour.
Simmer prunes and dark rum in a small pot over low heat for about five minutes until the prunes have swelled. Remove from the heat and leave to cool and layer the prunes over the crust.
This recipe is same as Blueberry Cheese Cake
Base – 8″ cake tin, grease tin all over and line
100g Marie biscuits, crushed 100g Butter – melted
Mix all the above ingredients and press onto the cake tin base.

Filling:

65g Whipping cream
60g Sugar (half portion to egg yolks and egg whites)
3 Egg yolks
3 Egg whites

1 tbsp Dark rum or Rum compound
Method:
