spittonextra is hosting this month SHF. The theme is dairy. I consume a lot of cheese, milk and yogurt, a great theme for me.

A week ago I celebrated my birthday with a special birthday cake (also with a lot of whipped cream!). From there I had some canned cherries left, good opportunity to consume them.

Recipe 1: Cheesecake-Crème
makes 1



50 g Philadelphia*
30 g melted white chocolate
80 g Crème fraîche*
canned unpitted cherry
5 tb cherry syrup (liquid of the can)

Mix Philadelphia and Crème fraiche, add melted chocolate. Let cool in fridge at least one hour. Put half of the Crème into a nice glass. Cover the Crème with cherries. Mix the rest of the Crème with cherry syrup and add to the glass. Decorate with cherry and whipped cream.

* Low fat version: I used Philadephia light and 0% fat quark.

100 g unpitted canned cherries
1 tb lemon juice
1/2 tb honey
125 g yoghurt

Place all in a blender. Cover and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
