I have made a boysenberry cheesecake only once.The taste was great, but I didn't like the texture of the boysenberry topping.It was like jelly.I did use gelatine.But, I would like the topping to be more like a sauce.What can I do!

Take boysenberries and sprinkle generously with icing sugar.Leave overnight and then mouli them up to make a couli,pour that on top and it will be yummy!
Thaw berries if using frozen. If using fresh, wash . Press through sieve or liquidiser. Pressing through sieve before blending allows removes the seeds. Mix cornflour, lemon juice, and sugar with cool water Cook the cornflour mixture, boysenberry juice, and lemon zest and over medium heat stirring constantly until sauce is thickened and smooth Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stir to prevent burning. Chill until ready to serve with dessert. Can also use raspberries, strawberries etc instead of boysenberries.

If I am using a tin of boysenberries that I have blended up (juice and all), then put through a strainer to get rid of all the seeds and have just the juice left, then what!

Thanks.I just saw your comment come up after I had posted my other question.I did wonder if I am using tinned boysenberries, if I simply cooked or boiled the juice with sugar or something, if it would then become thick, ha ha.Not much of a chef I am.

used to be able to buy fruit puree kind of stuff that you mix in with yoghurt. mum used to get the passionfruit stuff for on top of cheesecake, it's just like fruit sauce with the yummy chunky bits still in there!

Mmm, sounds yum - brand!I did have this strawberry typed topping that was in a foil bag and was meant for icecream topping I think.And I was thinking of using that, but it seemed far too sweet to be on a cheesecake.

There will be no cornflour taste provided you bring it back to the boil once you have added the cornflour.Just to the boil and then off again.This will make your fruit thicker rather than the gelatine which actually sets it.The cornflour and fruit will thicken more on cooling.

*****PEANUT BUTTER & CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE***** Tried this the other day at a local cafe.Paid the price for it though $6!Thought that was a rip off, but wanted to see what it would taste like.Peanut butter flavouring or whatever was obviously in with the cream cheese and the chocolate was the topping.
I love sweets, so will guzzle down almost anything, ha ha - but, I am unsure whether I loved it or not.Was very different though, and rich.

I just made an orange cheesecake, found the recipe in an old mag at work, 15 daughter said it was the best cheese cake she has ever had. High praise or what! Had more of a Jaffa flavor than orange.
