Rainbow Love

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow."

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The weather has allowed me to witness quite a few rainbows in my life recently. I am not complaining. They really are such beauties and have the ability to change the worst of days into happy memories. I saw this lovely one recently which changed into a double rainbow shortly after. I was stuck in traffic after a long day of work and was amazed at the fact that not one other person I saw stuck in their cars got even a glimpse. A personal treat for me!

So I decided to pay tribute in the one way I know best. Baking. 

A delicious rainbow cheesecake.

I cannot take credit for the cake, so if you want the whole recipe, follow this link. 

Over 900g of cream cheese, about an hour of cooking, so much tasting I was on the verge of a cheese coma, and a massive mess in someone else's kitchen later I came out with this treat. 

It took a while to put together as you have to mix layer by later, in a similar way as I did for this post. 

Starting with a single later of white, you gradually make your way through the separated colours until you have what looks like a child's crayon drawing. 

Luckily it tastes much better.

The recipe from The Food Pusher recommends you cook the cheesecake in a roasting pan of water. I also strongly recommend following this method as it ensures that the cake remains moist and does not over-cook in some areas (i.e.the edges).

There was not enough space in my oven so I was only able to cook one cheesecake at a time, but this worked out better as I was able to resist the temptation of munching through both in one evening.
