Hugh's goat's cheesecake with gooseberry compote

This is a wonderful way to use goat’s cheese you’ve made yourself. However, any soft, fresh, rindless goat’s cheese will do. If you can get it unsalted, so much the better. If not, leave out the added pinch of salt from the recipe.

Servings

Serves 10

Ingredients

•750g very fresh, mild unsalted goat's cheese (see above)
•45g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
•3 tablespoons medium oatmeal or semolina
•a good pinch of salt
•75g caster sugar
•2 eggs, lightly beaten
•Grated zest of 2 small oranges, plus 1 tbsp orange juice
•Plain yoghurt, to serve (optional)
For the compote
•500g gooseberries, topped and tailed
•75g caster sugar
•50ml water

semolina, Plain Yoghurt, caster sugar, oranges, Gooseberries, oatmeal

Directions

Preheat the oven to 170C/gas 3 and butter a 20-23cm springform cake tin. Beat the cheese with a wooden spoon until smooth, then add the melted butter, oatmeal or semolina, salt, sugar, eggs and orange zest and juice. Mix well. Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth the top. Bake for about 25 minutes, until just set. To make the compote, put the gooseberries in a pan with the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 10 minutes, until the gooseberries are soft. You can leave it to cool, or serve it warm. Serve the cheesecake hot, warm or at room temperature with the gooseberry compote and, if you like, some creamy, thick yoghurt.
