Fig, orange and mascarpone cheesecake from Sweet (page 212) by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made this to use up leftover mascarpone and biscuits. Used a 18 cm cake tin and made half of the base and half of the filling - it fit just right.

    I used some jarred spiced baby figs instead of dried and skipped the step of boiling them in orange juice. This is a very grown up cheesecake, beautiful, rich flavours. One to be enjoyed with a glass of port.
