Baking is off the agenda at the moment with my temporarily limited kitchen facilities. So I had to think creatively to ‘cook’ up some Valentine’s treats.
Duerr’s sent me a jar of their limited edition Aphrodisiac Jam, as well as containing strawberries and champagne it has some Horny Goat Weed added which is, apparently, a natural viagra! Strawberry and Champagne Aphrodisiac Cheesecakes (no bake)Makes 46 McVities Digestive biscuits (crushed)50g butter, melted1 teaspoon cocoa powder100g full fat cream cheese1 teaspoon caster sugar100g Duerr’s Aprodisiac Jam Whipped cream (optional)four silicone cupcake cases 1. Mix the crushed digestives with the butter and cocoa powder. 2. Divide between the four cupcake cases and press up the sides to create a cup, refrigerate for at least half an hour until firm.

Let’s Cook Sweet Treats for Valentine comes from Simply.Food and is all about preparing delicious treats to woo your loved one.
The theme for Tea Time Treats is chocolate so I’m sneaking this in as it does have a teaspoon of cocoa powder in the biscuit base! Tea Time Treats is the blog challenge run by Lavender and Lovage and The Hedgecombers and this month it is hosted by my friend Karen at Lavender and Lovage.
Family Foodies is in the mood for ‘luurve’ and this cheesecake is as good a foodie cuddle as you could possibly want. Family Foodies is the challenge run by Eat your Veg and Bangers and MashI was provided with a jar of Duerr’s Aprodisiac Jam I was not paid for this post and all opinions are my own.

Looks amazing and so tasty.Thankyou for sending it to lets cook sweet treats for valentine.
I would love some of these right now.
Great idea – I am impressed you're still managing to blog a recipe during kitchen chaos – I only ate tilda microwave rice when ours was out of action. Hope the end is in sight!!
I was wondering what was going to be made with that Aphrodisiac jam! Love them Janice!
you know what janice, your kitchenless phase might well give me a few things I CAN make, like these!!!
Loving the Aphrodisiac Jam! Brilliant. Your mini no bake cheesecakes sound really rather LUSH!
oooh these looks delicious! and I do love mini cakes like these. Relatively low on guilt factor!
I can honestly say I've never tried or come across any jam containing horny goatweed! Lucky Valentine 🙂
Ooo err missus! Those horny goats certainly make a fine looking cheesecake!

A JAM with APHRODISIAC properties, helloooo! FAB recipe too, never mind the passion, I would love to see this on my table, and thanks for linking up to Tea Time Treats too Janice! Karen
Well do tell Janice! Did it have the desired effect?
That would be telling! Jac
Heh. Horny Goat Weed. I'm going to be laughing about that for a while. Beyond that, strawberries and champagne is one of my favorite jam combos.
What can I say: YUMMY! Love the bite size sweets 😉
Horny goat weed in jam? That is hilarious Janice – whatever will they come up with next? Your cheesecakes sound thoroughly delicious though.
Is Aphrodisiac jam supposed to be used in the kitchen or the bedroom?
Ha ha Horny Goat Weed, that is brilliant! The tarts look delicious and I like the no bake approach.
They look delicious. Never heard of horny weed before but it did make me chuckle 🙂
Horny Goat Weed??? That is an amazing name for an aphrodisiac 🙂 These look really delicious and fun. But I am just fascinated yo know more about this strange Goat Weed! Doesn't sound all that sexy I must say! Thanks for entering these into Four Seasons Food – they sure tick the box for this months theme. x
