Ingredients

  • 1 bread cob
  • 3tbsp veg oil
  • 3tbsp golden caster sugar
  • 1tsps ground cinnamon
  • 400g full-fat cream cheese
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 50g icing sugar
  • 2tbsp black treacle
  • 1tsps cinnamon powder
  • 0.5tsps nutmeg powder
  • 1tsps ground ginger
  • 200ml double cream
  • Mini gingerbread biscuits for decoration
  • 2tbsp maple syrup (for decoration)
  • Mini candy canes (for decoration)

Method

  1. Step 1

    Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the cob thickly widthways, ensuring to only cut 2/3 of the way down so that your cob remains in one piece. Using a large, circular cutter (or any circular object around 5-6 inches) as a stencil, use a small knife to cut a hole in the centre of the cob deep enough for the cheesecake filling to sit without cutting all the way through.

  3. Step 3

    Scoop out the bread before tearing into rough chunks and laying on a baking tray. Pop your cob on the other baking tray. Drizzle oil all over your cob and baking tray with torn chunks before sprinkling both all over with sugar and cinnamon. Pop both trays in the oven for 10 mins and then set aside to cool.

  4. Step 4

    Onto your cheesecake filling. Mix all cheesecake fillings, bar your double cream, in a large bowl until smooth. In another bowl, use an electric whisk to whip the double cream until stiff (do not overwhip as it could split). Carefully fold your double cream mixture into your cream cheese mix.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon into your cob, piling high and then pop in the fridge for 2 hours to set. Once set, sprinkle with your gingerbread man crumb and dunk in your whole gingerbread men and candy canes before drizzling with maple.

  6. Step 6

    Serve with your sugary bread chunks for dipping, get your spoons out and get sharing. When the dippers are gone, start tearing chunks from your cob - a showstopper that is sure to get people talking!
