Raspberry and Pistachio Cheesecake
Method
For this recipe, we’re going to split up each of various elements.
Step 1 – Caramel for Cheesecake
In a saucepan, place 120 grams of the caster sugar with 80 grams of the glucose. Add enough water to make a slurry and heat to 185 degrees.
Stir through 160 grams of the butter, until smooth, followed by 200 grams of the cream to finish. Cool and reserve for the cheesecake.
Step 2 – Cheesecake
In a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment, combine the White Wings Cheesecake Filling with the zest of one lemon and mix on low speed, slowly incorporating the milk.
Leave in the fridge until set.
Step 3 – Cheesecake Mousse
Place half of the set cheesecake filling that you have prepared earlier back into the mixing bowl and add 200 grams of the cream with 100 grams of the caramel you prepared earlier.
Combine ingredients in the mixer and pour into the cream gun.
Charge with one charge and shake well – refrigerating until needed.
Step 4 – Pistachio Crunch
Melt 50 grams of the butter and combine slowly with the White Wings Biscuit Base, Anchor Rolled Oats, Pistachio Paste and 5 grams of salt.
With a paddle attachment, combine until mix forms a crumb. Transfer the mix onto a baking tray and bake at 170 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Step 5 – Caramelised Puff Pastry
Lay one sheet of the Pampas Puff Pastry on a baking tray and brush with 50 grams of the melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with around 150 grams of caster sugar.
Cover the puff pastry with a sheet of baking paper and place a second baking tray over the top, to ensure if bakes flat. Bake in the oven at 170 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until golden.
Step 6 – Lemon Jam
In a saucepan, combine 600 millilitres of water with 400 grams of sugar and the peel of three lemons.
Bring the mixture to the boil and allow to simmer for five minutes.
Stir through agar-agar and pour into a tray to cool. Once the mixture is cool and set, place in a blender and blitz to a jam.
Step 7 – Pistachio Praline
Place 200 grams of sugar into a saucepan and cook to a light caramel (approximately 170 degrees).
Stir through 200 grams of pistachios and remaining 2 grams of salt and spread onto a tray to cool.
Step 8 – Raspberry Sorbet
In a bowl, whisk 130 grams of the sugar with 85 grams of glucose through the raspberry puree until sugar has dissolved.
Churn as per your ice cream machine’s directions.
Step 9 – Assembly
Layer the rest of the cheesecake mix that didn’t go in to the cream gun and sprinkle with the pistachio and oat crumb.
Roughly break the pastry into shards and wedge onto the plate, along with dollops of the lemon jam in various places.
Add the aerated cheesecake, the pistachio praline chunks and scoops of the raspberry sorbet. Garnish with freeze dried raspberries for a final touch if you have any available.

WHAT IS A RECIPE CALCULATOR?
A recipe calculator works out what a dish costs to make and what it needs to sell for to turn a profit. Some tools under that name are really a recipe converter, turning ounces and teaspoons into metric, or a recipe multiplier that scales quantities up or down, or a nutrition calculator returning the energy and carbohydrate count per serve. Ours is a recipe cost calculator. Enter your ingredient costs and servings, and you get a total cost, a cost per serve, and the margin behind your selling price.
HOW TO USE OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR
Enter your recipe name, method and serving size, and the number of servings the recipe makes.
Select “+ Add Ingredient” to build your ingredient list, then enter the quantity purchased and cost of goods for each item.
Enter the quantity your recipe actually uses for each ingredient, in grams, millilitres or each.
Select Calculate to see your total cost across the batch, plus the same figure with GST added and your cost per serve. This is where the calculator divides your total batch cost by your number of servings, converting it into a cost per portion.
Enter a Selling Price per serve to see your Food Gross Profit, Food Markup percentage and Total Generated Profit.
WHY FOODSERVICE BUSINESSES USE OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR
Cafes and quick service kitchens change their menus often, and costing a new dish properly before it launches matters more than costing it quickly. Catering and events businesses price the same recipe at different scales throughout the year, a function for ten one week and an event for two hundred the next. Enter the servings for each job, and the calculator handles that recipe scaling without you reworking your ingredient list from scratch.
Bakeries producing large batches need to know the per-unit cost still holds as bakery ingredient prices shift. Contract caterers working to a fixed per-meal budget, such as aged care or education providers, can check a recipe against that budget before it goes into a wider meal planner or seasonal menu.
Across all of these, the value is the same. You get a cost per serve and a margin you can trust, built from your actual supplier pricing rather than an estimate.

WHAT MAKES OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR DIFFERENT
Most recipe cost calculators are standalone software with no link to where you actually buy. Ours sits within Goodman Fielder Food Service, a foodservice supplier. Once you’ve priced a recipe and know your numbers, you’re already talking to the team that supplies the ingredients themselves. If a margin looks tighter than expected, that’s a conversation about ingredient pricing you can have straight away.
