Cheesecakes.Baked or frozen I think that they are one of the most delicous cakes I've ever tasted. I started making this not long ago and realised it was easier than I thought. I'm going to make this tonight and serve them to my relatives coming to visit from Kuching tomorrow! And there's one particular friend out there who loves this! Yes, it's for you too *hehe*. For those who still buys the $3.50 slice of cheesecake at the Bakery, go to the nearest Supermarket, get the ingredients and try to whip this up yourself!
Fruit Cocktail Cheesecake
Ingredients:
2 bars of 250g Phillidelphia Cheese (Containered ones work the same and don't get the light ones)
1 tin (380g) of condensed milk
3 - 4 teaspoons of Gelatine
8 - 10 pcs of Digestive Biscuits (a bigger pan will need more)
1/2 cup butter
1 tin of Fruit Cocktail
Method:
To make the base, crush the digestives in a Zipbag until fine. Melt the butter and mix the crushed biscuits and butter in a bowl. In a 20cm by 20cm (6cm high) springfoam pan/baking tray, put the crushed biscuits and flattened them evenly on the base with a spoon. Make sure the whole base is well covered. Then put it in the freezer while you make the cheese topping.
With a mixer, beat the cheese for around 5 minutes or until light and creamy (an indication of it well beaten is that when you use a baking spatula the cheese glides off nicely). Then add in 1/2 tin of condensed milk or add in a few tablespoons at a time and taste to your sweetness liking. Put your mixer under low and let it beat slowly while you add hot water (5 tablespoons) to the Gelatine. Make sure to stir it well and get rid of the lumps or else it will curd up in your cheesecake. Pour the Gelatine into the mixture and beat well for around half a minute. Pour the cheese mixture into the frozen pan/tray and put it back into the freezer for 1 hour. Then, drain the fruit cocktail well and top your cheesecake with the cocktail and place it back into the freezer for another four hours and switch it to the fridge after.
Serve with more fruits or Chocolate Syrup!
Serves: 8 - 10 (depending on how many slices a person takes :oD )
Btw I had the funniest comment about my blog. A friend of mine told me that it lacked Drama! *haha* Ok, I'll try to put in Drama in a food blog *sarcastic*. Maybe spice up my cheesecake with Chillies. Hmmmmm *inspired*. Alright guys, enjoy. My next few posts will contain more deserts and Chinese dishes. Plus comments on my trip to the Airport Restaurant for the Thai Buffet.
Till the next post, enjoy every bit of your food because in some parts of the world they don't even have enough.
