24Oct....Cheesecake making....first attempt!

Well,

Deepavali is a festival for the Hindus......It's the festival of lights.....however, on the eve of this public holiday, 2 of my girlfriends and i have gathered together at FF's place to stay overnight for a drink and make cheescake!

I'm a cheesecake lover but has never tried making one myself. There are times when i've tried my colleague's masterpiece and i'm really amazed by the cheesecake makers....its really nice..be it the exterior or the taste of the cheesecake itself....so i'm rather excited about making this cheesecake....Though our main chef will be Weizhen and i'm not sure how good her skills is, i must admit that i believe it will definitely be an interesting experience!!!

The following night happens to be Jerome's birthday and we've decided to invite him to try the cheesecake....haha....though we do not know the results, but i'm sure it's the thoughts that counts mah...imagine your friend making a cake for you, heartwarming siah....

So with this, let me introduce the ingredients of the dish.....

For the crust...
1. Main ingredient, digestive biscuit


Firstly, crush the digestive biscuits in a plate with a spoon till it's fine and enough to fit into a tupperware where you want to make the cheesecake





2. Margarine




Mix the margarine with the crushed digestive biscuits so as to create a softer and stickier base that enables the biscuits to stick together and act as the crust




3. Sugar

Add a little a sugar into the base mixture to make it sweet

With all the three ingredients and steps, press the mixture into the base of a tupperware evenly






Tata....crust done....next, the cheese itself....

1. Cheese



Need 2 boxes of this. When they are soft, mix the two boxes together





2. Oreo cookies



As we are making an oreo cheesecake, you will need a package of oreo cookies. Crush these cookies and add to the cheese mixture





3. Whipping cream



Seriously speaking, i've no idea why we need this but chef Yee says the other time when she is making the cheesecake, this is one of the required ingredient. Anyway, we added this to the mixture in order to make it look like the texture that Chef Yee has seen before.



After adding all the part two ingredients and mixing it, it looks like this



Haha! looks absolutely disgusting right....eeee







So...after mixing and it is sort of ready, put it in the tupperware on top of the crust and place it in the fridge.....


Once it is ready...(how do we define ready, when its 'hard') take out the cheesecake and cut it into the desired slices....

our final product



Haha, knows what i think it looks like? Yam on Sweet potato!!! haha

Though it does not looks nice, it is definitely tasty!!!




And now introducing the other two chef other than me

Chef Yee











Chef Sik










And i don't have a photo on me working on it not because i din do anything, but all the photos were taken by me! so of cos no photos of me at work....

Come to think of it, i've never place my photos online and has remained 'hidden'.....

So.......let's leave it as status quo

ps. weizhen, if you reading this, i still think we need gelatin lah.....hehe
