Strawberry cheesecake vs Chocolate cheesecake








Here are two very simple-to-make cheesecakes with different toppings. Strawberries vs. Chocolate ..both are simply delish!

The base is a mix of oreo cookies+Jacob crackers+Weetameal


(which explains the mixture of colours but tasted very nice!) The cheesecake is basically a mixture of cream cheese + whipping cream + sugar + eggs + lemon juice + a couple of tablespoons of flour and then, into the oven. No sweat!

The strawberry topping: Strawberries, sugar, water over heat.
The chocolate topping: Double-boiler chocolate pieces + milk.

Simple yet satisfying.

Slice Cheese Cake


So, what do you do when you feel like having cheese cake but there's no cream cheese in the fridge? Well, use the sliced cheese instead!

Maybe there's another name for it, but I found this recipe on the internet months ago, tried, tested AND loved it! It is soft and light, definitely return for seconds.

Recipe:
4-5 slice cheese
200ml milk
4 eggs (separate)
70gms butter/margarine
70gms sugar
70gms plain flour (sieved)
vanilla essence

Cut/Tear the slice cheese into small pieces and place it in a pot with the milk. Heat it on low till the cheese dissolves. Add butter till melted and switch off the heat. Let it cool. In another bowl, whip the egg whites till meringue. Put it aside. As for the egg yolks, whip it in another bowl, and further add the cheese+milk+butter mixture till combined. Then, add on plain flour bit by bit making sure the batter is smooth and no lumps visible. Finally, fold in the egg whites into the batter.
In a preheated oven, bake it about 170C for 50 minutes using the water bath method.
