Mango Cheesecake

I love cheesecake and so does the bunch of people at home. My favourite one would be Mango Cheesecake and will never get bored with it. I did this mango cheesecake for Vonne about 2 months ago. This is my third time doing this cheesecake and it is just so easy and simple because there is no baking involve.

Love the mango because it is just so refreshing and chilling. Good for hot weather and we had this cheesecake right after the BBQ party to welcome Vonne back here in KL. The kids really miss her a lot. Hahaha…

Japanese Cotton Soft Cheesecake

Thanks Constance for sharing this lovely Japanese Cotton Soft Cheesecake. The whole cheesecake turned out so lovely and I am so happy seeing it. Never thot that this cheesecake is so easy to bake. I cut quarter for my neighbour and the rest brought back to Ah Mah’s house. Comments from the cousins.. AK, Faye, Phatboy Joe are good. They love it except for Sis, she prefer the one with the biscuit base. Ooohhh… I don’t quite like those cos it is a heavy type of cheesecake. I still prefer to stick with this recipe … light and soft.

The whole cheesecake is a bit too big unless you want to bake it for a big party. I used a 9 inch spring form pan for this cheesecake. The next round I do I will half the recipe because this is just too big for me.

Ingredients:
140gm icing sugar
6 egg whites
6 egg yolks
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
50gm butter
250gm cream cheese
100mlfresh milk
1 tbsp lemon juice ( I also add in 1/2 lemon rind )
60gm cake flour ( I used self raising flour )
20gm cornflour
1/4 tsp. salt

Method :
1. Melt cream cheese, butter and milk over a double boiler. Cool the mixture. Fold in the flour, cornflour, egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon rind and mix well.
2. Whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Add in the sugar and whisk until soft peaks form.
3. Add the cream cheese mixture to the egg white mixture and mix well. Pour into a 9-inch round springform pan (Lightly grease and line the bottom and sides of the pan with greaseproof baking paper or parchment paper).
4. Bake cheesecake in a water bath for 1 hours 10 minutes or until set and golden brown at 160 DC.

Chilled Mango Cheesecake (1)

Made Chilled Mango Cheesecake last weekend. I realized my Dad love cheesecakes and he had most of it. So next time, I will make more for him. I tried to finished up the cream cheese I bought from the baking shop. Search for the recipe and I am using the one from Amy Beh. It is indeed a very simple cheesecake and it is pretty easy to do it. Actually I felt so bad when Dad kept telling me the cheesecake is very good and very nice. What I could think off maybe he have not buy one before from the cake house because it is so expensive and a slice of it will cost you RM7.00 ( the one from Secret Recipe). Since my kids love it too, I will do it more often for them.  

Ingredients :
200gm digestive biscuits, crushed
60gm melted butter
1 1/2 tbsp gelatine powder
4 tbsp water
300gm cream cheese, thaw to room temperature
125gm castor sugar
125ml whipping cream
350gm mango, pureed

Method:
1. Grease a 20cm spring form pan. Put crushed biscuits in a mixing bow. Pour in melted butter and stir well with a metal spoon till evenly mixed.
2. Press the biscuit crust onto the base of the spring form pan with the back of the metal spoon. Flatten and smoothen the biscuit base all around. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
3. Sprinkle gelatine over water. Set aside until it turns spongy. Place bowl over hot water until the liquid turns clear. Set aside.
4. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy.
5. Add dissolved gelatine mixture to mango puree. Whip up whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add mango puree to cream. Set aside.
6. Combine mango puree mixture with cream cheese mixture. Smoothen the top with spatula. Chill overnight till firm.

Note : I’ve added some cut mango into the cheesecake too.

Cheesecake Brownies

I baked this Cheesecake Brownies for Vonne’s Farewell Party 2 weeks ago. Time really flies and she is now in UK for almost 2 weeks. My kids will definately miss this short hair Yee Yee dearly. Her Dad throw her a farewell party at Ah Mah;s house and it is some sort of potluck party with lots of foods to eat. Wah it is too much and I didn’t even get to try all of it. Click HERE to see what we have and you will be surprised it is just like a buffet spread at the hotel. Hahaha…

I get this Cheesecake Brownies recipe from Gertrude’s blog and the cake turn out real good. Kids at home love it a lot maybe its because it is chocolaty and cheese! Oh so sinful to have a slice of it and I am getting fatter and fatter. The Cheesecake Brownies is the big hit among the kids and they really love it but one thing they complaint to me that it is not enough cheese. So the next round I think I need to get atleast 2 blocks of cream cheese. You can check out the recipe from HERE.

Chilled Mango Cheesecake

The kids at home already get bored with my cupcakes. :(  Dad asked me to bake a cake for Mom’s birthday and the kids at home requested me to do a cheesecakes. Wow… this is the first time I did a cheesecakes. So here I go to make this Chilled Mango Cheesecakes and didn’t know it turned out so well for a first timer like me. If I can do it anyone also can do it. Did a mistake for the cheesecake as I uses a too big round spring form tin. Ended up, the cake is not as high as it is. But thank god, the kids at home love it and asked me to do this more often. Aduiii… cream cheese very expensive leh. Hahaha… Vonne and Joe love it a lot and I am going to do another one for Vonne’s farewell party. Click here and see how happy is my Mom together with all her grandchildren.
