    I used a canned guava to top the cheesecake, I didn’t like the taste at all, I think fresh guava puree is better in taste.

    2014-10-25 at 13-48-20

    The guava puree settled at the bottom of the cheesecake. 🙂 yummy!

    Ladies, use the over ripe guava for easy puree.Enjoy!

    Cheers,

  • Home baked Cheesecake: Flavour # 47 Tamarillo-Kiwi Cheesecake

    Count down …3

    Tamarillo and Kiwi
    Tamarillo and Kiwi

    I was looking for an exotic flavour for my 47th Cheesecake, another suggestion came from my friend who suggested Tamarillo.. huh! another fruit that I am not familiar with 🙂 I have learned that this fruit is a good source of Vitamin C and has low-fat and calories content.Hmmm good to try!

    As I opened one and tasted it, at first I thought… yaks! but as I ate more, it’s more like a tomato juice, alright if lemon cheesecake is a hit? why not this one? Would it be safe to add Kiwi? Yes! indeed great combination!

  • Weekend At Rabigh -Saudi Arabia

    I haven’t posted my Dubai trip last week yet, yes! I was out of Jeddah, KSA again..hurray! It is always a treat to be out of this shell, Oh how I wish it will be forever!

    2014-11-21 at 11-23-36

    Anyhow, my friends and I were planing a weekend trip for a long time now, so even though I just came back from Dubai and needed a rest, I didn’t miss this happening! And I was right! This place is awesome as if we’re not in Saudi Arabia. And to be surrounded with friends is a bonus in itself!

    2014-11-21 at 11-34-58

    We left Jeddah late at night and woke up early to catch the sunrise at the beach. I learned the coconut trees were taken from the Philippines, great!

    The place is so serene, as if the place was reserve for us only. there was a couple of families fishing along the edge and a few women who are still wearing their abaya, strolling along the beach.

    2014-11-21 at 12-31-53 I was having headache all day and took medicine every 4 hrs., but still manage to enjoy the place and my friends company.

  • Home baked Cheesecake: Flavour #46 Buko pandan Cheesecake

    Countdown…4

    Buko pandan is a very popular dessert in Filipino gathering. Buko (young coconut meat) pandan (tropical plant in Asia usually used in cakes to give a beautiful aroma and green colour) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandanus_amaryllifolius.

    Flavour no 46 Buko Pandan Cheesecake
    Flavour no 46
    Buko Pandan Cheesecake

    In buko pandan salad, I usually mixed the pandan essence with the gulaman (jelly) and this is exactly what i did in this mini cheesecake.

    First, I mixed the coconut juice about 1 cup with a small packet pandan flavoured jelly, let it boiled for few minutes, I didn’t add any sugar in the mixture, thinking the calories I gonna have when I eat all cheesecake hahaha of course, You can always add (at your own risk!) ;-). Keep it aside and once its solid, cut it into any shape, I choose- heart shape!

    hmmm i love fresh coconut juice

    To make it more authentic, I used otap as a crust ( a small oval shape puff pastry- made with a mixture of flour,coconut,shortening and sugar)

    with otap crust

    Ingredients:

    Crust:

    1 pkg of otap biscuits, crushed

    2 tbsp of unsalted butter

    filling:

    2 pkg (250g ea) Philadelphia Cream cheese

    1/2 cup plain yoghurt

    1/2 cup white sugar

    3 eggs

    1 tsp pandan essence

    1/3 cup condensed milk

    shredded young coconut meat

    1 drop green food colour

    Topping:

    Gulaman (jelly) pandan flavoured

    1 cup coconut juice

    sugar (according to your taste)

    Directions:

    Pre heat oven Gas mark #3

    Crushed the otap,mix with melted butter and press crumbed mixture into the bottom of the springform pan, set aside.

    Beat cream cheese until fluffy, add sugar and yoghurt. Beat in eggs one at a time until well combine .Add shredded coconut meat,panda essence and condensed milk. Pour into the prepared pan. Baked for 45 minutes (if using small cupcake pan) 1hour and 30 minutes if using a normal 9 inches springform pan. Topped with a heart-shaped cut jelly and coconut meat, sprinkle with pandan powder mixed with fine caster sugar.

    yummy!
    yummy!

    Ladies, I divided the cheese mixture into two, one with green food colour and one with out. You can experiment any combination you want to make it more pleasing to the eyes, but this flavour is so yummy with or without colour

    otap is actually good to eat alone but its even more better with cheesecake

    Ladies,

    ” One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood ”

    – Lucius Annaues Seneca

    Thank you so much my friends.

    and at midnight receiving a call from my sons and read this message:

    ..
    Thanks for everything. Thanks for being a great parent no matter how rebellious i become. I like to believe that your level of understanding is better than anyone. Your wisdom matches no other. Even my own. My “smart know it all” version. You have carried kuya and i’s dreams so far. I just wanted to let you know on this special day that. Youve known that i always hated the idea of looking up to someone. But i would like to let u know that you have set the example so high there is no one else other than you to look up to. I was never great at getting gifts for you so yea.
    Thanks for all the love and support. Even on your birthday i can only remember all the great gifts you have given me.
    I know i don’t show it much but thanks for being a great parent/friend. I hope all the people you have cared for through these years have given you one amazing day.
    Happy birthday and much love to you.—–

    You bet..welling up till morning..so much happiness and blessings. Thank you Lord.

    Cheers,
