  • Home-baked Cheesecake Challenge : Flavour no.11 Double C Cheesecake

    Does it sounds like double cheese burger? 🙂 I named my Flavour # 11 Double C Cheesecake because, I made a Coconut macaroons tart then I scooped a baked cheesecake  and use dark chocolate as toppings. Coconut and chocolate make a double “C”. 😉

  • Home baked Cheesecake Challenge: Flavour #10 Cherry cheesecake

    Flavour no. 10 Cherry Cheesecake
    Flavour no. 10 Cherry Cheesecake

    Cherries are popular toppings for cheesecake, so I thought why not combine it? I use the regular recipe for cheesecake and  open a can of cherry filling, strained the syrup and placed the cherries between the cheesecake filling and drop a small ball of syrup around the top, one inch apart then connect it by making a line between with a toothpick.

  • Home-baked Cheesecake Challenge – Flavour # 9 Heart Cheesecake

    My youngest son came to visit for two days and one night, I made him Japanese cheesecake and an avocado cheesecake. Not to mention two favourite Filipino dishes of his. Imagine having those…happiness overload 🙂 and to top it all, he made a demo on how to make a mini chocolate cupcake! Of course we, were not able to finish all, so , what to do with the left over cheesecake?

    I cut it out to a mini heart cheesecakes…it’s Valentines and this is a labor of love. 🙂 He did the demo, an hour before he leaves to airport. Hmmm so yummy and I am so filled with happiness too! Having him for a couple of days was a lot fun and loving moments.So I named this as ” HEART Cheesecake”.

    Well, I wish I can share the french recipe but I don’t know how to translate it in English. What I knew, he used dark chocolate, 10 eggs..yes you read it right 10 eggs!! Flour and sugar.

    Sorry ladies, I was just in a mist of mixed emotions seeing him enjoying what he like most in the kitchen.

    Mothers! do i have to say more?

  • Home-baked Cheesecake Challenge: Flavour #2 Ube Cheesecake

    Flavour # 2 Ube Cheesecake
    Flavour # 2
    Ube Cheesecake

    Ube (purple yam) is a popular dessert in Philippines. I remember my mom used to cooked it as “meryenda” (snack) but I ate it morning, afternoon and evening ;-). For my Flavour no.2, I thought why not? Ube Cheesecake!

    Well, I can use a preserve purple jam (yam) but i prefer to use a fresh one like my mom did when I was young (not too long ago 🙂 ) so, after looking around, I found a fresh roots in Asian Supermarket called (Sarawat).

    I boiled and mashed it. Mixed it with evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla and margarine. For more authentic tagalog (Filipino) taste, I used star magarine.

    I wished I can take pictures, steps by steps but it is hard to cook and take pictures in between,so here are my ingredients:

    Digestive cookies,cream cheese,sour cream,vanilla powder,star margarine,thick cream
    Digestive cookies,cream cheese,sour cream,vanilla powder,star margarine,thick cream

    Basically all ingredients and directions are the same as flavour no. 1 ( Dulce de Leche Cheesecake) except I reduced the sugar to 1 cup only. I have to take care of my belly, this is only the second flavour, imagine after I am done with fifty flavours huh!

    After testing the Ube cheesecake bites, I found reducing the sugar to 1 cup is not advisable. I guess 1 1/3 cup is alright as long as I reduced my bites and give all the remaining cheesecakes to my staff and neighbours , my happy belly is safe! 🙂

    hmmm nice colour and sweet smell
    huh! i can’t resist ..i have to take another bite
    trying my luck to pipe cream on top
    I love the combination of colours
    Ube Cheesecakes anyone?

    I was asked why I baked? Well, after a long day of fixing cavities on my patient’s tooth, making a new smile , it’s about time to fixed my own “Sweet tooth” yep! it is like a stress reliever, besides it is  fascinating to find out, how the cakes will turn out, the taste, the decoration and the verdict of the taster , these are exciting to note.

    After all the baking and eating..the sad part is to wash the dishes!

    hard part of baking :-)

    At the end of the day, I still love my job as a Cosmetic Dentist!

    Thank you Ladies 😉
