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”. 😉

Double C Cheesecake

I based my recipe of coconut macaroons tarts from Martha Stewart “Coconut Macaroon Tartlets” I used a different baking tin so it did not exactly looks like her tartlet …well it’s true not an excuse!! :-0

Ingredients:

Crust:

1 1/2 cup shredded desiccated coconut

2 large egg whites

1/4 cup sugar

Cheesecake filling:

300 G of Philadelphia cream cheese

250 ml thick cream

1 tsp vanilla powder

1 tbsp flour

2 egg yolk plus 1 whole egg

2 tbsp milk

Ganache:

250 ml thick cream

300 G dark chocolate

Pre heat oven mark # 3

Mix coconut,sugar and eggs until it holds together. Pressed the mixture into a muffin baking tin, make a well in the centre. Baked for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.

Combine cheese,sugar,thick cream and vanilla powder . Add flour. Mix thoroughly then add eggs one at a time. Mix just until combined and smooth. Pour into a baking thin. Baked for 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate for 2 hrs.

Heat thick cream until almost boiling, pour into crushed dark chocolate. Beat until all chocolate melted and smooth in mixture. Chill for another 20 minutes before placing it in piping bag.

Scoop the baked cheesecake into the macaroons tarts and top it with chocolate ganache.

Loving the flavour of chocolate and coconut.

Home baked Cheesecake Challenge: Flavour #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.

Serving Suggestions:

Am I making sense? 🙂 abs diet books and workout book? hahaha feeling guilty eating cheesecakes every week!

Cheers,

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?

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.

Home-baked Cheesecake Challenge: Flavour # 8 Avocado Cheesecake

Avocado

Avocado combined with condensed milk is a favourite snack of mine. We all know that avocado has a lot of healthy fat which our body needs. It also contains, potassium,Vitamin E,B and folic acid. I thought of combining it with my cheesecake recipe and amazingly it turned out very well.

Flavour No. 8 Avocado Cheesecake

Avocado Cheesecake

I used green food colour to a little mixture of avocado and condensed milk to make some swirl design, but if ever I’ll make this again. I’ll skip the food colour. It looks not very authentic!

Ingredients:

Crust:

12 pieces light digestive cookies

1 tbsp granulated sugar

6 tbsp of melted butter

Cheesecake filling:

600 g of Philadelphia cream cheese

300 g Mascarpone cheese

1 cup granulated sugar

250 ml thick cream

200 g sour cream

4 eggs

pinch of salt

2 tsp vanilla powder

Avocado Filling:

3 pcs Avocado

1 can condensed milk

Green food colour (optional)

Pre heat oven (mark Gas # 3)

Crush the biscuits and combine melted butter and sugar. Press it in the pan.

Meanwhile, peel the avocado, scoop and mash it with fork or in food processor. Combine condensed milk and half of the vanilla powder. Set aside.

Cream both Philadelphia and mascarpone cheese,add sugar, vanilla powder and a pitch of salt. Combine thick cream and sour cream, add to the mixture. add the eggs one at a time. Mix thoroughly.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan with crust, add half of the avocado mixture then the other half with green food colour, Swirl it with wooden toothpick .

I think to mix the avocado and the cheesecake mixture together will make the taste better, However, who doesn’t like avocado and cheese? I love the taste!. It’s so yummy!

Flavour no.8 Avocado Cheesecake

Serving Suggestions:

topped with cream and fresh avocado slices

with sugar sprinkles

with cream and biscuits

with orange marmalade,cream and biscuits

Home-baked Cheesecake Challenge: Flavour # 7 Japanese Cheesecake (Soufflé)

Cheesecake # 7 Souffle Japanese Cheesecake

A Souffle is a lightly baked cake made with egg yolk and beaten egg white combined with cheesecake. I was searching for my next Flavour and I got curious with the recipe (justonecookbook.com), actually I have tried the recipe with my Apricot Cheesecake but it failed and I ended up covering it with ganache chocolate and wallah! it became Flavour # 5.

To make the story short, I, jamilamimi will try.., and.. try again until I got it right! and yes! I did it!! Thank you nami!

Japanese Cheesecake

So soft , yummy and I was able to transfer it from one plate to another platter without a mess 🙂 I am definitely happy with my baking skills, it’s getting better by time.

Ingredients:

400 g cream cheese

6 tbsp granulated sugar

4 tbsp unsalted butter

6 egg yolk

200 ml heavy whipping cream

2 tsp lemon juice

8 tbsp all-purpose flour

3 tbsp apricot jam and 1 tsp water (for topping)

Meringue

6 egg whites refrigerated

10 tbsp granulated sugar

Please check out Nami at justonecookbook.com for detailed instructions. She made a clear steps by steps with photos. I diligently followed every steps, careful not to miss any as well as not to eat immediately. She recommends to eat it the following day which is alright with me because my youngest son is coming tomorrow for a two days holiday and this is my way of bragging, ” hey chef kevin. i can baked too! hahaha!

Serving suggestion:

top it with cherry and a dust of yellow and orange sugar on the side

glazed it with apricot jam

Enjoy!

Home-baked Cheesecake Challenge – Flavour # 5 Apricot Cheesecake

Fresh Apricot

Cream yellow, purple, orange and red, well what about the shade of apricot, taste nice and look nice too!

Flavour no. 5 Apricot Cheesecake

I thought of adding flour to the cheese mixture and I found a recipe of Japanese cheesecake @ justonecookbook.com and added fresh apricot and apple cider vinegar.

Ingredients:

2 package (300 g + 200g) of Philadelphia cheese

4 tbsp margarine

6 tbsp granulated sugar

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 pk (250ml) thick cream

3 pieces fresh apricot, slice thinly

6 egg yolk

8 tbsp all-purpose flour

Meringue:

6 egg white

8 tbsp granulated sugar

Topping:

3 tbsp apricot jam

1 tbsp water

Pre heat oven mark Gas #3

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, add the margarine and mix thoroughly, add egg yolk one at a time,add thick cream and mix well. Add apple cider, mix until smooth, shift the flour and add it all at once to the mixture.

In a separate mixing bowl, Beat the egg white until stiff, add the sugar slowly and once all the sugar has been added, beat it until glossy then add and fold in the cheese mixture.

Pour half of the batter to the prepared pan, top with slices of apricots and pour the remaining batter on top.

Baked for 1 hour and 30 min. Mix the apricot jam and water, heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Mix and brush on top the baked cheesecake. Leave it for another hour to cool down and refrigerate for another 3 hours before serving.

so soft!

delicious!

So deliciously softy and fluffy, I was so excited but…

it cave in!

I remember my son Kevin, I was asking him, how can I transfer the cake from pan to the platter? He said ” be brave in handling your cake mom! Oh my gosh! My cheesecake cave in…Well I got another idea!

Ganache Apricot Cheesecake pop

I scoop the cheese cake, form into small ball, dip it in ganache and chill!

Ladies, even though I failed on this one, I would still be doing the same thing, practice makes it perfect! isn’t it?

Hmmm, I am craving for more bites!! 🙂

Home-baked Cheesecake Challenge: Flavour # 4 Red velvet Cheesecake

Flavour # 4 Red Velvet Cheesecake

I always wonder why red? I searched and found out that it is basically a cocoa flavour and a red food colour…to add twist on it, instead of using cream cheese frosting, I thought of layering it with cheesecake.

Ingredients:

Red Velvet Layer

1 stick unsalted butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla powder

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 tbsp red food colouring

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

2 eggs

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

*** I did not add baking powder because I was afraid it will push the cheesecake layer up but I should have used baking soda to have more smooth texture. I guess 🙂 I am just experimenting here! I should have taken the opinion of my son’s girlfriend, she bakes a real velvet cup cake( @theabakescupcakes).

Cheesecake layer:

1 pk (300 g) Philadelphia cream cheese

2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk

1/2 cup condensed milk

a pinch of salt

1 pk (250 ml) thick cream

1/2 tsp vanilla powder

* yields 12 mini cheesecakes

Pre heat oven Gas # 3 ( 325 degrees or 165 degrees C )

Cream the butter, add sugar,vanilla,cocoa powder, food colour and apple cider vinegar, one at a time, mixing it thoroughly in every addition. Beat the 2 eggs and add it to the mixture. Add the egg yolk. Mix again.Fold in the flour until well combined. Pour the mixture into the silicone cupcake moulder.

For the cheesecake layer, the same direction as Flavour # 1, just cream the cheese and blend all the ingredients. Pour it on top of the red velvet layer.

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Red Velvet Cheesecake with red condensed milk on top

Add any fruit topping , I just put a small quantity of raspberry food colour in condensed milk and pour it on, hmmm so good “red breakfast” early morning.. 🙂

Serving suggestion:

Ladies, the colour matches your red lips too!
