Home-baked Cheesecake Challenge : Flavour #16-17 touch of pinay

Trying a new concept in cheesecake baking is a difficult task for me, but I’ll keep on trying anyway 🙂 and so my next adventure is to give it a touch of Filipino taste. I like to do it as easy as possible so, I went to asian supermarket and tried shopping for an instant mix of Bibingka ( a Filipino rice cake).

Home -baked Cheesecake Challenge : Flavour #15 Crispy Cheesecake

The voice of my youngest son echoing in my ears today,..” mom, go beyond your recipe, be different…not all the same shape of cheesecake!” Well, not exactly the same words but I got his message. 🙂 So here is my cheesecake no. 15 : Crispy Cheesecake ,different concept but still home-baked!

Crispy Cheesecake

Ingredients:

Crust:

Spring rolls wrapper

1 egg and 1 tbsp water

3 Cheese fillings:

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup low-fat Feta cheese

6 pieces of Kiri cream cheese

Topping:

Fresh Strawberry gel

Powder sugar

Pre- heat oven mark gas # 3

Prepare the muffin baking tin, brush it with ghee (butter),set aside.

Cut the spring rolls wrapper into one big circle and 4 small circles.Beat egg and water, brush the inner part of the big circle and the back and front of small circle of spring rolls wrapper.

one big circle and 4 small circles of spring roll wrapper

Meanwhile, combine and mix the three cheeses, scoop the mixture into one medium ball and placed it into the cut out spring roll wrapper (big one) then add the four small circles making it look like rose petals. Arrange all in the prepared baking tin.

Kiri, mozzarella,Feta cheese

combine all 3 cheeses

I also used one aluminium baking tin, just to know the difference but I found out, as long as the small petals (small circles) are tack well , it won’t fall off.

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

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,

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!

a bite of delicious pop!

and another bite!

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!
