    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

    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 piecesย 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 combineย 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 ย 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!

  • 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 ๐Ÿ™‚ ) 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

    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! ๐Ÿ™‚

    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 ย 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰
