White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake

Hi Everyone, were you just thinking you'd like a bite of cheesecake without the bother of water baths or a hot kitchen?

Today i would like to share the cheesecake that don't require baking. Satisfy your sweet tooth without heating up your kitchen.

You could prepare the cheesecake base and freeze it in the graham cracker crust on  one day, and then plan on serving it the next.

This is a classic, scrumptious strawberry cheesecake laced with orange liqueur ( or frozen orange concentrate) and garnished with cut strawberries around the side. And it's easy crazy to make.

This strawberry/ orange cheesecake is a gland slam. yum yum.......

Enjoy!

Happy birthday to my friend.

One 6 inch round x 2 inch tall (15cm x 5cm) cake

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/4 cup heavy cream (300ml: 290g)

• Sweetened condensed milk:

• 1/4 cup for vanilla ice cream (76g)

• 7 tablespoons for chocolate ice cream (133g)

• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Now whip 1 1/2 cup of heavy cream until stiff.

And divide the cream: 2 parts for vanilla ice cream, 3 parts for chocolate ice cream.

Add in 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to 2 parts cream. And fold delicately until homogeneously combined. Transfer to a pastry bag and store in the refrigerator.

In a cup add in 7 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk and add in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until homogeneously mixed. Add in 3 tablespoons of whipped cream from remaining 3 parts and whisk to make it thinner.

Pour the cocoa-milk mixture into the remaining 3 parts and delicately fold until mixed. Now transfer to a pastry bag.

Then draw a middle circle with vanilla cream first. And draw outer circle and fill in the center with cocoa cream. The circle should be thick enough, so pipe with confidence. And flatten a little. This is the first layer.

Now draw a middle circle with cocoa cream. Then fill the remaining area with vanilla cream. Flatten a little. The second layer.

Now draw a middle circle with vanilla cream. And fill the remaining area with cocoa cream. This is the same with the first layer. Flatten a little.

Finish by covering the top with remaining cocoa batter and cleaning with an offset spatula.

Now freeze overnight.

Out of freezer remove the ring and the plastic wrap. And turn the cake upside down.

Vanilla Butter Cake

I have not been consistent in keeping up with my blog lately. Thank you for not forgetting about me completely while i wasn't able to post for the past few months, but i promise it won't be like that forever.

Today i make a recipe and i'm happy with it and ready to share. I'm here now and i'm so pleased you are too. xoxo

Let's talk about my 1st Vanilla Butter Cake. I adore butter cake a lot , this is really fluffy, moist and sinful.  I was so surprised that's turned out to be so scrumptious.

This is not the 1st time I bake Butter Cake. But, this is a special one. The recipe that I'm gonna stick to it. To look at, I'll grant you, this is not a joyous creation, but moist and old-fashioned taste is all the more heightened for being unforeseen. 

Because of high content of butter in the cake, please make sure get a block of good butter (eg. Lurpak, President or SCS). Please don't use cheap butter. I always believe you get what you paid for. 

Please try this recipe. you won't regret.

Enjoy baking ''

200g Eggs (no shell) - About 4 eggs (Grade B). 
50g + 150g Castor Sugar
200g Self raising flour, sifted
60ml Fresh Milk 
1 tsp Vanilla Essence 

Note : 
1. Wendy used 230g butter for this cake only. But I used 250g. Because I'm lazy, I just close my eyes and throw in the whole block of butter. 
2. I used Seng Choon eggs for all my cake baking. 4 eggs weighed about 240g (with shell)
3. I used Magnolia fresh milk. 
4. I don't have Vanilla Pod nor Vanilla Paste at home. So, I just play-cheat. Used Vanilla Essence instead. I feel bad about it. 

Method 
1. Pre-heat oven at 180C (Conventional).

2. Prepare a 8 x 8 inch square pan. Line the base, grease the sides.

3. Separate egg whites & yolk. Beat egg whites until soft peaks, gradually add 50g sugar and beat until stiff. 

4. Cream butter and 150g sugar until pale and fluffy. Add in Vanilla essence, beat for awhile, and followed by egg yolks one at a time.

5. Put in half the flour and mix on low speed until incorporated. Add in milk in 2 additions and mix until well incorporated. Mix in balance flour. 

6. Put in half the egg whites in and mix on low speed. Pour the balance egg whites in and FOLD using your spatula. 

7. Pour batter into pan and level. 

8. Bake for 45 minutes or until skewer comes out clean.
