Sweet treat No heat!


Ingredients
Biscuit Base:
  • 2 packs of 150g Oreo cookies
  • 50g melted butter
  • Round baking pan (8 inch x 8 inch x 2.5 inch)

Cream Cheese Mix:

  • 500g cream cheese
  • 1 cup castor/normal sugar
  • 250ml whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (1 med-size lemon)
  • 3 tsp gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

I know you're eager but before you start... Take out your butter & cream cheese to let it soften first!

Preparations

  1. Remove cream from Oreo cookies. Crush cookies to fine crumbs.
  2. Mix crumbs with melted butter thoroughly.
  3. Cover base of pan with aluminium foil. Spread biscuit mixture onto tray evenly and firmly. (I used the buttom of a glass to hammer it in. =p)
  4. Put into freezer for 30min.

Cream cheese!!

  1. Pour gelatin powder into warm water and let it "bloom" first. Then stir to dissolve. (I think it's easier to dissolve like this rather than stir immediately??) Add in lemon juice and stir mixture. (I added lemon zest i.e. grated skin of lemon. But don't so greedy until grate the white part. You have bitter cheesecake not my prob!) Cool to room temperature.
  2. Beat melted cream cheese with sugar and vanilla essence until creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until smooth. (Ok. For noobs, "smooth" means to whip till the cream actually turn from watery to puffy -- like those on cakes. It's ready if it sticks to your whisk/beater when you lift it out of your bowl.)
  4. Whip the 2 mixes together. Add lemon juice mix and stir thoroughly. To add crunchy texture to the cake, you can also throw in chopped Oreo cookies as you stir the mixture gently. (I'm not sure if you should WHIP or FOLD when you mix -- cos if i'm not wrong, if you WHIP, it'll beat the air outta your whipped cream. Meaning you just wasted your energy to whip it. I use the FOLD method -- i.e use your spatula to literally 'fold' the mix as if folding oragami.)
  5. Pour the mixture over your base and refrigerate for 5hrs. (Personally, I recommend you leave it overnight in the FREEZER. I didn't put in freezer and it was still rather soft after 5hrs.)
  6. Sprinkle cocoa powder (optional) on cake and.... ITADAKIMASU =p~~~
