It started out as just a simple hobby of mine, but, baking the best pastry has always been my dream. :)
I have always loved cheesecakes and, when I had tasted my very first cheesecake, I had been on a mission to create the most delicious cheesecake on the planet. :)
How I make my cheesecakes:
The Ingredients:
To make the best cheesecake, I need to use only the best ingredients I can find. From the cream cheese I use to what type of baking flour - I make sure that I only use the best out there.
For the filling, I use whole cream cheese, dairy creams and a secret ingredient to make it more scrumptious. :)
And for the crust, instead of going with the conventional Graham Cracker crumb crust, I use digestive cookies to bring out the flavor of the cheese cake filling.
The process:
I first prepare the digestive cookie crust. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and I put it on a flat surface (I usually use a spring form pan to for my cheesecakes). I then bake the crust first for 6 minutes while I prepare the filling.
They say that you need to put all your good emotions into baking to make more special and to have an emotional bond with your creation. This makes whatever your doing - whether it's cooking or baking - to taste more delicious. :) While mixing the ingredients together to make the filling, that is just exactly what I do hoping that it would taste better than those cakes that were made for the sake of just making one to sell.
After cooling the crust for about 5 mins, we are now ready to put the filling on top of the crust. And then the baking begins. :)
Baking takes patience. I bake my cheesecakes in a pre-heated oven for about 90 mins. And then we wait........
After 90 mins.. TADAAAAA!!!!!
Now it's ready for the toppings.. :)
For the toppings, I use sour cream and put a little sugar, lemon and a secret ingredient to make it more tasty. :)
But wait, it's not yet done....
For the pièce de résistance, a spread of blue berry smackers. :)
And there you have it.. :) Simply elegant and scrumptious blueberry cheesecakes :)
You can also have a simple slice of this heaven coz I accept made to orders for special occasions or for simple gatherings or just some random cravings. :) If blueberry is not, your thing, you can request for the topping of your choosing :)
