CHOMP DOWN THOSE FOOD!!!!!!

Wow. I can’t believe that I am doing this right now. I, for one, is somebody who doesn’t really like to blog. & yet, I am inspired by all the food blogs all over the world. 

Thus, I have made up my mind to start this blog, so that I can share with people the goodies that I have learnt & also to inspire more people to bake! (Just like those awesome bloggers inspire me!)

So here goes my first post:

It has always been my dream to bake/make a cheesecake. I am definitely an avid fan of them!

When I first read about the post on yogurt no-bake cheesecake on my wok life, my first thought was “Wow. Cheesecake with yogurt. You don’t even have to bake!” So, I favourite it, & tried it one day. 

& now, this no-bake cheesecake is a fave in my family!

Recipe adapted from: 

www.mywoklife.com

Changes that I made:

More digestive biscuit (Just because my mum thinks 8 isn’t enough for her.)

Reduce the sugar.

My butter wasn’t melted (When I first did the cheesecake, I didn’t see that the butter needs to be melted. Hahaha! So, as I have tried this recipe many times, w/o melting the butter, I shall just go ahead & ignore my mistake!)

You’ll need:

80g butter

10 digestive biscuit

250g cream cheese

1/3 cup yogurt

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp gelatin (powdered)

4 tbsp warm water

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

{1} To make crust: 

Coarsely chop digestive biscuit.

Mix with butter, & finely crush biscuits with fork.

Press biscuit mixture firmly into the base of your cake tin.

Store in freezer.

{2} Mix gelatin into warm water.

Let in set down for 5 min, then stir till dissolved.

{3} Put cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, vanilla essence & gelatin into large mixing bowl.

Beat mixture at low speed until well-blended & smooth.

{4} Spoon filling over crust & refrigerate until firm.

[Psst, I will post the pictures next time when I make the cheesecake!]

Now, here are some super duper random facts about cheesecake:

The origin of cheesecake is believed to have originated in ancient Greece.  History has the first recorded mention of cheesecake, as being served to the athletes during the first Olympic Games held in 776 BC. 

However, the origin of cheesecake being made with cream cheese was said to have been by Arnold Reuben, owner of the legendary Turf Restaurant at 49th and Broadway in New York City.Legend has it that he was served a cheese pie by a friend which he immediately fell in love with it.  From his friend’s recipe, he began to develop his own recipe which he eventually began to serve at his restaurant.

I shall end my post here. Hope you guy out there will enjoy this awesome recipe like I do! Till the next time folks!
