I twitted the other day that I made a cake for Valerie's birthday.
We went for hotpot + Korean BBQ buffet (again)!
It was my first attempt on a no-bake cheesecake and was a success!!!
I wanted to literally BAKE a cheesecake as I'm more familiar with that but decided to give the no-bake recipe a try. It didn't fail me!
This is what I call: The Princessy Oreo Cheesecake
A no-bake cheesecake is one which doesn't require any baking if you haven't know. Usually uses
gelatin to semi- solidify the cake without the process of baking. So for people who do not have any oven at home, could consider a no-bake recipe.
Here is the recipe:
OREO CHEESECAKE
1. 12 pcs Oreo cookies, finely crushed (for crust)
2. 10 pcs Oreo cookies, crushed (for filling)
3. 2 blocks 250g Philadelphia cream cheese
8. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1. Bring cream cheese out to soften to room temperature (at least 1 hour).
2. Crush Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag with the back of the rolling pin.
3. Melt butter in a bowl over a larger bowl of boiling water.
4. Mix melted butter with crushed cookies (for crust) and press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan with the back of a spoon or measuring cup. Chill.
5. Dissolve gelatin with 1/4 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
6. Whip whipping cream in a mixing bowl over a larger bowl of ice water (to prevent the cream from melting into water or turning into butter form).
7. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar with a whisk / electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Fold in lemon juice, dissolved gelatine, whipped cream and crushed cookies (for filling).
8. Pour filling into the prepared crust. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
