Fruity No-bake Cheesecake

Fruity No-bake Cheesecake

Ingredients:

  • 150g Graham Cracker or Oreo Cookies
  • 30g melted butter
  • 250g Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  • 110g sugar
  • 250ml *fruit juice
  • 110g fresh *berries
  • 400ml whipped cream
  • 10g gelatine (melted in warm water)

How to make:

1. Combine prepared crumbs (graham or oreos) with the melted butter. Press on bottom of 9 inch springform pan.Kalau guna Oreos, make sure you guys scrape off the cream, and you guys boleh guna cream tu untuk ganti gula.After that you guys can cut back the amount of sugar in the recipe.

2. Beat the cream cheese with sugar in bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. TIPS: Before mixing the cream cheese,wrap the cream cheese dalam plastic wrap and panaskan dalam microwave for 10-20sec.

3. Whisk in fruit juice*, crushed fresh or frozen berries, and whipped cream. Make sure you guys whipped siap2 before campurkan dgn juice tadi. Or if you guys boleh carik Kraft Cool Whip topping,get the 1liter size and used all of it.

4. Mix in the gelatine yang dah dicairkan dalam air panas/suam into the cream cheese mixture.

5. Pour over prepared crust. Freeze until firm. Remove from freezer and let stand in refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.

I got the recipe from KRAFT Canada and alter it a bit sebab I didn’t have any Cool whip. Try la, sebab cake ni sangat la senang nk buat and only takes about 10-20mins to prepare.

Seperti biasa..SELAMAT MENCOBA! -D

*fruit juice can be orange,apple..etc. Ikut selera masing2

*berries can be either strawberries,blueberries etc. You can use frozen ones kalau tak ada yang fresh

A couple of Scones( Skon? ) for Breakfast

Choc Scone

Ingredients:

  • 175ml milk
  • 1tbsp lemon juice
  • 75g butter
  • 3 g baking soda
  • 500 g all-purpose flour
  • 170 g white sugar
  • 5 g baking powder
  • 0.8 g cream of tartar
  • 5 g salt
  • 225 g butter
  • 1 egg
  • 150g chocolate chips or chocolate chunks(optional)

How to Make:

1. Blend the milk,lemon juice and 75g butter(melted). Let sit for awhile until lumps appear and milk starts to thicken.Then add in baking soda, and set aside. (Milk,lemon juice and butter sebenarnye substitution utk sour cream.But if you guys ada krim masam kat rumah, then guna 230g )

3. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in the butter.

4.Stir the milk mixture and egg into the flour mixture until just moistened.

5.Mix in choco chips. Here you guys boleh ganti dengan raisins,fresh blueberry,walnuts etc. Ikut la you guys nk scone you guys inti apa)

6.Turn adunan tadi onto a lightly floured surface, and uli briefly.Jangan uli lebih2 sangat or scone akan jadi keras.

7.Roll dough into a 3/4 inch thick round. Cut into 12 wedges, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

8. Bake 12 to 15 minutes in a pre-heated(180degress) oven,until brown.

Here’s an idea, utk bg scone jadi a bit more moist:

1. Add about 100g of cream cheese and kurangkan milk mixture td jadi separuh.

Tips:

Masa masukan susu, check the texture of the adunan. Jangan sampai adunan terlalu lembik. Kalau agak2 adunan tu dah start berkumpul(hold shape), then stop adding the milk.Kalau banyak sgt susu, nanti scone nya susah nk naik mase bakar.

So, Selamat Mencuber!

Chocolate Cake ( Kek Coklat )

Ingredients:

  • 290g flour
  • 150g cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1tbsp baking powder
  • 1tbsp baking soda
  • 675g sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1tbsp vanilla extract
  • 230ml milk
  • 2tbsp lemon juice
  • 170g butter
  • 250ml strong coffee

How to make:

  • Sift together all the dry ingredients;flour,cocoa powder,baking powder,baking soda,salt.
  • Stir in sugar. Sukatan gula ni quite banyak, so if you guys rasa tanak manis sgt,you can always lessen the amount.
  • Combine eggs and vanilla essence in a different bowl. You guys kena make sure that the eggs are at room temperature. Kalau bawak kluar straight from fridge let it warm up to suhu bilik dulu baru guna.
  • Mix in the eggs into the dry ingredients.
  • In another bowl, add milk and lemon juice. Actually, this is to substitute buttermilk. Since buttermilk ni susah juga nk carik,you guys can always use this substitution.Let the milk sit for awhile, sampai susu tu jadi pekat sedikit.
  • Melt the butter.
  • Add in milk(buttermilk tadi),melted butter and coffee ( coffee ni boleh guna Nescafe yang dah dicampur dgn air ) to the dry ingredients.
  • This batter will bake you two 9-inch(23cm) cakes. So kalau nak buat satu je,then separuhkan all the ingredients diatas.
  • Bake in pre-heated oven (180degrees) for about 50mins or so. You guys kena make sure that you guys preheat the oven dulu. This is very important in order to make sure cake korang bakar naik dengan elok, and doesn’t sink in the middle.
  • Transfer pans to a wire cooling rack. Make sure that you guys let the cake cool off completely before doing any decorations on the cake.

I found this recipe after purchasing a book on Cake decorations from Amazon.com:

Buku ni is mainly on how to make decorations for you cake, but inside are also a few recipes on cakes,fondants,buttercream etc. Agak menarik. And I tell you, the chocolate cake is AMAZING!

Sila la cuba resepi kek coklat ni. And if you find some of the ingredients terlebih ke terkurang ke, you can always make adjustments based on you own taste.

Happy Baking!

KitchenAid Bowl Lift Stand Mixer
Kitchen Aid Bowl Lift Stand Mixer

I bought it on an acution about a few months back. This babe is superb! Setakat ini,semua benda yang I baked/cooked using bahan2 yang digaul pakai Mixer ni menjadi..you name it;cake,scones,pie crust,pizza crust, roti,cookie..etc. They’ll turn out just perfect!

Masa shipment ni sampai, in the box was also included a handy recipe book. This book guides you on how to use which tools masa mixing your ingredients using KitchenAid Stand Mixer. The recipes yg ada dlm buku tu pun quite menarik,simple and easy to follow; with step-by-step instructions.

To those yang seriously suka buat2 kek, cookies, roti etc..U guys should really get one of these. Sangat berbaloi for the long run. It’s heavy duty (depends on the models though..but MOST of them are)
and sgt senang utk digunakan.

Some of the pros and cons about the KitchenAid Stand Mixer:

    PROs

1.Consistent mixing,which will results in great texture for whatever that you’re cooking/baking.
2.Easy to use
3.You’ll get 3 attachments: Flat Beater mostly utk adun cake, Wire Whip utk buat whipped cream or whisk meringue, and Spiral Dough Hook utk uli adunan roti.
4.You can attach other stuff to the head of the Stand mixer, such as Pasta maker,Grain Mill etc

    CONs

1.It’s quite big and heavy so a bit hard to move it around.
2.The noise it makes during mixing can be a bit disturbing.

Setakat ini,this is what I can say about the KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Like I said earlier,if you guys are into baking stuff in the long run, then maybe paying some extra cash for a good Stand Mixer is really worth the money.

I highly recommend this product. :D

Substitutions untuk bahan-bahan memasak

Leave a reply

Here’s a great link I found on the net for substutions:

http://www.baking911.com/pantry/subs_dairy.htm

Banyak juga cara-cara nak menukar or mengganttikan bahan2 utk memasak especially utk membakar kek, biskut etc.

So,kalau ada bahan yang dalam recipe yang kita tak ada di dapur, bolehlah gantikan dengan benda lain yang lebih simple.

For example, after Ain commented on my cheesecake recipe on how to ganti sour cream, I found out that ada beberapa cara utk menggantikan sour cream(krim masam):

  • 3/4 cup buttermilk plus 1/3 cup butter or

    margarine (melt, cool and add to buttermilk)

  • 1/3 cup buttermilk, 1 tablespoon lemon

    juice, and 1 cup cottage cheese-blended until smooth

  • 3/4 cup milk, 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice, and

    1/3 cup butter or margarine (melt, cool and add to milk)

  • 1 cup plain yogurt or reduced-fat sour cream (will lower fat in recipes and alter the texture and taste)

    • So, to those yang tak berapa pasti nak menggantikan what with what, boleh lah check kat webpage ini. I found it very useful -)

    New York Baked Cheesecake Recipe

    New York Baked Cheesecake

    NY cheesecake

    Ingredients:

  • 1 pack of phillidelphia cream cheese (250g)
  • 200g of sour cream
  • 200ml whipped cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 90g sugar
  • a few drops of vanilla oil
  • 20ml lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon of cornstarch
  • 300g of Graham crackers
  • 50g melted butter

    • How to make:

    1. Wrap the cream cheese in sunwrap and put in the microwave oven for about 1-2 minutes. The microwave setting has to be at low, and the cream cheese should be warm and soft enough that it will leave a mark when you lightly touch the surface.

    2. Cream the cheese with sugar. Then gradually add the sour cream to the mix. Make the sour cream into 4,5 portions and add it one at a time,evenly mixing it out. Avoid adding the whole sour cream at one time.

    3. Then, add in the vanilla oil and eggs. Eggs should also be added one by one.

    4. Sift in the cornstarch and lastly, add in the whipped cream to the mix. You have to make sure that you mix everything well, and avoid having any lumps in the mix.

    5. Crunch the Graham cookies using a food processor into fine bits. Melt the butter and add into the crushed Graham cookies. Press frimly onto the base of the baking pan evenly.

    6. Take a flour sifter and pour in the mix into the pan through the sifter. This is to avoid any remaining lumps from going into the pan, and making the mix spread out nicely.

    7. Bake in a preheat oven (180degress) for 30 minutes. The technique of baking the cheesecake is to put boiled water around the pan. Avoid putting to much water, and if you’re using a spring type pan, make sure you wrap your pan with aluminium foil to avoid water from going into the pan. Baking at 180degress will give your cake a nice brown color on the top.

    8. Next is to bake it at 160degress for another 30 minutes. This is to make sure that the inside of the cake is cooked. Total baking time is approximately 1hour.

    9. Once finished baking, wrap the cake and put it in the refrigerator to chill.

    I did this recipe quite a while ago, and had always been my favourite cheesecake recipe eversince.Coba,coba jangan tak coba.A simple recipe that I’m sure anyone can do it at a small amount of time -)
