Cheese cake again?

Baked a cheese cake again on 19th 9.30p.m. since CNY 2009.
This time with a little help from my 2 girls, it took lesser time than i expected. They helped me to line the baking pan, crumb the biscuits, melting the butter, mixing the butter to the biscuit crumbs & making the cheese cake base.
And even as my photographer too... All these shots were taken by them.


This is the blended 500gm cream cheese + 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla & 2 eggs added one by one. Poured on the biscuit crumb base + melted butter. Very simple recipe with no flour or baking powder/soda... Not too sweet as well to suit my diabetic mother-in-law... The original recipe used 3/4 cup sugar.
























As I was too lazy to melt the chocolate, I'd just cut a few stripes of chocolate on it.
























Ta.. da... task completed after baking for 45 mins. Itz a nice one with no cracks on it, normally it'll crack on top (i do not know why, anyone know?)








Golden brown Cheese cake... Delicious













All finished the next day, even my hubby who dislike cheese tried some... maybe this cream cheese suits his taste-bud... Taste not too cheezy... I only managed to get a piece, all gone when I came back from work searching for it in the frige... Promised myself to make again...
