Oreo cheese cake


At last! I've managed to find this picture! This is non-bake oreo cheesecake that I made for him and his colleague. Tell you what, the appearance was so eye-catching that everyone was waiting for the dessert time! (hehe, I'm so proud of myself)

Anyway, I thought this is pretty simple and easy recipe that I would like to share with you...

Oreo Cheesecake
Ingredients:

Oreo Crust
16-20 oreo cookies, cream removed
100g butter

Filling
3 tsp gelatine, dissolved in 60ml water
About 80ml lemon juice
500g cream cheese, softened (I've always use mascarpone cheese)
130g castor sugar
240ml whipping cream

Steps:
1. Melt butter over medium heat and set aside.
2. Squash the oreo biscuits until finely crushed (you can try it on food processor), then transfer to a bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are moistened by butter. Transfer crumbs to a cake tin (about 8 inch loose bottom) and press firmly over base and refrigerate it for about 30 -40 minutes.
3. In a bowl, dissolve gelatine with 60ml water. Then add lemon juice into the gelatine and heat the mixture over a pot of simmering hot water until gelatin is totally dissolved. Set aside and let it cool.
4. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until creamy and pale. Add in whipping cream and continue to beat for another 3 minutes (to whip the whipping cream up).
5. Then, add the gelatine mixture and blend with mixer until just blended.
6. Get the base from the fridge and pour the cream cheese mixture over the base and chill overnight (preferably) or about 3-4 hours (until firm).
7. Once it is ready, remove the cake from the cake tin and start decorating your cheese cake with chocolate biscuit roll, melted chocolate and of course some bit and pieces of oreo biscuit!

I tried the recipe ady!! :D It is reallly niceeee!!! But then, a bit sour (for me) - though others said its not sour... and a bit not too firm... plus.. at first its kinda hard to cut it.. I think the base was too hard still.. plus it melted.. *sobs*

Any advice or ideas how to improve??

Thanks for the advice in advance!! :D :D

p.s. Keep posting up the recipes.. I promise to try them out.. (got special helper+eater) TEEHEE!

A bit sour? Probably different people would like different kind of taste. If you think yours is abit sour, then you should reduce the amount of lemon juice needed in this recipe.

Base is too hard? The only reason I can think of is, you must have press it very hard on the cake tin! :) Well, no worries, everything has got its first time! I would suggest you not to press the cookies crumb over the base that hard.

About the filling, I'm not too sure why too! Probaly you can try keepin in the fridge a bit longer. Or even use a bit more gelatine.

Let me know after all these changes! Good luck.

I tried it also last weekend - 2nd version after the initial flop :S

Made some modification from V1:
I use 60ml of lemon juice, inco-operate 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence,60 gm butter for the biscuit crumbs. Maybe i can reduce the sugar to 100gm to suit the diabetic taste at home :D
Threw in chunks of oreo biscuits and serve it with the crushed oreo bits on top.

I am thinking of trying out mascarpone cheese instead of the usual Phil Cream cheese for another round this weekend. Lemme check the $$ and how much it differs first :D
What is the difference yea?

What other cheesecakes to bake ha? :D
Thanks for patiently standing by at MSN while i was doing it.
