Oreo Cheesecake My Way - A totally haphazard way of cooking
-
because I've got a ton of work I should be doing, I have decided to attempt to make cheesecake instead. I decided to try out a non-bake cheesecake cos I am lazy to clean the oven.
List of INgredients: (pls judge quantity using intuition where its missing)
Base: Oreos, 1 packet of instant oats drink, butter (some tablespoons), condensed milk
Cheeseportion: 1 package cream cheese, 1 pkt whipped cream, 4 small packets of sugar, 1.5 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of choya, some leftover crumbs from base
Step 1: Hmm Crumble Oreo Cookies.
I put the cookies in a plastic bag and CRUSHED them using the bottom of my baking pan... It was quite satisfying...SMASH SMASH SMASH
Step 2: Mix crumbs with butter and sugar.
I put some butter in and decided in place of sugar, to put in a packet of instant oats cos that's quite sweet... and ... err I like oats. I tried to mix it but it was still rather crumbly (since I heck cared about the quantity proportion), I decided to put in some condensed milk cos its sticky.
Step 3: Crush and flatten into bottom of tin
I using muffin cups to make single servings. I don't have a muffin tray... I use the metal cups that people used to make 'chui guay'. look the same lah hor. so I put the muffin papercup into the metal cups and started squashing the mixture flat with a teaspoon. The consistency looks okay. The taste seems pretty okay too.
Step 4: Mix cream cheese with sugar
Recipe asked for 1/3 cup of sugar. My sugar is all finished except for those in mini-serve packets Husby got from the plane. I put 4 small packets in. Left remaining crumbs of base inside for mixing too.
Hmm.. my single speed mixer splattered the mixture. So I decided to cut the cream cheese up into small pieces and mix with my spoon first. The recipe asked for lemon juice which I don't have. My half-way drunk cup of mango juice is gone. So I looked in my frig for liquids. Aha! A months-old half drunk bottle of Choya! Alcohol shouldn't have expiry date right? Oops.. too late, I poured a tablespoon in already. Better don't check if there's an expiry date cos it's too late anyway. The recipe called for 2 tablespoonfuls of liquid.. so... Hmmm.... ok add another spoonful of milk. The entire mixture became much easier to mix
I cover my bowl with a lid and just let the mixer do it's job under the lid.
Step 5: Whip Whipping Cream
This is fun. BRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and voila! It's whipped cream!
Step 6: Fold the whipping cream in
How huh. How to FOLD whipped cream. I decided to haphazardly slice the whip cream and sticky cream cheese mixture. Seems to work. Oh well.
Step 7: Scoop onto base and freeze for an hour.
Okie. Scooped onto 9 little muffin tins. Hmm. Tastes okay still. Hope the stuff will solidy well! Will let you all know in a while

well I am using chui kwey container. Anyway I forgot completely abt the cheesecake last night and left it there till.. this morning!
To which I found out the poor fella had been completely frozen hard. Oh well~
I just moved it to the regular compartment for a bit of thawing...
and just now I took them out and tasted the leftover cream portion (i taking the rest back to mum's home for them in a while) and the cream portion tasted okay - light, a little fizzy which I suspect is the choya, not too sweet.
Looks quite cute though. Small little cheesecake thingy... good to bring for parties ba if u dont feel like cooking -
like cheeken has said..
ppppiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccture!
-

Sorry.. havent taken pictures yet... but feedback is such thaT it looks really ugly like some cement mouldy mixture on my cheap red and white colour muffin paper cups.
Actually my dad ask me "what's this? spoil already ah?" Heheheh cos u know oreo plus the cheese.. looks.. quite greyish .. ehhh
But hehehehehhe but after they tasted it, they all thought it was very nice!!! Even my grandma liked it!
They liked the instant oats in the pie base also I cut down on the sugar (cos mum and grandma is diabetic and shdnt be taking too much anyway) so it's not too sweet.. ... my grandma commented the cheese was a little sour tt is why nice... (i suspect my choya had gone bad liao.. become vinegarish mebbe) but I just smiled beatifically and said secret ingredient. Ahem!
Actually... choya cult leader.. tell me... how long can a open bottle of choya last uh?? I've had it since..... septemebr I think.
Humm. -
with the cult leader, i don't think a bottle, no matter how huge it is, will last long enough to see the week out, much less reach expiryOriginally posted by ShrodingersCat:Sorry.. havent taken pictures yet... but feedback is such thaT it looks really ugly like some cement mouldy mixture on my cheap red and white colour muffin paper cups.

Heheeh... oh well! Now we know it can last about half a year without killing anyone! (yet)Originally posted by the Bear:with the cult leader, i don't think a bottle, no matter how huge it is, will last long enough to see the week out, much less reach expiry -

She's so darn lucky I don't have her address!
And, see! CHOYA is so versatile, it goes with almost everything!!

Numa! Numa!! My bottle lasts me for a long, long time! About 1.5 to 2 months!
The only reason it lasts so long is because I feel it's pretty expensive and I'm on a tight budget now. Otherwise, I would be more liberal with my CHOYA servings! -

Hmmmm......
actually I don't drink it myself. Somehow, I never cultivated a taste for alcohol unless it is cooked. My brother got a bottle and it was in my frig fermenting for all those months still have a bit leh... -
I usually drink CHOYA mixed with other drinks, so it becomes a CHOYA cocktail.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:-looks under table cloth to see if anyone is hiding underneath-

Depending on my mood, I put a teeny wee bit of CHOYA to a tad more than usual. I seldom drink it neat, and if I do, I can't have too much of it cause to me, it's pretty strong. 15% alcohol but it kinda 'smarts' more than beer does.
Yeah... as you can gather, I'm not a drinker nor a guzzler... just a casual CHOYA cocktail imbiber!
