Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Here's the recipe for the chocolate chip cheesecake I mentioned earlier!

Got this recipe from Fantastic Cheesecake - Kek Keju Hebat by Alex Goh. My auntie gave it to us cos she doesn't have use for it hahahaha. Made some adaptations. For the base I used leftover digestive biscuits instead of the recipe's Oreo base. Like any digestive cheesecake base, crumble the digestive biscuits and mix with melted butter and press on the base of the springform tin. I think I used about 80 to 100g of digestives and 80g of butter. Bake in oven 170 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes and cool.

Cheesecake:
500g cream cheese
140g sugar (hehe I ran out of white sugar so I topped up with brown sugar haha!)
20g flour
2 eggs
200g whipping cream
semi-sweet chocolate couvertures

Topping:
200g sour cream (recipe calls for 400g but I only had 200g with me)
3 tbsp condensed milk (recipe calls for 2 tbsp sugar but I ran out of sugar)
generous amount of chocolate chips!!!
  1. Mix and cream cheesecake ingredients well. Add chocolate chips last. Pour the batter on the crust. 
  2. Bake at 170 degrees Celsius at about 45 minutes or until almost set at the centre and slightly brown on the top. Remove cake from the oven.
  3. Mix sour cream and condensed milk until well blended and spread on the baked cheesecake.
  4. Place the cake in the oven again, bake for 10 more minutes at 160 degrees Celsius.
  5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips!
  6. Let it cool for about an hour, then refrigerate it overnight.

Baked cheesecake without the topping. Lovely brown colour! Still have a bit of cracks here and there though.


Spread sourcream + condensed milk on top of cake! And then return it to the oven.


Cake's all baked! Now the final touches of chocolate chips!! Yum yum :)

Final product. The recipe calls for orange zest but Other Half isn't fond of citrus flavour, he likes his cheesecake ALL cheese :) The recipe is a keeper! :)

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Stir Fried Udon

My baby loves this! Recipe adapted from here . 1 onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 packets udon noodles 1 carrot, julienned  250g mushrooms 2 chicken fillet, sliced 2 stalks spring onions 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp sushi vinegar (replacement for mirin) 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp artificial vinegar Recipe doesn't call for onion and garlic but those are pretty much base ingredients for stir fries so might as well. Made this for quick lunch for the kids since they were home alone. 

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
