Speculoos Cheesecake

So I finally did something with the speculoos spread.

Made it into a cheesecake with the biscoff biscuits as the base! As usual I engaged my little boy for some help. I let him beat up the biscuits in the ziploc bag and he loved it so much! He said he was very excited hahaha.

This recipe was a campak2 recipe, I based on a few websites I saw, and pretty much used whatever I had in the fridge.

Speculoos Cheesecake

30 biscoff biscuits, crushed
25g melted butter

2x 8oz cream cheese
3 eggs
1/4 cup yoghurt
1/4 cup thickened cream
300g speculoos spread
150g sugar

Add melted butter to crushed biscoff biscuits, then transfer to an 8 inch springform pan and flatten to make the crust.

Use a mixer to mix the rest of the ingredients together, then pour into the pan and bake for about 50-55 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius. I was supposed to use a water bath method but my oven can't fit the 9x13 inch roasting pan hurhur.

It turned out fine, with some cracks near the sides, nothing a bit of cream can't cover up! I wanted to pipe speculoos whipped cream on top, but as usual I spoiled the cream, sorta curdled or maybe it didn't I don't know. I still have not mastered stiffening whipped cream grr.

Served to my family and my brother said it tasted like creme brulee cheesecake, my mum said it looked like kuih bakar and my dad said it tasted like some brown kuih melayu (my knowledge of kuih melayu is very limited). Must be the caramelised taste.

The cake turned out well, but it's not something I would do again because I love speculoos just as it is, in a cheesecake, not so.

Yesterday I made half a batch of Banana Walnut Muffins because I had 2 overripe bananas and yoghurt to finish. This is my go-to recipe for banana cakes now, since Husband totally approves of it :)

Next I have some apples and blueberries to be made into yummy goodies! I wonder if I can salvage the speculoos whipped cream and make some speculoos apple muffins.

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead. Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

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
