A few weeks ago was when I started spending more time in my kitchen. It all started when I found it was my mother in law's (MIL) birthday. I wanted to make her a cheesecake since my dh had told me that his family loves cheesecake. I didn't want to make the traditional New York Style cheesecake. So I thought, why not make something different.Therefore, I looked around online to see if there were any other varieties out there. I came upon finding an asian style cheesecake from another cooking blog. I'll make sure to reference the site once I remember which blog. I can honestly say, I'm not much of a cheesecake fan. I think it's the creamy cheese that I'm not too fond of. So on Friday night, I attempted to make the cheesecake from scratch. It took a little longer than expected since the recipe required that it sit for 25-30 minutes to cool before pouring it into the graham cracker base. Then additional time to cook before placing it in the fridge. I even managed to try some filling while I was putting in all the ingredients. The filling tasted pretty good. Not too creamy at all. It kind of reminded me of Porto's Bakery and their cheese rolls (yum!). Everything was all done and ready and I had placed it in the refridgerator to cool down. The time was about 10:30p.m. or so. Stay tuned to my reviews and pictures...
Asian Style CheeseCake
Okay, it turned out appetizing. However, I think it was a little too sweet for me. I followed the recipe to the T and it ended up too sweet. Next time I'll have to reduce the amount of sugar to half or a little less than that. I'll find the recipe and post it up. Also, the texture of the cheesecake was a little softer than the usual New York Style. I'll have to attempt to remake this to find out when I can do to change this.. But overall, it was a great experience for me. I enjoy learning new things.
