Oreo Cheesecake!🍰


I wanted to make a dessert for M because he was in town for his birthday. My microwave-oven is still out of order and I have no intentions of getting it fixed. Hence I have been preparing a varied set of ‘no bake’ desserts. The first in this attempt was a Cheesecake. I was skeptical about the taste and its fluffiness. As I had never made a ‘no bake’ version, I was really worried about the end result. IMHO it was just okay. M on the other hand was very impressed with it.

Without further ado for all those looking to indulge in some easy to make desserts here is what you need to make this Cheesecake!

Ingredients:
30 Oreo biscuits without the icing
Cream Cheese – 180g
Set curd – 450g
Gelatin powder -10g
Powdered Sugar – 100g
Melted Butter – 50g


Method:

1. Take 20 Oreo biscuits and remove icing. Crush the biscuits and once powdered add butter to it and mix it well.

2. Line butter paper in a serving dish and spread the Oreo mixture to form the crust of the cake. Make sure you press down the mixture so as to ensure there are no gaps when pouring the cake mixture. Refrigerate.

3. Blooming the gelatin: Take10g gelatin in a bowl and wet it with room temperature water. Ensure not to add too much water. Just sprinkle enough to dampen the powder. Prepare a hot bath and melt the gelatin for 4-5 minutes.

4. Once melted, add 3 tbsp of curd to gelatin and mix well. In a mixing bowl pour remaining curd and slowly add gelatin-curd to this mixture and whisk well. Once the mixture starts peaking add cream cheese to the mixture bit by bit. I divided it into three portions and kept whisking to reach a creamy consistency with the curd mixture. Do not pour all of the cheese in one go, beating it will be a task.

5. Once the mixture has blended well add sugar and whisk till the mixture has sweetened. Taste to ensure that the sweetness is right. For those who like their dessert extra sweet can add more sugar.

6. Now bring the dish with the Oreo crust out and pour the cake mixture into it. Tap the dish gently to expel air bubbles and even out the surface.

7. Place the dish back in the fridge and leave it in overnight.

8. Just before serving, remove the dish out and sprinkle chunks of remaining Oreo biscuits on top and then slice to serve.

Notes:

●The cream cheese, yogurt, butter and water used to bloom the gelatin should all be at room temperature.

●You can add Oreos in the cake mixture too to give it that extra crunchy texture. I like my cheesecake smooth so I skipped that step.

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short list...

Hey Little Girl... Part I

The little girl aped her elder brother. To her, he was the coolest dude that existed. She was the kid in school who was spoken to because she was so and so’s sister. As a kid she was extremely naïve. Her brother was the quizzer, the topper, the teacher’s pet, the social guy and everybody liked him. She on the other hand was the brat, the swimmer, a teacher’s nightmare, anti social and didn’t want to be liked by anyone. They were polar opposites of each other. Her brother - the witty charmer and She, the *shrugs shoulders* and very impolitely leaving conversation kind of person. Perhaps… the younger version of her envied the ease with which her brother was able to make friends and be at the core of everything that was happening in school. The fact that they were so different and studied in the same school eventually led to teachers constantly comparing them. It wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. But imagine a little girl always being chastised and all sermons ending with, “why ...

The Journey

Last weekend was amazing. It began by me traveling solo from Mysore to Madras. I plonked my bags at my best friend's place. Her roomie, she and I headed to Mahabalipuram where we saw the famed sculptures carved out of single boulders. The carvings are pretty intricate and the sight is very pretty but the highlight of the visit was a monkey. While we were leaving the place we saw a troop of monkeys and one of them immediately took a fancy to my friend’s roomie. Now this girl is scared of almost every animal. It became very obvious to her that the monkey was eying the bottle in her hand. She threw it at the monkey. The monkey picked it opened the bottle and gulped the juice and looked so pleased! It was a sight. It does not seem hilarious in print but it was incredibly funny. But before going to Mahablipuram we stopped at the Crocodile Park where I learnt to hold a baby crocodile and also a python. I actually felt the crocodile gulp when I was holding it. The place ...
