My Classmate Sesilia had an end of semester party for our class at her house on friday night and She had been wanting to learn how to make cold cheesecake so I said I would show her how
2/3 of the class are from Asia mainly China and Korea and so their tastebuds are much different from mine and I didnt want to make the cheesecakes too sweet. My freind Qi lin had her birthday during the week and I offered to make her a birthday cake , She said she really liked European style cheese cake , so I offered to make her a green tea cheesecake which she thought was fabulous
I made a Green tea cheesecake and an Apricot Swirl cheesecake
both of which went down very well, I will post the recipes in the recipe section
here are some photos.
Green tea cheesecake recipe
Ingrediants :
1 packet of store bought biscuits (cookies) I used arnotts malt biscuits
150 grams butter
300 mls regular cream
250 grms mascapone
250 grms cream cheese
3 dessertspoons of powdered green tea
3 dessertspoons of white sugar
Method:
crush up cookies in the food processor
melt butter and mix in with cookies then put in to base of a 8 inch tin pressing firmly in to shape of tin
and bringing up around the sides of the tin
place in to fridge to firm up , at least 15 minutes
While base is firming up, beat cream cheese, sugar and green tea together , set aside
beat cream till thick but still will slide off the spoon slowly
add to cream cheese mix and then fold in the mascapone
pour in to base and cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours
nb: you can add a little more sugar if this not sweet enough for you
when ready to eat take out of dish ( a spring form tin is good for this ) and serve in wedges
