Duo 'Rasa' Cheesecake

This morning I found some cream cheese in the fridge which doesn't look good anymore. Not yet expired but looks a little frozen at one side. I don't want to throw it away, so I decided to make something nice out of it. Since, I've been craving for cheesecake for a long time and I think it is about time....for that nice little dessert. But one thing that I worried about is the texture of the cake. The cream cheese is a little frozen...so probably the cake isn't going to turn out as smooth as it was. What the heck! I'm still go on with it.

Ingredients for cheesecake:

250gm plain biscuit or oreo, finely crushed

125gm butter, melted

*******************

750gm cream cheese, softened

3 eggs, beaten

3/4 cup sugar

150gm plain yogurt/sour cream

1 tspn lemon rind

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 pkt 3 in 1 coffee mixed/1 tspn instant coffee powder(any flavour)

*

3 apples, peeled & diced

2-1/2 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 tspn cinnamon powder

2 tspn cornstarch

*

- preheat pan with 1 tbsp butter

- stir in apples and cook under medium heat.

- then add in sugar and cinnamon powder.

- off the heat once the apple became juz about soft.

- stir in cornstarch and leave aside.

Method :

*

- combine crushed biscuit and melted butter together.

- press mixture to a 9" spring foam tray, refrigerate for 30 mins.

- beat the remaining ingredients in a big bowl (except coffee & lemon rind) untill smooth.

- divide the cream cheese mixture into 2 portion.

- add lemon rind to one portion and mix to combine.

- then add coffee to the other portion and mix to combine.

- pour coffee flavour mixture to the biscuit crust.

- bake at 180'c for 15 mins.

- and cover with lemon flavour batter.

- serve chill.

Like always! My son can't wait till the next day. So, I have to cut a few slices out to satisfy him. And then keep the cake back to the fridge again untill tomorrow.

Though the texture is not exactly I wanted it to be, yet still tasty good! NO REGRET at all....ha ha ha !
