'Do What You Like' Feather Light Cheesecake

Life has been pretty hectic lately.... almost breathless ! Just came back from the Reserve Forest of Kahang. Hubby & I spent a few days there.... waiting for our friends (tiger & elephants) to turn up. haha..... I'm not joking ! During our visit on last month, the tiger turned up nearby again and we all heard him roar so loudly for the second time. >o< Simply amazing. You think its easy to hear a wild tiger's roar ! No, not easy at all I'm telling you.

After all, I still need something to pamper myself. Something indulgence. And here, I made a simple cheesecake to satisfy myself & my boy. Wish my girl is around too to enjoy this !

Ingredients for biscuit base :

Method :
(1) by using ingredients (A), cook cream cheese and milk in a double boiler untill cheese melted, stir gradually.
(2) off the heat and stir in flour little by little untill well mix, leave aside to cool. (the cream cheese mixture should be in thick paste form)
(3) now slowly add in egg yolk & lemon juice untill well combined and smooth.

(9) cool completely before removing the cake from tray, and best to keep refrigerated for at least 3 hours before serving.

One of my kids favourite cake. I'm glad it turns out great and the texture is gorgeous. Really light & spongy.

Just simply serve them with some homemade dulce de leche sauce or any homemade fruit compote or homemade fruit sauce. And that is why I'm calling it 'Do What You Like Cheesecake'. ha ! I bet you'll going to ask for more. >o< Hope you're all going to have a lovely week ahead. Blessings & smile always !
