Cheese Cakes

Today I have just baked two Surprise Cheese cakes. One ordered by my friend (half chicken) and it cost him RM58, the other for our own consumption plus treating friends over afternoon tea. How the name came about because this cheese cake have a bit of coffee (8g) and a lots of Chocolate stuffs, dark cocoa powder (30g), chocolate paste (25g) and melted chocolate (150g) so it will definitely surprise you when you have a bite of them. It take one hour to bake them and one more hour to solidify in the oven with the door ajar. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 6 hours preferably overnight. After baking it weight about 1400g. Always cut baked cheese cake with knife soak with hot water. I found burning the knife with flame on the cooker is not hygienic. And again you need to wipe them clean after burning. I baked two Surprise cheese cakes for my son birthday on March this year, one for him to blow with birthday candles and the other precut ready for serving once he blows the candles. Not a bad idea!

My favorite and popular cheese cake is Classic Lemon cheese cake because you can taste the original cheese taste. Use the same recipe and add some strawberry filling into the cream cheese and later after baking use strawberry filling for topping and you will have a strawberry cheese cake. There are blueberry, raspberry, kiwi filling as well. Zebra cheese cake will have a soft texture because the eggs white are whisked into soft peak, melted chocolate with chocolate paste to make the spiral mixture. Oreo cheese cake is a cheese cake with Oreo cookies inside and I have baked them once. I will prefer to eat the cookies and the cake separately. Rum and Raisin Cheese cake is more for those who enjoy liquor. I soaked the raisin with rum and also add some grated dark chocolate.
