Oreo Cheesecake

Sorry I haven't got time for the picture but I just baked this yesterday morning at 6am.

Oreo Cheesecake
750g cream cheese
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
26 oreo cookies plus 3 tbs melted butter

  • Smash up 18 cookies and mix with melted butter as cake base.
  • Cream the cream cheese with sugar, then add eggs 1 at a time. Finally throw in the vanilla essence.
  • To answer yummymummy's question: Once the cream cheese sugar mixture becomes smooth, it's good enough to add eggs. Overbeating causes bubble built-ups which lead to cracking of the cake.
  • As for the remaining oreos, you could either smash it up and fold into cream cheese mixture or alternatively sprinkle them on the top of the cake for the black effect, before putting into the oven.
  • 175degrees C for 45 minutes. But my oven's bit hot. Next time I'll just do it for 40 min under.
Chill overnight before serving.

After that, I used the remaining cream cheese (250g) to bake the following.

Mini Oreo Cheesecake (Muffin size)
250g cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
Vanilla Essence
8 oreo cookies
About 8 muffin liners, adjust accordingly to the size of your muffin tray

This one is super easy.
  • Cream cheese method as per above, the only difference is use half the cookie, the side with icing on as the base of your mini cheesecake.
  • Scoop cream cheese mixture and then top it off with the mashed up remainder of the cookie halves.
  • Bake for only 20 minutes.

Fast Lanes

Can I please reiterate that when a stretch of road has got more than 1 lane, the foremost right lane is meant for overtaking????!!!!!!!! It is not meant for moronic drivers to stick to the speed limit despite the fact that the next 3 - 4 lanes to the left are empty.

For some moronic reasons unknown to unmoronic mortals like us, many people just don't get it. If these people drive with that kind of behaviour, there will never be enough lanes to ease congestion! Well I suppose KL folks are unlikely to have the luxury of free lanes either to the left or right but if you ever drive back to your kampungs using trunk roads, do not undermine the government's efforts in expanding the roads to 2 lanes each direction.

Thank you.
