Ramadan Recipe : Easy Cheesecake

Make 2 cakes with 18 cm pan 
–  2 package Cream cheese (room temperature)
–  300 ml whipping cream
–  1 box yogurt (400 ml)
–  1/2 cup sugar
–  4 eggs
–  Lemon yeast and lemon water (optional green tea powder)

Biscuit base :
–  1 package of Marie biscuit, grind using food processor
–  1 pack margarine, melt it using microwave. Put the remaining back into fridge. 

How to make :

1. Put the cream cheese into room temperature. Preheat oven 180 oC.

2. Prepare the biscuit base, grind the biscuit using food processor. If you have kids around, you may ask them to release their energy helping this part. Put some biscuits in a ziplock bag, ask them to break apart until fine.

3. Add the melted butter or margarine, mix using spoon or spatula. Divide into the pan evenly. Press using a plastic wrap. Bake about 10 minutes.

4. Mix together all ingredient using mixer, resulting a thick broth. Add lemon yeast and lemon water. This time I want green tea flavor, so I also add green tea powder. In case you found it’s too watery, add 1-2 tablespoon of corn starch.

5. Bake with steam bath method. Time requirement about 40 minutes. Add hot water outside the pan, ensure the water will not enter the pan. Cool completely and put in the fridge before decorating. Simply decorate with any fruits or just sprinkle some icing sugar.
