Mango Sponge Cheesecake

Heh, as I got bored of eating the plain old sponge cheesecake, someone suggested ‘hey why not add a little flavour to it?’ Well, one of my lovely baking buddy made us a no bake mango cheesecake and it was absolute delicious (although she did complain she added too much gelatin and made the base abit too hard to bite).

But I got myself and oven! And yes I decided to fully utilize it. My other half loves Japanese sponge cheesecake so off I went.

The thought of being health conscious has always been there so the proud past of this recipe is that it’s much healthier than the normal Japanese sponge cheesecakes. I replaced the milk and lemon juice for yogurt as it gives the same tangy smooth flavour (as well as I wanted to incorporate as much mango flavour as I can).

Makes an 8” cake

Ingredients
  • 125g cream cheese
  • 75g sugar
  • 35g flour
  • 10g cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/2 tsp mango essence / extract
  • 60ml blended mango juice (less water the better) or 100ml mango yoghurt
  • 25ml oil
  • 4 eggs
  • Pinch of salt

Method
  1. Follow my Japanese sponge cheesecake post
  2. Bear in mind: to fill the water bath as minimal as possible as the cake batter will cook much slower if there’s too much water in the bath.
  3. For a small convectional oven, bring the temperature to 100degC

Pandan Kaya



First Attempt!

It turned out slightly too much green (but I likey) and slightly curdled coz I left the pot for only 5 minutes. 5 Minutes!!! Geram (frustrated). Abit too sweet too, think I should reduce the sugar even more..

I reckon this is similar to making ice cream process but in opposite environment...I had to keep stirring and stirring and stirring. That is perhaps the art of making Kaya. In terms of colour, it pretty much indicates when it is ready. Ingredients are very straight forward but you can be creative. There are 3 main ingredients, and they also go by ratio so you won't go wrong.

Anyway, it makes really simple gifts if you're thinking of doing something different for a change :)
