Baked Peach Cheesecake

Back to basics!! Thought I'd used the cream cheese in the fridge up before it starts to mould. This recipe is taken off directly from Philadelphia's cook book.

The muffin tray I have couldn't fit into the oven so I had to think up of an alternative quick! Thank goodness for those disposable aluminium cups....and I reckon it's good to reuse it too

Kitchen just got busier again =)

Makes 6 muffin size tray

Milo Macaroons

With cream cheese filling! And more Milo of course...this is base on a French Recipe instead as I wasn't adventurous enough to use the Italian recipe (consist of syrup base sugar boiled)

Gosh, the beginning was easy, but the ending was so difficult! I wasn't sure whether I over fold the eggs, as well as the Milo itself started to clump each other. And different trays give off different heat so some baked much nicer than others.

I only manage to make a few since most of them was stuck to the baking paper. Didn't realise that there was a handy tip from this post...had I known earlier, I wouldn't chuck most into the bin =S

And most of them was stuck to the parchment paper so I only saved less than a quarter from the rest of the batter

Makes about 35-40 macaroons an inch wide

Orh Nee Cheesecake aka Taro Cheesecake

I've been meaning to make this ever since I stumble across the recipe in the local Malaysian newspaper (The Star) in March...She is a housewife and wrote a book on recipes. I got so excited when a blend of Asian ingredient is fused with Western.

Probably not as nice as her recipe but it's a first try!

Who would have ever thought it turned out yummy....

I placed a rather large base as I wanted to make my own cookie dough base (Oreos are a waste since the cream would be thrown away). I used Milo powder :) but I didn't realise that it was actually twice the size of what I needed! So I had to ratio and half the cheese batter down. Turns out just as delicious. YUM.

Before...............After

Oh as well as we are on this post, I was figuring out the difference between Taro, Yam and Sweet Potato. Turns out we've been mis using the word Yam quite a bit! Glad to get that out of the way.
