Close up of Tatura Cream Cheese from Cold storage. I bought this as its affordable compare to Philadelphia cream cheese which cost double of Tatura cream cheese. My cheese cake also taste great with this cheese.FOR THE CRUST:
Before starting on the crust, heat the oven first. I heat it for about 15 minutes.The crust: Butter, sugar and digestive biscuit. Picture shows how it looks like after mixing all the ingredient. I crush the biscuit using a chopper.
Spread the crust evenly into the pan
Press the crust to the pan
Baked the crust 12 minutes at 168 Celsius. Cool the crust in room tempreture. Dont put in fridgeFOR THE FILLING:
Use hand mixer and beat the cream cheese until it become fluffy
Add the condense milk. Beat it till it smoothens
Add the egg and lemon juice
Pour it over the cooled crust. Bake it for 58min at 149 degree c. Actually for my oven, it took longer than 58min to cook. As the cake is not ready after 58 min. To test whether the cake is completely cook, just use a long stick and poke it in. If there is cake attach to the stick, it means that the cake is not ready. If the stick come out clean, it means the cake is ready.
Once done, leave in in oven (off) and open the door ajar.Leave till oven cooled. Let it cool down to the room temperature sitting on a wire rack. Can put a big bowl over the cheesecake to slower down the cooling for 1st hour. Subsequent 2 hour cool to room temp.
Since this is my first cheese cake, I made it plain with no garnishing. It taste so creamy and delicious. Once its done, I use a knife to make sure the cake does not stick to the side of the pan. I unlock the pan and cut the cake. The crust does not break into pieces if i cut carefully.
