NO BAKE CHEESECAKE 

 

no bake cheesecake

 

first, I crushed the chocolate wafer, i used the wafers as the base layer or crust, i didn't use butter because it was already sticky enough. although, i suggest adding 1/4 stick of melted butter to keep the crumbs together.

next the cream cheese mixture, i only added cream cheese, powdered sugar and cocoa. i wanted the mixture to be on the thicker side, so if you don't like it to be that thick, you can adjust the mixture by adding 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.

i then added some white chocolate chips that i melted with heavy whipping cream as the top layer. the cream cheese mixture is not that sweet, so adding the white chocolate would add a little more sweetness to the cake.

 

no bake cheesecake



i then refrigerate the cake overnight. and the next morning, you can add any other toppings you like, this process is mostly really to decorate the cake, you don't have to do anything anymore. you can serve the cake as it is. but because I wanted for the cake to look a little presentable, I whipped a cup of whipping cream and covered the cake with it.

to get a little nice slice of the cake, you can emerge the knife into hot water first before cutting the cake.

the pan that i use for this cake is the 8" spring form pan.

tips:

  1. make sure all the ingredients are in room temperature
  2. to lessen your dough time rising, pre heat your oven to the lowest temperature, turn it off. cover your newly knead dough with a damp towel and put it inside the oven. usually with this process, my dough is ready in just 30 minutes
  3. if you have any questions please feel free to drop it in the comments :)

banana cupcake

 

some tips:

  1. make sure all the ingredients you are using such as eggs, cream cheese, butter is at room temperature, or else it wont be as easy to mix.
  2. make sure you smash the banana into really fine pieces, so it wont leave a chunky bites on your cupcakes
  3. it is also important that your banana is super ripe. banana flavor can be a replacement
  4. bake at no more than 22 minutes, it will be a little jiggly so wait for the cupcakes to cool down
