Oreo Cheesecake:Oreo again! I never have enough of it ^^

 I don't have to say much, all of you know me by now, ^^. I start to think that maybe one day I will have 100 recipes with Oreo as an ingredient in my blog, haha.
But I think you won't mind to see a lot of it, right? For me Oreo always be a symbol of comfort and happiness, the reason of this feeling is very simple, the delicious food from our childhood always bring back good memory.
I just find one more quotation that catches my heart "People aren't rich because of money but because of their memory" (from Tissa Kiros), ^^ for me all my memory filled with good thing about food and family, and yes, I think I'm a millionaire by now, haha. So, I never wait for anything that will make me feel like a little kid again.
This recipe came from one of my favorite book : ..........................., I used many recipes from this book even there are some problem when I make 
"Fraisier" I still think that this one is not bad at all. Because I believe that even you try so hard, fault can happen, and for us who live our life by reading the recipe (haha), all we have to do is read the recipe more carefully, that all. The only problem for this recipe that I found is the quantity of the Oreo cookies in the original recipe is too little, I don't know the size of the Oreo that sell in Japan, but my Oreo is about 4cm in diameter, anyway if yours is bigger you can reduce the cookies that you will use in the base (or use the same quantity and have a thicker base, that I think it's still delicious, ^^).
This cake is very easy to make, and don't require any special equipment. But if you love to bake and make a lot of desserts, I suggest you to buy a bottle of Kirsch, because a bit of this liqueur will make your dessert and can much more delicious. Kirsch is a clear, colorless fruit brandy traditionally made from double-distillation of morello cherries, and the smell of Kirsch is cherry like. There are a lot of brands to choose from, as always I recommend that you buy the one that you can taste it by it own. 
I don't have to say much about this cake, the only thing that I will tell you is "It's delicious!!!!!!!"

  25. Hi

    I tried this last weekend, it tasted lovely however the cake seemed a bit too moist and it's not staying in shape well...also the base is rahter crumbly...
    could it be that i added too little gelatin powder? what would you suggest to make the cake body firmer?
    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hi, Phoewalker
    You may have to press the base more firmly to prevent it to be crumbly.
    For the cake, you will need more gelatin ^^, (the strength of each brand can be varied), add about 1g more.

  27. Hi... Wonderful cake.. but I have one query

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hi, Preeti Garg
    You have to use removable bottom cake pan or cake ring, and you can demould it easily.

  29. Hi Pook,

    I am going to use springform pan. Could you please tell me how can I remove the base without breaking it?
    Thank you

    LL

  30. Hi, LL
    It will be easier if you line the base with baking paper, and warm the side of the pan before removing the cake out of the pan.

  31. Hi there pook,
    I have try making it and have some Qns. I have replaced kirsch with water as you said and when i add the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture , it didnt turn out as creamy as yours (abit watery)... what did i do wrong is it becoz of too much water ?
    Thanks,jl

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hi,
    Only 10ml of water don't effect the texture that much, the point is our gelatin can be different in strength, add about 1g will help.
    The other thing I hope you didn't use low fat or spreadable one ^^.

  33. Hi
    Im trying to make the delicious looking cake but in the process im unable to whip the whipping cream it always be overwhip be4 it even turn to soft peak , any solution? ?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Try to whip the whipping cream with a whisk not an electronic hand mixer, you will be able too control it better.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi,
    May I know your topping whipped cream recipe as I found that it tends to melt easily when left in room temp for quite sometime. Thanks alot!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Actually I use simple recipe: whipping + Icing sugar.
    Mostly the ratio is 10 g of icing sugar per 100g of whipping cream.

    ReplyDelete
  37. May I know where to buy kirsch? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
