What can one do with Oreo, Cream cheese and John Legend?
+
Last Saturday three girls gathered in my place (Yi, Vera and my sis). They joked, mixed some stuff, broke some biscuits, listened to sexy Legend and produced a CAKE!!! Magic! Aww its really really good.... I think I should try and make it myself next time. I saw a restaurant selling the same cake except in a much much smaller portion (i.e. single serve) for $6.50. Maybe I should quit school and start selling chilled oreo cheese cakes to cafes? Will it pay better?

Ingredients:

Base:
200g Digestive biscuits, crushed finely (bash it up in a sandwich bag^^)
100g Butter
2 tbsp brown sugar

Topping:
500 g cream cheese (mascarpone cream cheese if feeling luxuries)
Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
65 g butter @ room temp.
100g castor sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tbsp of gelatine
1 1/4 cups of whipping cream, whipped til just stiff
50g Oreo biscuits, crushed coarsely

Method:
Base
-grease a 20cm spring form pan
-melt butter in a small contained on medium high until melted. Add brown sugar and stir until roughly dissolved. Mix the mixture with the crushed Digestive biscuit.
-transfer mixture into spring form pan, spread it evenly. Use glass to press the mixture evenly. Refrigerate for 30 mins.

cheese bits
-blend in cream cheese, sugar and lemon rind until smooth. Add butter and continue to blend til smooth
-mix lemon juice and gelatine in microwave. Heat in high power for 30 secs uncovered. Stir until gelatine dissolves then pour it into cream mixture.
-gently fold whipped cream into cream mixture into spring pan.
-refrigerate 3-4 hours (or freeze if desperate for CAKE)
