No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Selasa, 28 November 2017
Edit
There're exclusively four ingredients inward my no-bake cheesecake filling: yogurt, cream cheese, icing sugar, together with gelatine.
There's no cream inward the recipe. Why not?
Because cream cheese addition cream is also heavy for the hot, humid conditions inward Singapore.
Instead of cream, I locomote natural yogurt. It's creamy but it has less than 10% of the fatty inward cream.
Natural yogurt is quite sour. A fair fighting of saccharide is needed to residual the sourness. I locomote icing saccharide because it melts easily.
Cheesecake filling made without whipped cream needs about gelatine. There should live merely plenty to gear upward the liquid ingredients. Too much gelatine makes the filling lose its creaminess together with plow into pudding.
The ingredients' consistency also affects how good the filling sets. My recipe uses gear upward yogurt. Thin, pourable yogurt would brand the filling also soft.
Cream cheese turns watery when it's mixed also much. The alter is irreversible.
Watery cream cheese would brand the filling less firm. Overmixing tin give notice range inward seconds if you lot locomote a nutrient processor. But it's unlikely if you lot mix manually.
There're 2 types of cream cheese: block together with spreadable. Block is firmer. Spreadable is softer. This recipe industrial plant amongst block cream cheese. It's mixed till smoothen without losing its theater consistency.
There're broken Oreo pieces inward my cheesecake. I scatter the cookies betwixt three layers of cream cheese mixture.
The cream cheese mixture should live thick plenty to cease the cookies from sinking. But it may non live if the conditions is hot, or if the cream cheese is overmixed.
What to exercise if the mixture is also thin? Chill it earlier assembling the cheesecake. After it cools downwards inward the fridge, it thickens upward nicely.
What's the correct consistency? If the cream cheese mixture is grade – similar H2O – later it's poured, it's also thin. If it isn't level, but it is later you lot milk tremble it, that's merely right.
There're air bubbles inward the cream cheese mixture. They ascension to the surface together with larn out pockmarks on the cake when the consistency is also thin. That's about other argue for getting the cream cheese mixture thick.
Cheesecake crust is made amongst cookie crumbs and butter. Some people melt their butter before whizzing it amongst cookies inward a nutrient processor. That's non necessary at all. Food processors tin give notice pulverise solid butter inward seconds. Melt the butter exclusively if you're crushing together with mixing past times hand.
Using a nutrient processor speeds things up. Doing everything manually, equally I exhibit inward my video, takes longer but it's hardly difficult labour. I don't intermission a effort making cheesecake past times hand.
How to Substitute Gelatine Leaves amongst Gelatine Powder
All gelatines conduct maintain a Bloom publish to dot their gel strength, clarity together with taste. Gelatines amongst a depression publish give a softer set, they're murky, together with they gustatory modality awful. Those amongst a high publish give a firmer set. And they're almost transparent, together with almost tasteless.
The sum of gelatine pulverization for replacing three gelatine leaves varies amongst the powder's Bloom number:
Bloom 125-155: 9.9 g (3 tsp)
Bloom 160-180: 7.5 g (21/3 tsp)
Bloom 190-225: 6.0 g (13/4 tsp)
Bloom 235-265: 5.1 g (11/2 tsp)
To flower gelatine powder, pose it inward a bowl together with sprinkle amongst merely plenty room temperature H2O to moisture it thoroughly. The pulverization to H2O ratio is 1:3 past times weight, or 1:2 past times volume. Once wet, the gelatine pulverization may live melted inward a hot H2O bath, equally for gelatine leaves inward the recipe below.
