Choc Chip Cheesecake # 2 & #3

The making of... Choc Chip CC
The batter is now ready. Heat up your oven then.
As usual, I have to cover both 8' spring form to prevent direct heating over the cake's surface. Don't forget to set the time to 55 min at 150 degrees.
This is how it look likes before I frost it.
Two Choc Chip CC in action! One for Junita and another one for Delaila. Thanks guys for your support. ;)

Apple Pie ala Mcd.

I found this recipe about 3 years back, but really MALAS nk try. However, Ummimon did motivate me to try it when she posted the same recipe last May in her blog. I tried it last Sunday after we went back from my new office. Mine is a bit different in terms of its filling.

Preparation time: 1.5 hours ++ ( depending on the disturbances around the chef :))
FILLING
Ingredients
1. Green apples - 3 apples, peeled, cored and diced.
2. Sugar - 1/2 cup.
3. Bit of cinnamon powder.
4. Bit of corn oil --> this is the different with ummimon
5. Bit of water

Steps
1. Put all ingredients in a pan.
2. Simmer until apples are bit soft.
3. Mash some apple using fork.
4. Let it cook & leave to cool. I put the filling in the fridge for fast cool.

PASTRY
Ingredients
1. 2 cups of plain flour
2. 1/2 cup of shortening/butter (I used half shortening + half butter).
3. 1 tsp salt
4. 1/2 cold water

Steps
1. Mix flour with salt and sift it.
2. Rub in the
flour and shortening + butter with your fingers.
3.
Add water and knead into dough. ( it was a very hard time when making pastry as I think I don't have strong kneading energy)
4. Using rolling pin, roll out the dough
5. Cut out the rolled pastry into desired size.
6. Put the filling and fold the pastry.
7.
Use a bit of water to 'glue' the pastry. Neat the pastry by cut out excess pastry. Use folk to further neat it.
8. Put the ready pie in th fridge about 10-15 minutes before you fry it to get crunchy pie.

Let's try!

I can get 7 pies with this recipe. This is how its look like just before I fry it.
It's ready to eat! As usual, my Mawaddah love it.

Tart trial

I tried making this tart about 1.5 months ago. I never learn making pastry. I just give a try using online recipe from Yen.

Let's me share the mistakes that I did. Based on the recipe, I have to baked the pastry dough in the tart shell until half cooked. So, I just estimate the baking time for about 10 min only. Then, I poured the cream cheese filling in the baked tart shell and baked for another 10 minutes. I found that the filling is already baked, but the pastry dough didn't baked very well. I have to add more baking time to ensure the dough is cooked enough. Unfortunately, the cream cheese filling was cracked, and I guess because of over baked. Next time, I have to bake the pastry dough more longer, maybe 15-20 min.

Here we go the recipe:

The pastry dough:
125 gm butter
63 gm icing sugar
250gm plain flour
1 tablespoon water
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
Steps:
1. Sift flour and icing sugar in a mixing bowl
2. Rub butter in the flour mixture
3. Add egg yolk, vanilla & water
4. Shape dough into ball & refrigerate before using
5. Roll out and shape in to the tart shells

The cream cheese filling:
250 gm cream cheese
20gm butter
60gm fine granulated sugar
1 egg
Steps:
1. Beat cheese, sugar and butter until fluffy
2. Add egg and beat until well mix
3. Pour cream cheese filling in the baked tart shell
4. Bake for 10-15 min @ 170 deg.



For variety:
You may add melted choc, blueberry filling or strawberry filling on top of the filling. Use knive to make marble effect.
