Cookies 'n' Cream Cheesecake

Cookies 'n' Cream Cheesecake

My youngest son (18 yrs old!)had requested this for a long time, only now I manage to do it. He called it oreo cheesecake. 

I just use the recipe as the guide. Herewith the actual recipe.

Cookies 'n' Cream Cheesecake (source: Celebrity Chef's Cookbooks-Cheesecake Seduction)

Ingredients:

Base

100 gm butter, diced

170 gm digestive biscuits, crushed

30 gm brown sugar

30 gm cocoa powder, sifted

50 gm cornflakes, crushed

40 gm almond flakes

- Heat butter in pan and add all the other ingredients.

- Fry till fragrant and press in 23 cm false bottom cake pan

- Cover cake pan & refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

Notes: In replacement to the dry ingredients I used leftover biscuits (samperit, almond, cornflakes etc), that I crushed and kept frozen. 

Filling:

500 ml thickened cream (i used whipped cream)

80 gm icing sugar

2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 Tbsp gelatine powder dissolved in 80 ml water

250 gm mascarpone cheese ( I use normal cream cheese)

100 gm Chocolate sandwich cookies, quartered 

- Whisk thicken cream, icing sugar and vanilla until mixture thickens

- Pour gelatine, mix well and add mascarpone cheese.

- Stir in cookies using spatula.

Pour filling onto biscuit base. Cover and refrigerate, possibly overnight.

( What I did - I beat cream cheese with icing sugar until smooth. Then add whipped cream slowly and beat further. Add in gelatine, mix well and lastly, stir in cookies)

Decorate with whipped cream and cookies 

Note: I did not decorate with whipped cream as my son said 'sudah cukup creamy'  (enough of the cream).
