This is from an original recipe from a friend of a friend (Azifah). Again I have made some changes to suit my taste..

ingredients

  • I use an 8 inch square cake tin (the one that you could easily remove the bottom). You can also use a springform pan.
  • The base
  • I have decided not to follow the original recipe with the flour base. Instead use the digestive biscuit and butter. But when I tried it, I have overestimated the amount...so the base turns out quite thick. So the best bet would be the below amount for the base:
  • 1.5 cups crushed digestive biscuits
  • 4.5 to 5 tablespoons of butter (melted)
  • The basic is 1 cup of digestive biscuits to 3 tablespoons of butter (melted). You could put more butter if you like the base to be harder. For this recipe, 1.5 cups would have been just nice. I use McVities Digestive Biscuits.
  • The Filling
  • I specifically followed the recipe...excellent texture and taste..not too sweet or too creamy.
  • Ingredients A
  • 500gm cream cheese (Philadelphia cream cheese of course)
  • 120 gm icing sugar (about 0.9 cups)
  • 20 gm corn flour (about 2 tablespoon)
  • Ingredients B
  • 3 eggs (150gm)
  • 100ml Whipping Cream (I used Paul’s Thickened Whipping Cream - the only halal one I can find)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • The Fruit
  • 1 tin sliced peach (I use Ayam Brand - halal) - drained from syrup
  • The Topping
  • I followed the recipe and found that the topping amount is too much. I am giving the recipe only for half the topping...u can double up if u like;
  • 25 gm icing sugar (about 4 tablespoon or less)
  • 50 gm plain flour (half cup)
  • 50 gm chopped walnut (less than half cup)
  • 30.25 gm butter (2.5 tablespoon)

directions

  • 1

    The base

  • 2

    Crush the digestive biscuits manually, u can also use food processor + the butter.

  • 3

    Mix well and press the mixture firmly to the base. I use the back of a glass. Refrigerate.

  • 4

    The Filling

  • 5

    - Beat Ingredients A above until creamy

  • 6

  • 7

    Mix all up until it resembles breadcrumbs

  • 10

    Putting it together

  • 11

    - Pour half of the mixture into the pan

  • 12

    - Arrange the peaches as you please (whose going to know ur pattern right?)

  • 13

    - Pour the other half of mixture, covering all the peaches

  • 14

    - Sprinkle topping to cover the top surface of cheese filling

  • 15

    Bain marie bake the cake at 160 deg C for 60 - 70 minutes.

  • 16

    I have a convection oven, so I baked at 150 deg C at exactly 70 minutes.

  • 17

    Cool it and just runs the knife around the pan to loosen the cake...this is to make sure the cake will not crack when you refrigerate.

  • 18

    Refrigerate 12 hours (the best)...serve...
