Notice the letter s? Yup.. I made two! :p
Living in Kapit, I've learnt to make a few amendments for the things that weren't available here and came out with my own versions.
Below is the Original recipe (Cherry cheesecake):
Ingredients
- 250g plain biscuit (McVities are the best) - unavailable in Kapit
- 125g butter (melted) - seasonal, sometimes they have sometimes they don't.
- 3tsp gelatin - brought lotsa them from Peninsular as they don't have the ones with Halal label here.
- 1/2 cup water - it is Kapit, not a desert LOL
- 250g packet cream cheese (softened)
- 3/4 caster sugar
- 1tbs lemon juice - this time I bought them from a warung serving Ice Lemon Tea, dunno where she got 'em from.
- 300ml carton whipped cream - got it from Cikgu Velu when she went to Kuching
- 425g can pitted black cherries -unavailable.. period
