My First Steamed Blueberry Cheesecake

Woah am back in track! I mean baking track :)

For last two weeks, I had been baking and seriously it was a GREAT feeling! Hah, talking about stress reliever here...

I have always wanted to try something different in baking cheesecakes, you know, usually the process is either water bath baked or chilled one.  But, steaming cheesecake?  Curiosity got the better of me and why not I give it a try then...

Steamed Blueberry Cheesecake (I got the recipe from Suzette Cooks)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ingredients:

01. 500gm cream cheese ( I love to use Anchor brand)

02. 100gm castor sugar

03. 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla essence

04. 200ml Whipping Cream (another Anchor brand)

04. 4 nos eggs

05. 300gm Blueberry filling 

06. 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method:

01. Cream cheese and sugar till smooth

02. Fold in eggs, Vanilla essence and whipping cream.  Mix till smooth 

03. Pour into 8 inches round or square cake tin

04. Pour the Blueberry filing in pan and add in the lemon juice.  Stir together about a minute.  Pour half of the  filling into the cheese mixture, stir with a chopstick to create marble effect.  Reserve the other half of jam as topping decor

05. Steam the mixture for 2 hours under low heat (after water is boiled)

06. To avoid water sipping in, cling wrap the cake tin 3 times tightly.  And hubby did a good job in this, thanks dear :*

07. Cake is cooked, if the surface is firm to touch and shrink from the sides

08. After cooled, chill in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour before decorating.  I let it chilled for 3 hours

09. For the decor, just spread the half filling on top of the cake and I chilled it again till the next day

Tadaa... Your cheesecake is ready to be eaten.  My verdict?  It's creamy and with the perfect combo of cheese and blueberry makes you wanna eat more! LOL!  For me the first part of the process is easy and ingredients pun accessible.  Only the part you need to cling wrap and steam take time but worth it!

Happy trying all ^_^
