Cooking: Cheesecake

To celebrate the end of exams I made a baked cheesecake. I added a bit too much lemon so it was a little on the sour side.

I used this recipe. Except my base was a little thick as I didn't make sides for my cheesecake.
I love eating cheesecake but I'm not too fond of making them. Someone make them for me? =P

Cooking: Creme Brulee

Finally got round to playing with my birthday pressie, BLOWTORCH. I'm not a pyromaniac. I used the recipe by George Calombaris on the Masterchef website. Except I accidentally  cooked them at 170 degrees for 3/4 of the cooking time instead of 120 or whatever the temperature was supposed to be, luckily the eggs didn't separate.

Found that raw sugar made the best crust but you do need quite a bit of sugar to make a decent crust. Not too hard to make and pretty cheap, under $1 a serve.

Cooking: Japanese Cheesecake

Finally got to make this. Very fun to make.

Am i weird? I like to watch egg whites get beaten to stiff peaks and make pretty patterns at the edges of the electric mixer bowl.

After the cheesecaked was baked.

Was a bit burnt.

Everything looks better with icing sugar :)

Didn't actually turn out like I hoped, not as fluffy unfortunately, but it's extremely dense and yummy.
