Cant wait for the week to end... too many things going on... issues and i am not liking it at all... felt like running away fm it but how lol :o((((((

Honestly i wud rate this cheesecake as not an easy peasy kinda cheesecake.. its time consuming.. it has a few steps (a put off.. i know) and uses a lot of ingredients.. nevertheless i  assure u that this is one super rich (fattening too hehhe) cheesecake that u wouldnt want to miss out..

Hi kak rima. May I ask..  for the cheese cake, do you have to whip the whipping cream first before adding it to the mixture? Or you just add it to the mixture and then mix until well blended?

Rima said...
