Description
Baked Oreo cheese cake . All the cheese cakes that I have made till date were no bake cheese cakes . In one of the foodie guilds , I came across a blueberry cheese cake that was baked and every one had commented saying nothing can come close to a baked cheese cake and can be devoured as a cold dessert or eaten just as they are warm and fresh out of the oven . Immediately a backed cheese cake was added to my must try lists . To be on the safer side gave my first baked cheese cake try with Oreo biscuits when my daughter ANISHA had come over to my place on a holiday . The cheese cake was kept in the refrigerator with the spring form unreleased . We were invited for dinner to my friend bindus place and it was an Italian feast with pizzas , lasagna , potato wedges , grilled chicken and ice cream with fruit salad . I took this baked Oreo cheese cake over to her place . Removed it from the spring form mould and the golden colour on the crust and sides were perfect . With crossed fingers cut into wedges and served it to every one . Pin drop silence with every one just eating the cheese cake . I took my first spoon full and as I was thinking wow .. Feels like a bit of heaven on the tongue , better than its no bake counterpart . Bindu started of with its so creamy and yum and her daughter darshini came for her second helping . Relieved me , made up my mind … If its a cheese cake , its always going to be a baked one from now on for its composite of sophisticated flavours and textures.
