Today's Hour: 5 hrs
Total Hour: 25 hrs
Today, to me, is more like a summary day and a preparation day. With more packages I've received, I officially started my journey of baking those Basque cheesecakes.
After cooling down for a night, my friends and I tasted the Matcha Basque cheesecake I made last afternoon.
The comments are:
"To be honest, I like the original flavor more." --- Hieu
"I think Matcha flavor is better." --- Ingrid
"I will come back and try it tonight because I don't want to get a stomach ache in my work place." --- lactose-intolerance Emma
I have to admit that the first bite of the Matcha flavor is a little bit weird because you feel like you are eating a cheesecake and then Matcha just came, being like "Surprise! It's actually Matcha-flavored!"
However, I've encountered a difficulty which is that the cream cheese never gets soft enough to be dissolved perfectly in the heavy cream solution. I probably need to get a hand from the hot water next time (Actually did research on this). The other reason that makes me take a break from the cheesecake is that there are toooooo many cheeses. TOO MANY. I actually need to have something cleaner and lighter.
Therefore, I first get some Os from Oreos, for my Oreo-flavored cheesecake tomorrow. Then, I made some poi from the Taro I steamed yesterday. But I feel like I accidentally put too much milk in it and it is going to fit drinks better instead of cakes. Finally, I tried to make a mini coconut jelly, as a sub for my recipes.
In a word, today is more like a transition day, a day for me to do more research on Basque cheesecake and to take a break from the cream cheese.
