Pink, I've obtained the kind permission to post the tofu cheesecake recipe.
<u>Tofu Cheesecake Recipe</u>
Ingredients:
250g cream cheese (Note 1)
80g castor sugar
300g tofu (Note 2)
350ml whipping cream
3 tbsp icing sugar (Note 3)
2 tbsp gelatin powder
5 tbsp tepid water (Note 4)
Method:
1. Cook the tofu in boiling water and drain well otherwise you will have a weeping tofu cheesecake. I drained the tofu for 2 hours.
2. Beat cream cheese with sugar till creamy, add in the mashed tofu. Mix well and put it in the blender to blend till smooth and creamy.
3. Whip the whipping cream with icing sugar till mousse state.
4. Add the dissolved gelatin solution into cheese tofu mixture and mix well. Add in the whipped cream.
5. Pour in the cheese mixture onto the base. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Notes:
1. I used one Philadelphia pack 250g. Original recipe calls for 220g.
2. I used Unicurd silken tofu. Each packet sold here is 300g. I used only 1 pack as I was afraid taste might be too strong, probably that's why the filling is not as smooth as I thought. Original recipe calls for 540g.
3. I used castor sugar as I did not have icing sugar on hand.
4. I assume this is used for dissolving the gelatine.
5. I used a 7inch round mousse ring. Had some cheese mixture left over. Suggest to use at least 9 inch round size.
6. For the base, I used 120g Digestive biscuits (about 8 biscuits, crushed) and 50g butter (softened). You can use other cake or brownie base if you like.

ep,
I think you will hv to go v early to be seated, but the show only few minutes only. I only worry that my children cannot take the heat, the long wait and the noise. Toilet breaks is another problem. Not discouraging, but just letting you know the likely scenerios.

I attend the firework last year, it's amazing as the firework shoot out from the water and there is music like watching mucical fountain which you will not have a clear view if you are not seated inside the arena. You will be allocated a seat with the ticket so you don't have to be there very early to chop for seat.

good morning ladies!
akohle, ur doughnuts look so pretty!!
peng, i nvr have the guts to make marble or zebra cakes... my pattern will turn out haywire...
ep, it's a non-bake cheesecake so i don't think it's difficult to do... it doesn't taste like tofu, more like normal cheesecake... maybe if put more tofu as per recipe, will taste it better?
BM, i hope this year got chance to see NDP... my gal enjoys it... if no tickets, then i go and squeeze in ur room hor? hahaha... just kidding!
fatmum, thanks! i only post pics which i succeed in... hahaha...
Dory & Bacon Dinner a few days ago...
Too tired to go out to eat and trying to get rid of the onion rings and dory as we seldom cook... dumped everything into the oven... haha...

Yap, I think they got different performance by different country on different day. I can't remember the time I think it start at 8.30 or 9pm and it last about 30 min - 45 min.
icelim
You must keep sponging your boy to stable the fever. You take care of yourself also.

Poor gal, my gal had fever also a month ago and no other symptoms. I always hv suppositories on hand to insert and I sponge her. When she was younger, I brought her to A&E, that time more kiasi and I din know how to sponge her, I thot just wring the towel dry n wipe her body, turns out the towel was literally dripping with water when the nurse sponge her. See already v heart pain.
As I am typing this message, my maid is playing with my gal beside me. Cant help but laugh at the way they play. A bossy 2 year old gal telling a blur maid wat to do during a tea party. hahaha. Well at least she is playing with her instead of pushing her away.

Keng, my colleagues usually go to Bangkok to stock up their wacoal panties and bras, they buy by the dozens. Wacoal has a sanitary panty which is good during our period, no more overflow problems.
ice lim,
my second boy actually find suppositories funny! lol. I call it the bullet and he will tell me, got bullet for my bum bum? hahaha
My older boy refuse to use suppositories but good thing is that he respond to Motrin well. That works fast for him!
Tried making muffin yesterday using nigella's bluberry muffin recipe... but I didn't have baking powder and didn't put any & I used chocolate chips since I do not have blueberries. I find 20 mins could be too long as mine came out a little chao ta!
Then I made cheese biscuits today. Feel like having something salty after all the sweet stuff.

Thank God it's the weekend! Can relax and recharge. Took half-day leave today, came home to rest and catch up on my baking while my baby Dana was asleep earlier on in the evening. Here's my fruit
It's been a long while since I posted anything as I couldn't find time to bake since Dana arrived! Finally today...feel so fulfilled
Enjoy your weekend mummies!
