Matcha ( Green Tea) Cheesecake. No Bake

I made this cheesecake for Jodie's birthday, she loves anything green tea.

And any flavour of cheesecake.

I hadn't planned to make a cake for her this year now that was turning 22, but she went out for lunch with Charlette so I thought I would make her a dessert for her tea.

Ingredients

300 g Oreo cookies

40 g unsalted butter, melted

500 g cream cheese, room temperature

120 g icing sugar

300 ml thickened cream

1 1/2 tsp lemon juice

12 g gelatine powder

2 tbsp cold water

2 tsp matcha powder

Method

1. Line an 8 inch spring form cake tin with greaseproof paper.

2. Place Oreo's in a food processor and blitz until crushed. Put into a bowl, add melted butter. Stir to combine well.

3. Pour crumb mix into prepared cake tin, press down firmly. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate.

4. Place cold water in a bowl, sprinkle over gelatine while whisking with a fork. Sift matcha powder into gelatine mix. Stand bowl in a heatproof bowl of hot water, stir until gelatine dissolves. Set aside.

5. Place cream cheese in a large mixing bowl, using a rubber spatula, stir to smooth. Add icing sugar in batches of three, mixing well each time.

6. Pour matcha gelatine mix into cream cheese bowl and combine together well.

7. Pour thickened cream into a mixing bowl, add lemon juice, whip until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into matcha cheesecake mixture. Transfer cheesecake mixture on top of biscuit base. Flatten and smooth. Wrap with clingfilm, refrigerate for about 4 hours.

I dressed it up with candles and green tea pokki sticks and some green tea biscuit crumb.

So she got a birthday 'cake' after all. 🎂

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...

Corned Beef Stovies

We love stovies, the perfect comfort food for cold evenings and an ideal way to use up leftover meats.

Ingredients 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 1 kg potatoes (suitable for mashing) 300ml beef stock 1 beef oxo cube 1 tin corned beef Method 1. Peel and thinly slice potatoes. 2.

Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4. Using a potato masher, roughly break the potatoes into smallish pieces. Cut corned beef into small chunks. Add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and corned beef has brea...
