Cheesecake : A favorite dessert

I already mentioned that "cheesecake" is my all time favorite. I have tried baking cheesecake many times ( no-bake, no water bath and water bath ) and even experiment with different type of cheeses ( i only stick to philadelphia now ) Of course by way of experimenting, you cannot avoid to have failed sometimes. And because of my loveness for this yummy cake, i never gets tired of re-doing it again over and over. I remember back then, when i cannot afford to buy a slice for me dahil sobrang mahal. Now i realized, i can make my own na in any form pa hahaha :)
the basic ingredients for cheesecake you will need a pie crust or biscuit crust, cream cheese ( any brand ), semi-thick cream ( or i might say semi-heavy cream?), lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs and white sugar ( sorry, not in the photo )
i have different types and form of baking pans in the kitchen. in this one, i used my two mini spring-form pan and baked them without water bath ( see the brulée on top? ) that's how it looks like, the no water bath mini cheesecake :(
sometimes i love to play making cheesecake with two toppings using a package of philadelphia cream cheese ( good coz they're widely available now in supermarkets ) layering after with "caprice des anges" - cheese with fondante texture and tastes like fresh cream. Also baking them with no water bath method. Both tastes good together! a good combination :). Aside from using philadelphia cream cheese ( original ) when baking, i am also using flavored one for my cooking :)
with garlic and chives ( mostly when cooking pasta )
with cucumber ( love using it when making spring rolls )
There's also a little bonus inside of philadelphia packages, some recipe tips to try on :)
