Yam Cheese Cake......

Assalam.... 

first time i saw this recipe..it's open straightly my heart to 'must try it'..Yam...i love yam flavour. The combination between yam, sour cream, cream cheese taste like ...ummph..(cannot described coz it so yummy)

but my kids did not really like it much...they don't like yam....so, i have to 'settle' most of it! Hubby...enough one slice
Muhahahhaa...

Bain steam method ...

Crust/Base

• Oreo cookies - 150g (cream removed*) I use graham cracker
• Butter - 70g (melted)

Crushed & finely ground the oreo cookies.  Pour the melted butter onto the ground cookies and toss well to coat the mixture with butter.  Press into an even layer on the bottom of the cheesecake pan.  Freeze for at least half an hour.

While freezing the base, proceed to make the filling of the cheesecake.
 

Filling/Cheesecake

• 500g cream cheese (room temperature)
• 120g castor sugar
• 2 1/2 eggs (I use 3)
• 150ml whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 3/4 cup yam (peeled, cubed, steamed & pureed)
• 4-5 tbsp (steamed coarse yam chunks - if you prefer the bites of yam in the cake)*
• few drops of purple coloring - optional*

What to do :

Beat cream cheese & sugar until creamy.  Add eggs one at a time, mixing until it is just incorporated.  Gradually add in whipping cream, alternate it with mashed yam & lastly add in salt.  

Note:  don't over mix because we want to incorporate as little air as possible to prevent cake from cracking * 


Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the freezed oreo base cake pan.  Bake at 150c for 60 - 75 minutes or till the edge of the filling is set & center is slightly wobbly.  

Topping 

• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 1/2 coconut milk

Hand whisked together all the ingredients in a bowl.  Mixed well & spread on top of the baked cheesecake.  Bake 5 minutes at 150c.

Note:  Gently whisk it to prevent air bubbles forming **

Cool cheesecake completely in pan on rack, 1-2 hours preferably

Cover cheesecake and chill in the fridge until cold for at least 4 hours or more.  It is best to chill it over-night.
