It turned out really well and it is super simple to make. The only thing is that I made it in a 9 inch springform pan and it turned out too thin as the pan was too wide. I'm thinking maybe an 8 inch pan may be better.
We put fresh cherries on top that my mom bought from Giant for RM10 as they were having a promotion. Also we put some decorative marzipan leaves that my mom made some time ago.
Below is the recipe.
Makes an 8 inch cake
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 2/3 cup icing sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 110g crackers
- 90g butter
- 2 tbsp castor sugar
Instructions
- Mash the crackers by putting them into a plastic bag and using a rolling pin or something heavy to mash them.
- Melt the butter in the microwave oven and mix well with the mashed crackers and the sugar.
- Press it into an 8 inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 7 minutes and let cool for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, beat the softened cream cheese with the icing sugar and vanilla.
- Whip the cream in a separate beater using the specific whip for whipping cream, until soft peaks form.
- Fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and beat to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the cooled crust prepared earlier.
- Put it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set.
So that is the recipe I used. I have modified it a bit for my own preferences. Here is the original recipe. Thanks for reading! I hope your turns out well!
