Post#7: Revision— How to Make a Raspberry Cheesecake without an Oven?



According to most of cheesecake recipes, we need to put the cake in oven to bake of the last step. However, we can have different methods to make a cheesecake without an oven.  The tools are easy to get, and we do not have to worry about over baking or do something wrong.  This simple recipe can help you to make a cheesecake successfully,and failure will not happen again.  Get ready, and we are going to make your own raspberry cheesecake with some zipper bags, a stove, a rolling pin and a 6-inch springform pan.


Material
            First of all, we need to prepare materials for the cheesecake.  We can go to grocery stores such as QFC, Albertson or Safeway.  For a cheesecake, the main material will be cream cheese. We cannot make a cheesecake without cream cheese, so we must make sure whether we have a pack of cream cheese or not.  There is what we need for making this cake.  We have to prepare some crackers, 65% unsweetened chocolate, cream cheese, raspberry jam, lemon juice, a cup of strawberry flavor yogurt, milk, gelatin and strawberry flavor powder.  Please check complete material list in below.

Cookie bottom(crust) :
            Crackers 70g
            65 %unsweetened chocolate 35g
Main cheesecake:
Mixing part a.         Cream cheese 150g
                             Raspberry jam 100g
                             Lemon juice 1 tbsp.
                            Mike 50g

Mixing part b.         Mike 70g
                            Gelatin 9g
Jelly Top:
            Gelatin 3g
            Cold water 120g
            Raspberry jam 30g
            Strawberry flavor powder 1 tsp.

Tools and equipment
            Before we really start to make the cake, please make sure whether you have zipper bags, a rolling pin, big bowl for mixing, microwaveable containers or bowls, a pot, a strainer, spoons, a refrigerator, a microwave, a blender and springform pan.  Springform pan will be the most difficult tool to obtain.  If you don't have a springform pan, Amazon and Target will be a good place to get it.   I believe everyone should have other tools in their kitchen. 
Processes (Step by step)
            After we checked that we have all materials and tools that we need, we can start to make our own cheese cake.  Take out zipper bags, crackers and a rolling pin.  Then, put the crackers inside of bags.  This is the most interesting part; shiver the crackers with the rolling pin.  You must be careful that every cracker is crumbled as well.  After done this step, put chocolate inside a microwaveable bowl.  Put the chocolate in a microwave and set about 25 seconds to melt the chocolate.  Add the melted chocolate into the crumbled crackers and mix them evenly. Place them into the bottom of the springform pan and put it in the refrigerator.  
            As we complete the cookie bottom, let's begin to make the main cheesecake part.  We separated to Mixing part A and B part in this process.  For part A, must remember to take out cream cheese from refrigerator, and it will be softer in room temperature.  After it became softer, put all A part material into the blender to mix them thoroughly.  Use the stove and place a pot.  Put the B material milk 70g into the pot, and add the gelatin inside to heat them up.  However, be sure do not over heat the milk (do not boil it).  Next, put the “gelatin milk” into “part A”, and use the blender to mix them again.  Then, we can use the strainer to percolate the mixing liquid about two times, and it would make the cake tastes smooth and soft.  Last but not least, pour the cheesecake liquid into springform pan and place them in the refrigerator again.  After two or three hours, it will become solid.
            We are almost finished with this cheesecake at this point, but we may want this cake to look additionally beautiful and cute.  The last part, we are going to use jelly as decoration to make this cheesecake looks fancy and more delicious.  Pour cold water into the pot, and place them on the stove to heat them up.  The caution here is also doing not boil them.  Add gelatin, strawberry flavor powder and raspberry jam into the water.  Turn off stove, and wait until it cools.  Take out the cheesecake that we put in the refrigerator previously.  Make sure it is solid that we can use a spoon to put the jelly liquid on its top.  Carefully, pour the jelly liquid into the top of the cheesecake. Otherwise, it will destroy the cheesecake that we made.  Next, put the cake into the refrigerator again.  This will be the last time we put the cake inside.
            After those processes, we can read some magazines or watch television to wait the jelly top solidify.  It might be taking above one hour, and then it became solid.  That means we make this cake completely.  You can start to eat it or give this cheesecake as a present to you friends. Making a cake by ourselves will be interesting and funny.
