pecfection not yet attained

This was a no bake cheesecake. I love how it looks with its baby pink appearance garnished with occasional smudges of pure white. The white parts were not intentional though, it was because I failed to prperly combine the mixture that brought about this rather pretty design . Blessing in disguse. The cake definitely still need some work. I am posting the recipe i used here and the adjustment i intend tio make the next time i attempt this no bake cheesecake.

a block of cream cheese, softened, diced
2 cups homemade cool whip
2/3 cup boiling water
2 tsp agar powder( used a red colour one)
strawberry essence
1/2 tsp stevia(= 1/2 cup sugar)
-combine boiling water with agar, stawberry essence and stevia over heat until throughly combined.
-make the cool whip and portion out about 2 cups
-continue whipping as you add hte cream cheese to the portioned out cool whip
-stream in the dissloved agar mixture
-pour into pan( 9 inch pie pan) and refrigerate.

i felt that the cake was too firm and not sweet enough. the texture was a little to agar-ish.

changes I will make in future:
  • reduce amount of agar used so cake will be less firm and more creamy-ish ( try 1 tsp)
  • increase amount of sweetener ( try 3/4 tsp sweetener)
