This looks intriguing...I'm guessing Cointreau as a jaffa liqueur ingredient.
Could you share the recipe with us? Thanks.

Hi Aunty Yochana,
I always follow your daily bakes and still vy amazed :)
Could I hv the recipe for this yummy cake? I'm a chocoholic hehe..
Btw, aunty, I'd love to try some of your cheesecake recipe, but I read steam bake / baine marie...what does it mean? Can this be done using normal oven or it's a special oven?
Thanks so much
Alice
Hi alice,
Baine marie is a method whereby you used for baking cheesecake so that is will turn our moist and smooth. Fill a large pan containing hot water , place into the oven and then place your cheesecake into the hot water, making sure that no water will seep in if you're using springform tin. Wrap your springform tin with aluminium foil.

Hi wingigi,
Place 1 - 2 Tbsp. of butter into a saucepan, scoop some brown sugar and cook till sugar melts then put in your sliced bananas and stir till it's well coated. Do not over cook the bananas otherwise it will break into pieces.

Dizzy,
Of course you can use Oreo biscuits..it will taste more delicious.
Once I over bought St. Michael's chocolate coated biscuits and used it as base for my cheesecake and then gave it to my daughter's piano teacher. The next day the piano teacher came and tell me that her teenage kids love the cheesecake so much especially the base...hahaha...isn't it a trick??

I was wondering if I can substitute Chocolate Graham Crackers to 280 gm. plain chocolate biscuits - Khong Guan? I think it's not available in our country.
