CHEESECAKE!!!

Task: to create the ULTIMATE cheesecake that 1) tastes like Tyler's version 2) melts in your mouth 3) look great 4) must be strawberry version (unlike the Tyler's version of blueberry) 5) cheap!!!
Shopping: I bought everything according to the recipe and it turns out HEB has it all so it wasn't that hard to these anywhere. (pre-thought) this is easy enough...

Preparations: So the "judges" want a strawberry version instead of the "weird" looking blueberry version. I bought the strawberry jams and fresh strawberry; very sweet ones too. This part is time consuming because there were numerous of ingredients and on top of that this is my first attempt in making dessert. I followed step-by-step of the recipe as instructed and things are quite much harder than i thought =[. The crust part was quite hard and took a big portion of my time for this cheesecake. ALAS....
Baking: Once again, i followed the instructions of the recipe and also modified a few things: strawberry instead of blueberry, my jams for the topping were not hand-made but pre-made, lime instead of lemon, hand-crusted graham crackers for the crust instead of pre-made crust. This is the final version fresh out of the oven...

Patience: So according to the recipe, I have to let it cool down and wait patiently at least 6-8 hours before serving and this is what i did, painfully and slowly...

Premiere:

Verdict: a 3/4 thumbs because Mctoosh thinks it's a great imitation whereas the other judge's comment was "too soft...i would like it to be more solid.." -_-


p.s. New judge name is Cherry Minneapolis
