Instructions

1. Make biscuit base

  • In a pot on medium heat, melt butter. Set aside to cool.

  • In a food processor, add biscuits, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp milk powder and blend until fine.

  • Add melted butter and process into a crumble.

  • In a 5 inch ring mold, add crumble, and compress into a flat disc. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes.


2. Boil thai milk tea concentrate

  • In a pot on medium heat, add 250 ml water, pandan leaves and thai tea leaves. Bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat and set aside for 15 minutes for tea to steep.

| For a stronger flavor, use more tea leaves, but do not steep them for too long -this causes the tea to become more bitter.

  • Strain out 100 ml tea and add 100 ml sweetened condensed milk. Stir and set aside.


3. Make cheesecake mixture and bake cheesecake

  • In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese and whisk until smooth. Whisk in 1 egg, 60 g sugar and 70 g flour.

  • When combined, stir in Thai milk tea concentrate and mix well.

  • Pour into ring mold with biscuit base.

  • Bake at 150°C for 45 minutes, then chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

| Goes great with vanilla ice cream!
