Lonewolf77 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Sara Lee cheesecakes are nice you can pick them up frozen from villa mart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yes, either Sara Lee or bake your own. They are very easy to make. Some recipes do not even require baking and are still better than anything you'll get in a restaurant here. Thai-made cheesecakes are a travesty.

IrishIvan Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Bake opposite Wat Chalong. The only place in Phuket that can seriously consider itself a bakery. The cakes are to die for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found a cheesecake in any (nor in Bkk, nor anywhere else in Asia) that is a proper cheesecake by my standards.

hkt83100 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Whenever you get a chance to come to Nong Khai, go to Rudi's German Bakery and try a cheese cake there, you won't go to antoher place in Thailand again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dighambara Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Yes...make your own. It is very easy to do. Whereas the quality of cheesecakes in Thailand is very poor. Wrong..!! Some years ago, Consumer Reports tested Cheesecakes from around the world - the even had cheesecake from France, Boston, New York, LA and many points East and West. The taste test had surprising results, as Sara Lee, the frozen Chessecake got best results - 1st place. Sara Lee is available at Tops, along with a handful of other varieties.

pagallim Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Here's a recipe that I use often, along with a couple of photos of the last one I made about a month ago, a baked lime cheescake with a coconut meringue topping. It's great with a soft fruit sauce, or just plain pouring (whipping) cream. http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/cheese-recipes/my-nyc-cheesecake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A very fine sugar in Britain, so-named because the grains are small enough to fit through a castor, a form of sieve. Commonly used in baking and mixed drinks, it is sold as "superfine" sugar in the United States. Because of its fineness, it dissolves more quickly than regular white sugar, and, so, is especially useful in meringues and cold liquids. Castor sugar can be prepared at home by grinding granulated sugar for a couple of minutes in a food processor." You can buy caster/castor sugar in Villa Market. Here's a video that's quite good, where there's a couple of slight variations to the recipe (adding chocolate to the base mix, vanilla pod to the cheese mix): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I also read the recipe. What is caster sugar???? I was salivating until I read that part. Just a very fine sugar. Castor or caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar in Britain, so named because the grains are small enough to fit though a sugar "caster" or sprinkler.

Somtamnication Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ah, ok. Maybe I need a chemistry course for this dang pie. I went to Villaski Chalongski last night and bought the Sara Lee version (I have not had it in 15 years) and it was ...... ok. Will re watch the video and see if I am brave enough to make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surprisingly easy, and once you've tried it, you won't want another 'bought in' one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some recipes do not even require baking and are still better than anything you'll get in a restaurant here. Thai-made cheesecakes are a travesty. We tried to cook one at home. It was ok for a first try but we didn't persist that way. The total cost of the cake was ridiculously high compared to a normal cake that can be done with just flour, eggs and some fruits or nuts. Just the imported cheese cream that we found at villa market was more than 300 thb. Can you use only Thai made ingredients for a cheese cake?
