Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 Teaspoon of No Egg - Natural Egg Replacer ( can be purchased by clicking on the link)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
For the base:
Marie biscuit - 1 packets (24 nos)
Chocolate biscuit - 1 pkt
Melted butter - 3 tblspn
For the cake:
Oreo Biscuits : 1 Big packet ( broken into chunks)
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Hung curd - 1 cup
Fresh cream - 1 cup (used Amul cream 200ml)
Agar agar/China grass - 1 pkt (10 gm)
Water - 4 tblspn
1.I used a combination of marie biscuit and chocolate biscuits. You could use marie biscuit alone. Pulse the biscuit coarsely in the mixer along with the melted butter. Or take the biscuits in a zip lock cover and powder it coarsely with the chappathi roller.
2.Take a round spring tin. Spread the biscuit mix on the base of the tin. The base should be firm. So press it down tight. Freeze the base for half an hour. Meanwhile prepare the cake mix.
3.Mix hung curd and cream in a bowl. To get hung curd, take almost 4 cups of fresh curd and tie it in a muslin cloth and hang it. The whey will be drained and you will be left with creamy curd.
4. Break the Oreo biscuits in big chunks. Mix in the biscuits to the curd+cream mix. Mix well so that its uniformly blended in.
5.The China grass I used were strands. I put them in warm water for 10 minutes. Then put that bowl in a pan of boiling water for the china grass to fully dissolve. Add the liquefied agar agar to the mix. Mix it well with a spatula Leave in the refrigerator for overnight, to set.
6.Once set, Open the spring tin and serve the cheesecake. You could garnish with some Oreo Biscuits, though I served it plain.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
