9. Line a 6 or 7" round cake tin or 12-cupcake tins. Fill up cake or cupcake cases till 3/4 or almost full.
10. Bake in water bath for 90 minutes for a whole cake, or 45-50 minutes if using cupcake/muffin tins. Leave cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
11. Refrigerate overnight. Serve with more rum-laced raisins, if you like ^^.
* Note: I reduced the quantity of flours from the original cheesecake recipe, hence my cheesecakes actually cracked, but they came together again when cooled.. Anyways, I have no problem with cracked tops ^^ I'd rather that than "floury-tasting" cheesecakes! ^^
I really like this cheesecake base recipe. Not only is it wonderful with blueberry, it's also totally yummy-licious with apple! And it rocks rum n raisin too! Soooooooo delish!!!!!!! I mean it! ^^
Big loves this cheesecake ^^ So do we! ^^ ^^ ^^
Rum & raisins cheesecake....the name already sound delicious not to say had a bite into the mouth. I think baking it into the muffin pan would cut short the baking time, right? Are you trying to get big pig slowly starting his boozy drink trying to bake it in cheesecake now that he is 17 already.....lol!! Anyway thanks for this recipe....I might try this one day.
ReplyDeleteBig pig and baby pig doesn't need any introduction to booze.. they are very well acquainted with it already, haha! I'm the poor drinker in the family.. I don't even like shandy! But I don't mind rum n stuff in my cakes ^^
ReplyDeleteIf you do try this recipe one day, and you don't like your tops cracked, do follow d original recipe in the blueberry cheesecake post. ^^
Did I say this cheesecake is good? It's very very very very very good! ^^
