5-Layer Cookie 'Box' Brownie Cheesecake

Ingredients
for 8 servings

16 oz (455 g) chocolate chip cookie dough, 1 tube, room temperature
36 oz (1 kg) brownie mix, 2 boxes, batter prepared according to package instructions
24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
� cup (100 g) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
40 double-stuffed chocolate cookie sandwiches
whipped cream, for serving

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350�F (180�C).
Line a 9-inch (22-cm) springform pan with 2 layers of plastic wrap long enough to hang over the sides.
Press the cookie dough evenly into a circle along the bottom of the pan, then fold the plastic wrap over the top.
Unclasp the pan and freeze the cookie dough disk.
Re-clasp the pan, then spray the bottom with cooking spray.
Pour in the brownie batter.
Spray the bottom and sides of a 5-inch (12-cm) or deeper, 8-inch (20-cm) wide cake pan, then press the greased cake pan into the brownie mix until the batter reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake for 35 minutes, then cool for about 5 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300�F (150�C).
In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
While the brownie is still warm, carefully rotate and press down on the cake pan using oven mitts or pads to push the cooked brownie even more up the sides of the springform pan into an even ring. Chill 30 minutes.
Arrange a single layer of the sandwich cookies, roughly 14-15, on the bottom of the brownie shell as close together as possible.
Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the cookies and spread evenly across the top.
Tap the pan to release any large air bubbles, then bake for about 40 minutes until the cheesecake slightly jiggles in the center. Freeze until the top of the cheesecake is slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
Arrange another layer of cookies on top of the cheesecake layer, then place the frozen cookie dough disk on top.
Tuck in any edges, then bake for 20 minutes.
Chill completely, then release the pan. Slice, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream topped with another cookie!
Enjoy!

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
