BalconySmoken Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I love cheesecake! When I was living in Austin I was given a generous slice of a blueberry smoked cheesecake from a friends smokehouse restaurant in Blanco. So I thought I would give something a crack. I had a heap of raspberries in the freezer that I needed to get rid of (somebody has filled the freezer with meat!). I used this recipe (times 2): https://letsdishrecipes.com/2018/06/white-chocolate-raspberry-swirl-cheesecake.html for the grill setup:I used the temperature as described in the recipe, I made a foil pouch of applewood chips, and put a pan of water on the heat deflector. Cakes were on the top grate. all was going well until my foil pouch had some sort of critical failure: a heap of smoke came out all at once and not the gentlesmoke I was aiming for.after the cook I discovered the foil had disintegrated so all the chips must have lit up rather than smouldered. The cake tasted sensational, although it was a little bitter on the top which I assume was from the smoke explosion. Luckily it wasn’t overly bitter- I just would have preferred a softer smoker flavour. Next time I will double down on the foil! so tips for Singaporean’s and other non American residents: half and half is just half milk and half cooking cream (the runny stuff - not thick or whipping cream, just plane old cream. And don’t go light - you aren’t making cake to loose weight; go for a run) if in Singapore, buy all your stuff at Phoon Huat or other as it is heaps cheaper than the supermarket for the ingredients (I use the one at Holland village) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Fantastic looking cheesecake. Me and Mrs skreef has made them numerous times in the KK. Cheesecake is one of those things that will soak up a bunch of smoke. Next time try using regular lump (not Coco char) without any chips. Most lumps give off a little smoke flavor which will probably be enough to give the cheesecake a kiss of smoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Oh, that looks awesome. I'd try just uses regular lump and no smoking wood and see how you like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
