TWD: Tall and Creamy Cheesecake

I think my cheesecake deserves an award for being the ugliest cheesecake ever! To divert your attention away from the ugly cheesecake, I've placed some nice looking strawberries as garnish, does that work? ;-)

I made only 1/4 portion of the recipe because I have to bake all the recipes picked for the month of January within these two weeks and then I'll be back to Singapore for a month (yay!). I made a lemon version and all I got was a mini 2.5-inch cheesecake. Anyway, it was definitely overbaked, as the top of the cake was in dark brown color. Taste wise, well, as I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, it tasted ok for me, not overly dense and heavy. Hubby liked it a lot though, and he thought the cheesecake looked ok too, until I showed him the picture from the cookbook... and then he laughed out loud. Hmm...

Head over to Anne's blog if you want to give the recipe a try!

In the mean time, here's wishing all of you, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
