Nobaked Strawberry Mini Cheesecake

Found this mousse cups from Phoon Huat and just have to get it. Cost $0.80 each, I bought a set of 20s and simply love it. 


Use the moose cup to make some mini strawberry cheesecakes and brought it to a gathering and it was a hit! The kids love it and kept asking me to post the recipe up in my blog so they can make it.  Its actually a really easy cheesecake to make, even small kid like my Baby FAN could make it. She actually help me crush the cookies and spoon in the cream cheese mixture.  Here's the recipe:

Pizza using Wraps

Found this Gardenia Wraps while shopping at NTUC Fairprice and thought I tried using this wraps as pizza base.



The outcome....fantastic.  Loves how the wraps crisp up and it was so thin and light.  I added pork floss and "Bak Kwa" on the pizza and the kids love....it.  Definitely going to do more pizzas from now on.  It's super easy and tasty.  The wraps also comes in wholemeal ones so the pizza can also be healthy too (if I put the healthy toppings lah...like onions, tomato, vegetables etc..) 

Oh ya, I almost forgot to mention this.  Instead of the store bought pizza sauce, I actually made my own by adding sugar to a can of tomato paste.  Mix it to taste...the sauce tasted soooo much better then those pizza sauce that I bought.  Here's how the pizza looks like.  Enjoy!


By the way, for those of you who wants to make an exact replica of this pizza, here's what I did.
