“What inspired me to do this Iced Gem Basque Burnt Cheesecake? Well, back in the olden days, when I was a kid, I used to love eating this particular biscuit that my mother used to get for me in this Chinese uncle’s biscuit shop. There, all the biscuits or wafers are sold in weight form. The biscuit is called Ice Gem or Biskut Butang. Somehow, I think kids in the 80’s will definitely recognize this biscuit. It has a base of a crunchy milky base, topped with a sweet hard icing sugar that has been piped to look like a cupcake topping. It has 4 different colors,..green, yellow, pink and white! Even it all tastes the same, some might prefer to eat a particular color only…God knows why! So, yes! this I think really can relate with Malaysian Flavours, if you ask me! It also brings you back to the memory lane. I simply added the crushed biscuits to give it a little bit extra on the texture and also the appearance when you cut through. Also, the sweetness of the piped whipped cream on top resembles the biscuit’s look as a whole. It also brings a sense of happiness when you see the mixture of colors on the cake. Anyone who look at it, will remember how we, Malaysians, as a child, enjoy having the crunchy sweet biscuits with lots of different color toppings!” – Syahirah Aqilah Yusof
