I would like to serve up my most ‘terer’ Malaysian themed burnt cheesecake using Anchor Cream Cheese and Anchor Whipping Cream. I have created a 5 layered burnt cheesecake with our King of fruits, Durian, our favourite Malaysian spread, Pandan Kaya, our staple drink, Milo, our homegrown and healthy antioxidants Butterfly Pea Flower and at the same time maintaining a layer of original taste of burnt cheesecake. The multi layers, colours and texture of the 5 layered burnt cheesecake represents the multi flavours, multi culture and colours of Malaysia. This recipe is best made with Anchor cream cheese and Anchor whipping cream. I will also be using my homegrown Pandan Leaves and Butterfly Pea Flowers from my garden which I used them often for homecooking.”
