Looks like I hadn't got enough of strawberry treats. Actually there weren't many (fruit) options at the supermarket for me either, but I love strawberries, so that's okay! Bringing its flavour into desserts is way easier than other lighter/mildy flavoured fruits :) Besides, I'm deeply in love with their bright, red colour!! It's extremely attractive and since they taste really sweet, it's a bonus :D

So.., did you guess what I made correctly? I'd call it Berries IceCream Cake. IceCream! That's right. I LOVE ICECREAMS. I wouldn't mind living on them for a week =P It consists of an oreo cookie base, strawberries, raspberry swirled icecream and a little blueberries for garnish. If you try it out once, I promise you'll do it again! It's incredibly easy, it can be done within 30minutes (plus a few hours for the freezing time) and quite importantly, it can be made ahead :D (this dessert is a keeper!)

HELLOOOO AGAIN! :D I've got two great treats up,

Blueberry cheesecake with hazelnut crust

Pumpkin cheesecake with Marshmallow Sour Cream topping

I made both of them last week together (scroll down for more pictures). Lovely yeah? I've been really crazy over cheesecake ever since I baked my first one. I like how dense and neat they are! The blueberry cheesecake ones were great, but I reckon I'd put lesser almond extract next time because the almond taste is really empowering. I wonder if it has got to do with the brand I use..?

I served this with some sliced apricot (bought from Fremantle market in Perth previously :D ) I got the pumpkin puree from Jason's Marketplace. Not sure if you can get the same brand from FairPrice or Cold Storage though. By the way, I did not use the Gingersnap cookies as the cheesecake base. I really cannot find them anywhere!!! Not even in Perth =\ I used Pumpkin oat cracker instead. Haha. (but I still believe Gingersnap cookies would be a better choice!)
