Many times i got stuck in what i want to write in my blog, and how to start writing or have an opening statement... just like now.
Perhaps i should just leave it as Wordless Tuesday, or maybe not?
This Oreo Lemon non-baked cheesecake (aka icebox cheesecake) is made especially for my youngest aunt steph, whose birthday falls on this Thursday. We had a little celebration on Sunday and we will be getting a birthday treat from her this Friday. It's celebration-makan-and celebration-makan and more celebration-makan since Dec and it does not seem to end anytime soon ;-) That's how fortunate coming from a very big family like us!

I would love to try this recipe. It's lighter compared to the other cheesecakes and I'm sure nothing goes wrong with oreo :P
What a great dessert!
Hi Hooney,
Really look forward to seeing your bread & i'm sure you will get addicted to the smell of bread baking in your oven!!
Hi Honey Bee Sweets,
This is a no-fuss cheesecake to curb your cravings ;-)
Hi Grace,
Tks, but the oreo was actually use to 'hide' the plain-looking cheesecake...hahah. Luckily the combination turned out fine ;-)
Hi Jane,
Kekeke.... if you noticed, i use strawberries very often to decorate my cakes as i like the bright & cheery colour, and they are easily available in the supermarket!
Hi Pei-Lin,
If i'm not wrong, you too came from a big family right?
Hi tracieMoo,
Yes, this cheesecake is not the heavy & dense type. A refreshing dessert when eaten cold. Do give it a try ;-)
Cheers,
