Pandan Cheesecake

Who doesn't love cheese? I think most of us love this ingredient. But unfortunately from where I come from it's a rare thing to find various kind of cheese. Only cheddar cheese that always available in the market. So Cheesecake with cream cheese have to wait a little while. 

Trying to be creative with the recipe with cheddar cheese, I really glad the cheesecake turn out so soft and moist and fit to my taste not too creamy. Flavor with pandan juice, the cheesecake aroma is lovely.
In this cheesecake I only use 50 ml pandan juice just for the aroma not the colour, but if you like more green in your cheesecake you can use more.
