No-Bake Mango Cheesecake Ingredients For the base: 150g digestive biscuits 100g unsalted butter, melted 2 tbsp white sugar For the filling: 650g cream cheese, softened 1 cup icing sugar ½ cup lemon juice 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 tbsp milk 1 ½ cups mango puree 2 tsp gelatin powder ¼ cup cold water For the topping (optional): 300ml whipping cream 1 tbsp icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract Fresh mango slices Passionfruit (optional) Instructions Make the base: Crush the biscuits into a fine crumb. You can do this by placing them in a sealed bag and bashing them with a rolling pin, or pulsing them in a food processor. Melt the butter and stir it into the biscuit crumbs until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the base of a greased springform pan. Make the filling: Using an electric whisk, beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and gelatin powder. Let it stand for a few minutes to allow the gelatin to soften. Heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for a few seconds until it dissolves completely. Do not overheat it, or the gelatin will lose its setting power. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the mango puree until just combined. Pour the cheesecake filling over the biscuit base and smooth out the top. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until it is completely set. Make the topping (optional): Whip the cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.

Sheet Pan Scalloped Potatoes The image you sent is of gratin dauphinois, a French potato dish similar to scalloped potatoes. However, there are some key differences between the two. Scalloped potatoes are typically made with a bechamel sauce, while gratin dauphinois is made with cream. Additionally, scalloped potatoes can be made with a variety of cheeses, while gratin dauphinois is traditionally made with Gruyère cheese. Here is a recipe for Sheet Pan Scalloped Potatoes: Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick) 1 onion, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Spread the potato mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the heavy cream over the potatoes. Sprinkle the Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses over the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown. #BOOMchallenge #5dishchallenge #foodlover #BOOMchallenge #icancookchallenge #foodart #dinner #food #foodlovers #CulinaryChallenge #EpicFoodQuest #TasteExplosionChallenge #GourmetBattle #PlateArtistry #FeastVisuals #HomeChefHeroes #CreativeCooksChallenge #DishMaster #FlavorAdventures

French Onion Grilled Cheese Ingredients: Bread: Choose a hearty bread that can hold the fillings, like sourdough, rye, or French bread. You'll need 4 slices, about ½ inch thick. Onions: 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced. Butter: 2-3 tablespoons for sauteing the onions and grilling the bread. Cheese: Gruyere is a classic choice, but you can also use cheddar, mozzarella, or a combination. You'll need about 1 cup shredded cheese. Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar are typical. You can also get fancy with fresh thyme or a splash of balsamic vinegar. Optional: Dijon mustard adds a nice tang. Steps: Caramelize the onions: This is the key step for a flavorful sandwich. Sauté the thinly sliced onions in butter over medium heat until softened and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Prepare the bread: Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. If using, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the other side. Assemble the sandwich: Place two slices of bread, buttered-side down, in a skillet or pan. Top with half the caramelized onions and cheese. Add the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up. Grill the sandwich: Cook over medium heat, pressing down gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes per side. You can use a panini press for even grilling. #BOOMchallenge #5dishchallenge #foodlover #BOOMchallenge #icancookchallenge #foodart #dinner #food #foodlovers #CulinaryChallenge #EpicFoodQuest #TasteExplosionChallenge #GourmetBattle #PlateArtistry #FeastVisuals #HomeChefHeroes #CreativeCooksChallenge #DishMaster #FlavorAdventures

Espresso Tiramisu Ingredients Ladyfingers: You can buy them already made, or you can make your own from scratch. Mascarpone cheese Espresso or strong coffee Heavy whipping cream Granulated sugar Vanilla extract Cocoa powder for dusting Instructions Make the coffee. Brew strong coffee or espresso. You can also use instant espresso powder mixed with hot water. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale and thick. This will take about 5 minutes. Mascarpone cheese. Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture and continue to whip until smooth. Whip the heavy cream. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Combine the mascarpone mixture and whipped cream. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture gently, until just combined. Assemble the tiramisu. Dip the ladyfingers quickly into the coffee, making sure not to soak them. Line the bottom of a baking dish with a single layer of ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Then dust with cocoa powder. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of cocoa powder. Refrigerate. Cover the dish and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 2 hours, or overnight. #BOOMchallengeBOOMchallenge #5dishchallenge #foodlover #BOOMchallenge #icancookchallenge #foodart #dinner #food #foodlovers #CulinaryChallenge #EpicFoodQuest #TasteExplosionChallenge #GourmetBattle #PlateArtistry #FeastVisuals #HomeChefHeroes #CreativeCooksChallenge #DishMaster #FlavorAdventures
