Guide on making yogurt cream cheese cake
Step 1: Prepare the yogurt cream cheese sauce
- Combine 1 carton of unsweetened fresh milk with 5 cheese wedges in a pot. Stir well to mix the ingredients, then simmer over low heat until the cheese completely melts. (Avoid boiling as it may quickly burn and lose the distinctive flavor of milk) Stir continuously to prevent sticking to the bottom.
- Dissolve cornstarch in a bit of filtered water and add it to the heating milk and cheese mixture.
- Simmer until the mixture thickens, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
- Add 2 cans of yogurt to the milk and cheese mixture. Stir well by hand to make the sauce smoother. Refrigerate the sauce for about 30 minutes.

Step 2: Wrap the yogurt cream cheese cake
- For the sandwich bread, trim off 4 edges (brown crust) and use a rolling pin to flatten it. Be gentle while rolling to avoid making the bread tough.
- After thinning the bread, fold it in half into a rectangular shape. Then, spread a thin layer of condensed milk on the edges of the bread to stick the two corners together. Use a plate to press firmly, holding the two corners in place. (Leave a section to add ice cream inside)
