First, I decided to make individual portions so that it would be easier to serve (no need to cut), especially it's for a picnic at an outdoor venue. Secondly, I went hunting for Philadelphia brand for the cream cheese to see if it really tastes better than the "brandless" cream cheese that I bought at Phoon Huat for the last 2 attempts. I said "hunting" as Rivervale Mall NTUC doesn't sell those blocks of Philadelphia cream cheese; they only sell the spread type. Thirdly, I choose a flavour of yogurt - Mixed Fruit, that should be less sour, in my opinion, as compared to Strawberry or Mango flavour. Since I choose the Mixed Fruit flavour yogurt, I can choose any fruit to decorate the top of the cheesecake, so I decorated with canned longan and nata de coco.

Outcome? It was well received at the picnic, especially the parents. My son loves it! I tried it too, and have to say that using Philadelphia brand for the cream cheese does make the cheescake tastes a lot nicer! The Mixed Fruit flavour of yogurt also makes the cheesecake less sour as compared to my last 2 attempts.
I had also made 2 other changes but I don't think these changes had any impact to the taste or look. I had invested in a Kitchen Aid Mixer, so it was my KA's maiden mixing! I only used 3 colours since individual serving is a lot smaller than a whole cake, which I used 6 colours.
