This weeks recipe is a cheesecake, a chocolate cheesecake, and it was chosen by The Tea Lady of Tea and Scones. Yummy choice! Thank you Margaret! I love cheesecake and chocolate so this was one I had to make.
I made my crust with chocolate graham crackers as I had some on hand and in my book, you can never have too much chocolate!
You use a food processor to mix the filling. Using the food processor makes putting this cheesecake together a breeze! I may use my processor for more cheesecake fillings in the future.
The verdict? I loved it! The hubby however wasn't overly impressed. He felt it wasn't as creamy as some I have made. He did eat the piece I gave him though, and ate a piece each night for the consecutive nights I served it for dessert. Go figure! :D
If you'd like to see what the other bakers thought, head over to TWD and check them out.
I wish I'd also made the cappuccino swirl (or doubled the chocolate as Clivia did). But your husband is obviously a very smart man. Even though it wasn't his favorite, it was still good, and who can turn down a slice of good cheesecake?
ReplyDeleteYour cheesecake looks delicious. I bet the cappuccino swirl way yummy. That chocolate sauce looks awesome. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI love your presentation slice. It looks super great.
ReplyDeleteoooohhhhh...your version looks wonderful! I would not try cheesecake when I was younger. I don't know what I was afraid of, I love it now!! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou made the swirl and the fudge sauce. Trade ya a piece!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much of something deemed "so so" my husband can eat! Yours looks divine!
ReplyDeleteOoh, see you really kicked up the chocolate like I wish I would have! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour cheesecake looks beautiful! I love the fudge sauce on top!
ReplyDeleteYour cheesecake looks awesome! And that chocolate sauce dripping over the sides... Wow!
ReplyDeleteI like your creativeness. I think a chocolate crust sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI remember thinking the same thing the first time I was served cheesecake. I think it had gelatin and pinapple in it. I now know it wasn't very authentic. Your cake looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWell, this looks fabulous!!! Nice and creamy - although - I usually add sour cream to cheesecakes - and this didn't require any.. hm. Oh well - LOVE your presentation and the fact that you had no cracks... hmph! :) Beautiful!

I agree that you can't have too much chocolate! Your cheesecake looks great, especially with the chocolate sauce on top. I had to skip this one, but I'll be back at it next week.
