A sugar cookie cheesecake can be made with any cheesecake recipe – by just incorporating this delicious homemade sugar cookie crust. This is my Mom’s tried and true sugar cookie recipe, which I grew up on. I have turned it into funfetti cookies, chocolate cookies, game day cookies, fall leaf […]
I love my white chocolate cheesecake – but add to it some balls of chocolate chip cookie dough, and an Oreo crust – well, this just might be my favorite cheesecake ever! It has the smoothness and creaminess of a cheesecake, with pieces of chocolate chip cookie dough scattered throughout […]
The best thing about these Oreo cheesecake bites – besides the Oreos and cheesecake – is the SIZE of them! No need for a full slice of cheesecake – when you can just finish one of these off in about 3 bites! They are perfect for parties, or a sweet […]
This amazing cheesecake will be DESSERT at my holiday dinner this weekend! It actually took me 3 tries (over the last few weeks) to get it exactly the way I wanted it. That means perfection, right? Well at least it’s perfect for me! While I love peppermint bark, I didn’t […]
Lemon meringue pie – LOVE IT! Cheesecake – LOVE IT! I combined the two into these adorable lemon meringue mini cheesecakes. I love to use my homemade lemon curd – but you can use the store bought curd – you will need 2 jars for this recipe. See link below: […]
Such a simple design, made for a very special birthday cake! Inside of this beauty, is a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake (see my prior post), with layers of fresh raspberry puree, whipped mascarpone cream, and 2 more layers of vanilla cake. It is frosted with a smooth layer of light […]
I made this cake for my daughter’s birthday – it’s actually a small 6″ size cake! I love to freeze cake layers for several days, or for a few weeks (tightly wrapped). The moisture content improves with this technique. I then thaw the layers while still wrapped in plastic. For […]
My favorite combination – both a cheesecake AND a cake. It’s soft and fluffy from the cake, yet rich, moist, and cream-cheesy from the cheesecake. Super easy to put together. You could bake your own, but my time saver for this cake included a pre-made 7″ key lime cheesecake (from […]
I’m often inspired by what I have in my refrigerator. Today, it was 2 pints of fresh blueberries. I thought it would be nice to turn these into a new version of my white chocolate cheesecake. BUT – I wanted a small cheesecake just for the 2 of us. Let’s […]
My daughter Jennifer loved my recent post for a White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, and asked if I could make it in a KEY LIME version. I thought my creamy, delicious white chocolate cheesecake would be perfect, blended with veins of tart and sweet key lime curd running through it! I […]
I often have some homemade lemon curd in my refrigerator – and tonight I thought a little “cheesecake” would be a perfect way to use it. Try my microwave version, or go ahead and use store-bought. See my prior post for microwave Citrus Curd. Both will work for this recipe. […]
My oldest daughter Jennifer is turning 34 this month! WHHAAATT? How did that happen?? She is my first born, and of course, it feels like only yesterday. I decided to surprise her with an “early birthday cake” today! I thought a vanilla cheesecake/cake would be perfect. I made an 8″ […]
I’m not a big fan of “cake pops”. Just not into smashed up cake and frosting on a stick – although my grand babies love them! But take that idea, and make it out of cheesecake?? I’m all over that! I’ve posted a key lime cake, and key lime cupcakes. […]
My BFF Carolann just celebrated a birthday. I was in charge of making the cake, and wanted to come up with something that really defines some of her favorite flavors. For one thing, she loves cheesecake. For another, she loves German chocolate cake. So I was determined to combine the […]
