Last Friday, I made a cheesecake for the first time. I’ve been at home with the kids for a while, and I’ve been having this weird need\/desire to bake. It’s weird, because I’ve never been much into baking, or into making desserts, for that matter. But lately, that’s what I’ve been wanting to cook.
\nSo Friday I made this recipe<\/a> for white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake. I omitted the strawberries, but the cheesecake by itself was REALLY GOOD. Alas, it didn’t taste at all like white chocolate, but it didn’t matter, as it really tasted like cheesecake and I love cheesecake.
\nSo I learned a few things while making it. First of all, cheesecake is freaking expensive! I don’t want to think how much money I spent in buying all the ingredients. Just like with ice cream, it’s cheaper to buy the pre-made stuff. Second, cheesecake is pretty much fat and sugar. That’s why it tastes so good, but I could feel my arteries clogging while making it. I don’t think I’ll make it again, unless it’s for someone else to eat. Third, it’s not hard to make cheesecake, though it can be time consuming.
\nAnyway, the recipe I linked to is pretty good. If you make it, read the comments. The recipe makes enough batter for 1 1\/2 cakes. I didn’t have 2 cake pans, so I put the remaining batter in ramekins and cooked them along the cake on a pan with water. I actually liked these “cheesecake puddings” more than the cake itself. I used chessmen chocolate cookies for the crust, which was good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
