Simple Pleasures

Sometimes the simple things make us the happiest!  A smile, a hug, or just five minutes of peace can make your day so much better!  The same is true with cheesecake.  A piece of smooth New York style cheesecake is unbeatable.  Make that a piece of cheesecake AND five minutes of peace and you’re close to a miracle!

I make this cheesecake with either a plain shortbread crust or a brownie shortbread crust.  I have to say, the brownie shortbread crust is my all time favorite!!!  This cheesecake is perfect without any extra toppings.  However, a little raspberry sauce brings a whole new dimension to each slice.

What do you get when you put a cheesecake inside a cake? An addiction!! Literally, these cakes are so good you just have to have another piece. I make an original New York cheesecake first. Then I bake two homemade traditional cake layers. The cheesecake layer is then sandwiched between the cake layers with delicious homemade frosting! Each cake takes quite a bit more time to make but is worth every minute! Check out the varieties I’ve made so far! More to come in the near future!!

Well . . . actually you can. Many will agree that cheesecake is just too big of a temptation to resist. Half the fun for me is creating the masterpiece to be shared with friends and family! Each member of my family chooses a cheesecake for me to create for his/her birthday. This ritual has given me the opportunity to try new recipes and discover some of my favorites. Here are a few that can't be beat: N e a p o l i t a n W h i t e C h o c o l a t e R a s p b e r r y
