Chocolate Cheesecake

The internet is not working again and I am not happy! I'm posting this from the office. Obviously not during working hours, just in case if people are checking. I hope you all had a great weekend. I told you on my previous post that I might bake on the weekend and I did: chocolate cheesecake. Yum! I didn't plan to bake cheesecake but this was a request from my dear friend Michelle. She wanted to learn to make cheesecake, so she came around on Sunday and helped with the baking and she did all the washing-up. She can definitely come again.

The only thing that we change to the recipe is instead of using digestive biscuits for the base, we use gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. Michelle is allergic to gluten. It'll be such a shame if she cannot taste the delicious cheesecake. And the gluten-free cookies work just fine.

Anyway, gotta go home now. I am tired and hungry. Unlike chocolate and cheesecake, these are not good combinations.

Have a great one!

  5. Since I announced to the whole world about my chocolate addiction...did you have to post this sinfully chocolate cheesecake?...oh, my! Looks so incredibly light and delicious! Yummm:DDD

    Sorry about your problems with the Internet, Michael. I keep having to tell people to have the Name/URL on the comment section, because half the time Google will not let me comment from my own account, and have to rely on Firefox. Earlier got a message, that "firefox crashed"...so good luck!
