Chocolate Chip Baking Week 5: Chocolate Chip Mini Cheesecakes

These gorgeous babies were included in this baking week as vying for a part in the ‘Most Creative Use Of Chocolate Chip Cookie/Dough’. No, they did not win at all, beating the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes was a hard call but I do believe next time I make them, things might get a little heated between the two – and I assure you there will be a next time 🙂

The only real contribution made concerning chocolate chip cookies or their dough when I made this was really only crushing up the Mrs Field’s version of my first chocolate chip cookie tried (the last remaining after my brother and his mates happily polished off the rest :P) in the crust and adding chocolate chips into the batter, as the name suggests.

Diwali Baking #3

This is a repeat cake. I know, what in the world am I doing, repeating recipes instead of trying new ones from the insanely huge list I have pending.

Happy 16th Cheesecake, I mean Birthday 2011

Aaaah, my piece de resistance (sans accents!) for this party. Rich. velvety. Caramel.
Honeycomb. Cheesecake. The perfect end to a perfect night making a horror movie
not so scary but oh so Rich. velvety.

I cannot describe the texture and overall brilliance of
this cake. All I can tell you is that it finished at my party and my mum was
scraping the cake closh for crumbs because she loved it so – thank you for this recipe!

And my mum doesn’t adore cheesecake. Scary, I know… =D

Triple C Dairy Competition

Actually Written: Term 3 2011

This was actually an in-school thing for my food tech
class. We entered a Dairy Competition and the group I was part of decided to
make cheesecakes. And this is truly our own recipe! It is an awesome batter,
one orange and one chocolate swirled together served with chocolate sauce,
Jaffa candy and candied orange.
