Awwwwww, look at my little engineer.
The new oven arrives Monday morning! Until then, here's another delightful no-bake recipe. Danny was so excited he could hardly wait until evening to dig in...and pretty much announced to anyone that would listen that "Mama made chocolate cheesecake for dessert!" Mr. Eat The Blog had just stepped in the door when Danny dragged him to the fridge to admire it.
So how was the much-hyped cheesecake? Pretty darn good. In fact, I'm really thinking I prefer these to the heavy, New York style baked versions with eggs and a ton of cream cheese and sour cream. This was just enough.
Completely unrelated-we are getting a winter storm tonight. The worst of the snow is supposed to go North, but we're getting high winds so even a few inches of snow will be a mess. Yay, Midwestern Spring!
You Will Need:
Crust:
About 20 chocolate graham crackers, finely crushed and 1 stick unsalted butter, melted. Mix together, press into pie plate and chill.
For The Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
2 squares bittersweet chocolate, melted (2 oz)
Whip cream and set aside. In a large bowl, on high speed, beat the cream cheese until light. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until very smooth and light. Beat in the melted chocolate. Beat in the whipped cream until very light. Pour into pie plate and decorate with melted chocolate.
Chill several hours before serving.
For Decoration:
2 squares bittersweet chocolate, melted
2 squares white chocolate, melted
