Cheesecake

| cooking | baking |

Last time I was home I went to a second hand discount store called Ollie’s where I bought this huge cookbook for around five bucks that is filled with all sorts of amazing recipes. I have been using it for almost a year now and it has yet to fail me.

My latest concoction is this delicious looking cheesecake.

It is a very basic recipe and you can go crazy with the toppings. I chose this delicious berry medley but you can use whatever you like.

Last time I made a cheesecake my crust got burned and I was very upset. This book taught me a little trick and it makes so much sense. When you put the cake in the oven put it in a large roasting pan filled with hot water. I am going to attribute that little trick to the crust not burning this time around.

As delicious as this looks I am not going to touch it until thanksgiving. So into the fridge it goes until turkey day!

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
