Cherry Cheesecake

OMG. Is it thursday? Where has the time gone? Tuesday and Wednesday has been such long busy days that I’ve been dreaming of getting deliciously loong sleeping time on cold air conditioned room and tucked inside warm blankets since yesterday. Of course, I could lock myself inside our bedroom and do just that but Ykaie is back to school and to top it off, she has exams for three days — including saturday.

We are so back to waking up at 4:30 am-ish. So pardon me if I sound drunk on this blog…..

And before I embarrass myself and talk about things I shouldn’t be talking about, let’s talk about cheesecake.

This Cherry Cheesecake was our dessert last NYE. Instead of sugar, which I used with the Nutella Swirl Cheesecake Bars, I used condensed milk as a sweetener. It must be my imagination but I swear it gave an extra oomph to its taste. Because I was  in a hurry and we were preparing other dishes, I didn’t bother to put this in a water bath anymore. It wasn’t as smooth as expected but it tasted heavenly. It was gone before the night was over. I was kinda bitin and I promise to make one again to be eaten as dessert or with coffee at home.

Cheesecake is my favorite and I’m playing with different recipes to get my perfect cheesecake.

  1. When I was a kid, my mother made me a Cherry cheesecake pie for my birthday every year because it was my favorite. I never had her recipe. This looks like it or close enough. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to make it!!! Thanks! A happy 2015 Peachy!! Now go get some sleep. 🙂

  2. When I was a little tyke, I didn’t like cherries so I would end up scraping them off before eating the cheesecake. Now that my palate has changed, I would love to try this!

  3. OMG CHEESECAKE! This sounds so yummy. I will definitely have to try this. I agree with Aisha, it’d be a good dessert for Valentines day. Great idea!

  4. Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. I don’t know what I would do without it! I love it just about any way someone can make it. Cherry. Blueberry. Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin; which I think it my fave.

  5. I’m usually not fond of cherries, but I do love cheesecake. I bet this cheesecake is scrumptious in every sense of the word!
