We make cheesecake which we all love however we make it plain all the time. I have been trying new things and have a tried a coconut macaroon one which was really good but that is about it. I want to jazz up my recipe and make it even better any tips or recipes you have tried are welcome as it is our dessert for our Christmas Dinner.

I like to make cheescake and add mini choc chips to the batter.
Then, I like to drizzle a bit of caramel topping on the top. Then add finely chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the caramel. Oh...and I use choc graham crackers for the crust rather than regular graham cracker crust.
When done, it's like a turtle cheesecake. Can also put some whip cream on each piece as it's served. Yum.

My daughter's birthday is next week. She has requested that I make a cheesecake for her cake. She has ordered:
Choc graham cracker crust.
Regular cheesecake center.
Chocolate ganache flavored with peppermint poured over the cheesecake.
BC snowflakes to decorate the top of the ganache. Her wish is my command...lol.

Getus, that sounds great.. make me one too! LOL

yum that sounds good

I luv cheesecake. One I make I use almonds, pecans, and walnuts for the crust. The other I use chocolate oreo cookies crushed. Then with the chocolate crust I make my cheesecake, mix in raspberries gently. Then I melt white chocolate after cooled and drizzle it on top. White chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Sometime I will also gently melt raspberry jam and spread some on top before chocolate.

I took this to a pot luck last night and everyone in the room asked me for the recipe. It is delicious!
