Cheesecakes are very popular bakes I’d say. At least here in our kitchen and among friends and family. As soon as a cheesecake, like this one here, is on the table the room turns silent and everyone is handing you their plate to get a slice of it. I am not complaining about that. If everyone is happy and silent… why would I complain?! ;P Another great thing about this Extra Rich Cheesecake – it is sugar-free! Means I can have at least one slice! ;P
Rhubarb is slowly making its way back to the farmer’s markets and grocery stores. I’ve already seen some Rhubarb in early February, but at this point, I would never buy it… it’s just not the right time for it (yet). The recipe here for this Rhubarb Swirl Cheesecake is from last year actually. I love anything with rhubarb so I always have a few recipes “on hold” – recipes I made but never posted. Well… even though it’s still a bit early for rhubarb – now you got something to make if you spot the first “good” rhubarb in stores ;P
I know… a heart-shaped cake is quite obvious and not very innovative when it comes to Valentine’s Day. It’s something everyone expects, right? Well… if you prefer a square cake, you can definitely make this No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Heart in a square baking pan. The result will be just as delicious and will probably look good as well… just a bit “boxy” ;P
Back in the day, this kind of cheesecake was something you could always find at a children’s birthday party. Chocolate Cheesecake aka. Russischer Zupfkuchen is still very popular here in Germany. Everyone loves this cake, I dare to say. If only I wished we had this sugar-free version back then! Maybe I could have avoided getting Diabetes. Just kidding… I would have gotten it anyway. The amount of chocolate and gummy bears I ate over the years was enough to give two people diabetes I guess. Not the occasional piece of cheesecake ;P
I haven’t baked a cheesecake in a while. I know… how could that happen?! Is there a limit for a “cheesecake-free” time? Probably ;) Well, the suffering is ending with this delicious (and sugar-free/no sugar added) Blueberry Cheesecake. I really need to bake cakes like this one here more often. Nothing can beat this creamy beauty with that blueberry topping! Mmmm…!
It’s finally the season for figs again. Yay! I love these purple little fellas and I am more than happy that you can get figs quite cheap right now. I know not everyone loves figs as much as I do, but if you ended up here you are probably a fan too and will like these Honey Fig Cheesecake Bars. They are delicious! ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
