It is still too hot for baking to be honest. But the desire for something sweet can’t be stopped by high temperatures, right? ;) So what else can we do? Well… get the fan to the kitchen and heat up the oven. This cheesecakes baked in glass jars with cherry compote are definitely worth the work in a hot kitchen. Fortunately, the cakes are the perfect snack to bring along to a lake or picknick in the woods… so definitely something you should think about ;)
The heat right now here in Berlin does not make me want to heat turn on the oven. Mainly because my flat is right under the roof and if it’s warm outside for more than two days, my kitchen turns into a Finnish sauna ;) I can’t stop making sweet stuff though I have to come up with alternative ways of “baking”. Well, actually “no-baking” cakes. This beauty with golden kiwi on top is a perfect example of a summer-ready no-bake fridge cake ;)
There are so many different cheesecake recipes out there. OMG. Basically, each country has its own version of this classic bake. And of course, only the one your mom made, is the best one! ;) You can make them with or without a base/crust, bake them or only cool them in the fridge, use cream cheese or any other variation of cheese etc. pp. One American city, in particular, has a very famous cheesecake version – the NY cheesecake! So today’s cheesecake is based on that one with a little something extra: Baileys ;)
Cheesecake and vegan baking is something that is not a 100% match I’d say. Not even close :P There are many raw and vegan cheesecake recipes out there that use certain plant-based drinks and/or powders, but the result is hardly comparable to a real classic (German style) cheesecake. No Ma’am! One good reason not to go vegan… up until now! Not saying I am changing to a vegan diet, but now I could. Because of this delicious Classic Vegan Cheesecake! Oh yesss! ;)
I guess you all know NY Cheesecake already. These rich and delicious but mostly pale cheesecakes every coffee shop around the world offers nowadays ;) Why are they all so pale and why is this one here still an NY Style Cheesecake even though it looks different? Important questions of life…! :P
Are there any fans of licorice out there like me? I guess there are some… It took me a while to really like the licorice flavor in sweets – I guess you know it’s not the “easiest” flavor there is – but once you’re on the hook… ;P Same for this delicious Licorice Marble Cheesecake – once you have a piece, you want more!
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 ;)
