It’s been my favorite dessert ever since I can remember. I make myself cheesecakes as my birthday cake each year. For awhile I was [...]

Today is the big day. Today I turn the big 3-0. I don’t look a day over 29, do I? I certainly don’t feel thirty. Not that I’m sure what exactly it should feel like. But I do know that today 30 will feel like getting pampered at the spa with a manicure/pedicure and a [...]

It is said that necessity is the mother of invention, and that’s exactly how these brownies were born. I NEEDED dessert. What I didn’t want was to go to the grocery store. And so I started rummaging through my baking supplies to see what I could play with. I remembered that I still had Oreos [...]

I had never made homemade ice cream before, but the idea of being able to create any flavor combination imaginable seemed completely irresistible.

Behold, a gorgeous four-part cheesecake in all of its glory: Oreo crumb crust. Creamy cheesecake. Fudgy brownies. Chocolate ganache glaze. WOW.

It is seriously beyond me how I have never made these before. Especially considering they’re a hybrid of my two favorite sweets – chocolate and cheesecake, and honestly there’s really no way anything made of chocolate and cheesecake can be anything but spectacular.
