Black and White Chocolate Cheesecake Supreme Recipe. I decided to buck tradition this year and I made a cheesecake for Thanksgiving instead of apple or pumpkin pie. Brandon and I both LOVE cheesecake and he insists that it’s more pie than cake, so in his mind I still made the traditional pie.

I used my previous cheesecake recipe, (which IMHO is the best) but modified it by adding melted white and dark chocolate, a method I’ve seen in a bunch of other recipes. If you remember from my previous sojourn into cheesecake baking I had some issues getting it right (it looked undercooked, though it really wasn’t). I baked it a bit differently this time and found this is definitely the right way to do it. Plus I think this new method makes it much more like a real New York cheesecake (or so I’ve heard) because it browns the top and sides slightly. While this method made the top kind of flaky looking (nothing you notice when you are eating it), the cake itself didn’t crack. I thought all the chocolate would make it too rich, but it really didn’t.

Smitty & The Shortcake (Ep. 2) | Some Kitchen Stories Smitty & The Shortcake (Ep. 2) | What happens when a writer and a photographer get together to make delicious food. Last episode of “Smitty & The Girl” Elvira tried not to stare. “Hunh.” The redhead was related to Sylvia?

“Mathers, you said your last name was?” Letta was walking by, and eavesdropping, and Elvira all but heard her whip her giant, nosy head around at the name. The girl gave her that tough look again, that defiant look, but it was ruined when she sneezed. And when she grabbed the nearest napkin, making a jingled mess of the silverware so that half of it tumbled to the floor, Elvira sighed. “I don’t have any money.” “Yeah, of course you don’t.” “Hey, beautiful sexy times!” Elvira ignored Carlos and elbowed past Manny who took up far too much space in the narrow kitchen.

She got Sylvia’s voicemail, which was typical for an early morning. When she stepped out again, Letta was sitting across from the girl, what was her name? She heard Letta grunt and pull her large form out of the booth and as soon as they were out of earshot, Elvira pinched her on the elbow. “I don’t know and I don’t care.” Easter Kit Kat Cake.

One of Matt’s favourite desserts of all time is cherry cheesecake and I thought to myself why not Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes, that should satisfy his craving.
