CHEESECAKE

I love/hate cheesecake. I love every cheesecake I've had that was made by my mom or myself, and hate every single other cheesecake. Yes this includes you, Cheesecake Factory! Too dense, sweet, fatty, or just generally gross...

But after that veggie stew my body was like, uhm, no, make something deliciously bad for you please. So of to make cheesecake! Recipe was pretty bogus...I bought cream cheese and a pre-made crust that was too big (or I needed two cream cheese packets), but scrounged enough stuff together from the fridge for success, namely whipping cream to add fluff. Generally followed this recipe, but after it was cooked it was looking sad:

And you can see there was like a whole inch of exposed crust! So what to do? Googled around some chocolate confections and found this great recipe for a homemade chocolate "custard" which turned out to be more of an amazing ganache =)

Ended up looking gorgeous (if I do say so myself), and I'm psyched to dig into this tomorrow night!
