Happy Easter!

I've just completed my first {successful} cheesecake and I couldn't have chosen a better flavour!

Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake..... "YUMMMMM" ( said in a high singy voice)

Here's mine.....


The recipe is from All Recipes which is my very most favourite food site!  I hve been using this for years and assumed more people knew about this site, but I wanted to share just in case some people hadn't used it yet....great resource!  At the top of the page there's a box, and you search based on a search term like "beef and barley soup", or underneath that you will see "ingredient" and you can search based on ingredients that you want to include.  Then when the results of your search come up, you can sort it by relevance, rating, etc...I like rating 'cause then I get the very best of the best!

Anyways, back to the cheesecake...I made this and it really takes quite a while....  Read the reviews for tips on how to refrigerate the layers before adding the next layer, and on baking instuctions to avoid those nasty cracks!  I scaled this recipe (another neat little function that the website offers) for 50% more and this made a nice thick 9.5" cheesecake.  My 12 dinner guests ate this Friday and then some again on Saturday then we had a couple of pieces on Sunday...then another 4 pieces were served last night....and there's still more!!!!  I cut it in about a 1" - 1.5" sections cause it's crazy rich and oh soooooo delish!

 ...and you can find the recipe here.

Cheers!
