(L- R: Gorgeous Shockolate cake by Nicole D. and Kirsten T.)
I have to be honest; I wasn’t thrilled about making Feb’s CCC: Shockcolate Cheesecake – no offense Podleski sisters.
For one I don’t really have a sweet tooth (salt is my thing), two, I not crazy about chocolate (call me crazy) and three, the recipe called for a commercial brownie mix (yes, I confess I can be a bit of a food snob).
But in the words of Laura V., Holy Chocolate Batman!! I LOVED this recipe! I loved it so much I made two cakes in one week – hello, fat pants with elastic band.
This recipe is super easy and it’s not too cloyingly sweet, you know how commercial cheesecakes taste sometimes?
(L- R: Katherine S.'s cake with gold luster dust! and Sara N.'s group-effort cake.)
The sour cream provides a nice balance to the sweet as well as cut down some of the richness. And did I mention that it’s low-fat! Well, as low fat as a cheesecake can be. I know, like AvaDJ I got a few laughs from my friends.
Like Nicole D. and Jamie D. this one’s definitely a keeper. Everyone who participated this month enjoyed it too. Check out the gallery and their comments below. Sara N. will be receiving a book for making this recipe and Feb. CCC part of her Valentine's Day tradition.
