Let Them Eat Cheese Cake

One week countdown to Shavuot - holiday begins the evening of May 18th. Proper nourishment is important before AND after a night of learning.

We've been testing multiple cheese cake recipes and our cheese bill is through the roof - but it's so nice to have a reason to HAVE to use dairy as opposed to trying to come up with delicious pareve desserts!

A couple of tips we'd like to share - to avoid dry, cracked and lumpy cheese cakes!
1) You need to let the cream cheese soften and then use a lot of patience to incorporate all the ingredients into the cream cheese
2) After you have removed your delicious creation from the oven, while it's cooling, run a paring knife around the rim of the cake by the pan every so often to loosen the cake. That way it won't crack as it cools

Our favorite this year? A marble cheesecake with bitter chocolate - such an elegant presentation with those swirls (and so fun to make!)
