When Posie mentioned her 'Limp Bits' Challenge I thought it would be a great idea to join in. If nothing else it would give me something else to blog about other than my Handstitch Quilt that everyone must be sick of seeing already!
I decided to make a cheesecake. I have never made one before which is surprising because I really LOVE cheesecake. A lot. And in honour of the fact that this is an Olympic inspired challenge I thought I would make a Mars Bar Cheesecake using THIS recipe. Why start with a 'regular' cheesecake?!
Mine does not look like the photo in the recipe. Somehow I also managed to dirty every saucepan and jug in the house too. I also used both the Kenwood Mix-Master and Food Processor. I am STILL cleaning up! I also think that the choc and caramel sauce was overkill. Next time (if there is a next time) I will put the Mars Bars in but leave out the sauces.
It does taste ok, so all was not lost. The Mr likes it more than I do. I think I will try a regular cheesecake next time; if I ever get the kitchen clean after this one!

Next week's challenge is craft; I am training hard already with an idea brewing :)
Oh yay, it looks delicious!! I really like cheese cake too & have only baked a couple in my lifetime. They are scrummy & something you can eat in small portions & make it last days!! Congratulations, so thrilled you joined in & made something new to your skill set. Shame about all the washing up, hilarious, such a bummer though!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you put forward for the craft, i'm still a bit at sea with crochet, desperate to nail it. Love Posie
This looks so so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteIt does look indulgent. Well done for trying something different.
ReplyDeleteWe love cheese cake here. Could I recommend a black forest for your next one:)
