Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake…..for ME!
22 Aug
Today we have a guest baker…drum roll…..its Curtis (aka: daddy). In honor of my birthday, Silas said that he wanted to make me my birthday cake (and then volunteered Curtis to help him). Together they made me a chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Y-U-M. I did help a little, but mostly the boys of the house baked this themselves. It tasted just as good as it looks.
My Kids Make a chocolate raspberry cheesecake, and yours can too! See the pics to see how it turned out!
~Update:
RECIPE adapted from here.
- First off, we used low fat cream cheese. Lets just get that out of the way.
- Instead of vanilla extract, we used raspberry extract (in both the cheesecake and the chocolate topping).
- For the chocolate topping,we used 1/4c whipping cream, 3/4c chocolate chips and raspberry extract
- We put the chocolate topping on about 30mins before we were going to eat it, covered it with raspberries, and then put it back in the fridge.
- 30mins later, we ate!
Welcome to My Kids Make. I'm Becky, mom to 2 cuties, Sydney and Silas.
That looks really good. You need to include a recipe when you show us yummy goodness like that!!!!
Seriously! That looks INCREDIBLE! And Happy Birthday!
Updated the post with a link to the original recipe, as well as the changes we made to make it Chocolate Raspberry. I really couldn’t find a recipe for chocolate raspberry cheesecake, so I just adapted this one.
Thanks for reminding me to put up the link!
Happy Birthday. I love you so much.
Your cake looks fantastic. Oh please post the recipe. I want to make one….. or better yet ~ Silas and and I can make another one (LOL) when we come to see you.
That cake looks so much better than the one we got from the woman in Center Sandwich.
that lady in center sandwich is what i based this cheesecake idea on. i told curtis about her and how she made the richest, most wonderful cheesecakes with ganache. i remember those cakes like it was last year. my goodness.
Curtis and Silas, you did a fantastic job on the cake.
Wow !!!
And I just saw the recipe, thanks.
There are few desserts that taste better than a really good cheesecake. Yours looks fantastic. And it is always a good thing to let other mothers know that “My Husband Cooks and So Can Yours!!!” As Margot says, “Food always tastes better when someone else has cooked it.”
Oh yummy!! It’s official, you guys are now the cheesecake bakers of the family! Everyone will be so glad, especially Nicole (and Poppi too). Great job boys, I’m sure you made Mommy SO happy with all that chocolaty goodness in her tummy.
Yes, it was wonderfully good. I ate a big slice while watching Anne of Avonlea.
Cheesecake and Anne of Avonlea!!! Now that is a Birthday Celebration for Momma.
