So it turns out I “ruined” it by adding chocolate ganache. But it is so pretty!

So I liked the FLAVOR of the brownie bottom chocolate chip cookie dough, but hated the glop on top of the cheese cake. So do, like The Cheese Cake Factory and bake chocolate chip cookie dough balls INTO the batter. At the bottom is the recipe we like the most.

Year of the cheesecake: Buddy Valastro’s Italian Ricotta cheesecake. It leaked OUT of the pan-a lot. I think I need to drain the ricotta. Also, I learned that if you have the smallest amount of egg yolk in your whites stiff peaks won’t form. It is true, they weren’t making that up.
Also, I discovered I don’t like Italian cheesecakes. I like cream cheese cheesecakes. But I looked pretty.
Year of the cheesecake number three: New York cheesecake II from Allrecipes.com. This is a solid plain cheesecake. Dink ate 3 pieces already. I am now up to 32 recipes picked out if you count the five Italian cheesecake recipes I found today. I have also solved the leaking pan problem thanks to America’s test kitchen!

Year of the cheesecake: Chantal’s New York cheesecake. Just trying to get the basics before I go crazy. I am still trying to keep the spring form pan from leaking. Either I didn’t wrap the foil right or steam condensed in the foil to cause the crust to be soggy. America’s test kitchen recommends to use a slightly larger pan to protect your spring form pan in the water bath. I am sourcing those pans to try that next. Also, cheesecakes don’t rise when you bake them. I didn’t know that.
