Can you tell I love cheesecake yet? Yes, it’s one of my favorite desserts. I love it for the taste and its versatility for being something that can easily go from simple to decadent.
Right now, I’m stuck on a run of no-bake cheesecakes. This one came popping into my head late at night while I was running through my Christmas cookie list. Yep, I’m already planning and mapping out Christmas baked goods, crafts and presents.
Simple in design all you need for this recipe is some butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, a handful of Whoppers and some gelatin. Don’t let that last mentioned ingredient scare you. Gelatin is very easy to work with. » Read the rest of this entry «

What kid doesn’t love Oreos, right? But not every kid likes cheesecake. Please tell me I am not the only one that acquired a taste for cheesecake through the years.
In fact, I think my first bite of cheesecake was at a Cheesecake Factory when I was in high school. But maybe that had more to do with my parents being very strict, old world Asians. They convinced my siblings and me that American restaurants were for Americans, along with other weird ideas like makeup was to be worn when I was 30-something and boyfriends were had after college graduation. And by that I mean after I became a doctor.
Yeah, so much for parental influence. I’ve entered Willy Wonka’s world and I never want to leave.

SoNo’s No-Bake Cheesecake ~ A no bake version that easily parallels its oven counterpart in texture. Throw in the fact that this is a John Baracelli recipe and with his talent for subtle flavoring and his use of gelatin to help set this cheesecake, you may never want to see a waterbath for cheesecake again.

I’m on a guest post run, my second in two weeks and I love it. This one is for Kid Diva. I met her on Twitter and we quickly surmised that we must have been sisters separated at birth. Although I’m still wondering how she got all the rad genes and I ended up a nerd in Southern California.
Her blog The Sugar Bar is one of my favorites. Want to see some of England’s best neighborhood restaurants-check it. The pictures of the dishes will have your mouth watering so wipe it up and get ready for the other part of her blog where she features her own deliciously creative recipes that will have you inspired and running for your kitchen.
Aside from her rock’n blogging skills, you’ll see she is very well loved on Twitter-deservingly so. Gone for a day and we Tweepers are missing our sunshine. For those not in the know, follow her on Twitter at @sugarbardiva and get skinned with some coolness.
In sticking with the theme of her life right now as a busy student, I chose a no-bake recipe that if Kid Diva can find time to make so can you.
Hit the jump for her blog and for the recipe. http://www.sugarbar.org/
