When I saw this recipe for a no-bake cheesecake in the October issue of
Martha Stewart, I immediately went to the store to purchase the necessary ingredients. The technique is simple and this stunning dessert comes together quite quickly. There's no eggs involved, so if you dislike custardy cheesecake, definitely give this variation a try.
In the height of good weather, food and festivity abound, and right about now, I'm wishing I could teleport myself around the United States. First I'd hit up Manhattan for
Wine 2.0's wine sampling this week, followed by the
Shrimp & Grits Festival in Georgia, and then some classic
Eli's cheesecake in the Windy City. Don't miss out on these events — if you do, you'll have to wait another year!
Since the
fashion week party I'm throwing takes culinary inspiration from the Big Apple, I'm sticking with the theme and making a New York-inspired cheesecake for dessert.
To encourage that guests mingle, I'm going for a
menu of mostly single-serving offerings. Dessert will be no exception: These mini-cheesecake snacks pack rich, chocolatey indulgence into pretty, bite-sized packages.
Did you know that today is
National Cheesecake Day? No doubt this decadent dessert, a well-loved American favorite, deserves to be honored. But what do you know about this creamy cake, aside from the best slices to order at
The Cheesecake Factory?
To commemorate their 30th anniversary, the
Cheesecake Factory will be lowering the price of cheesecake. When the first Factory opened in Beverly Hills in 1978, a piece of cheesecake was only $1.50. Tomorrow, (which also happens to be
National Cheesecake Day) the restaurant chain will offer cheesecake at its original ($1.50) price!
Let's face it: some days, it's too hot to even consider turning the oven on. However, the heat shouldn't hold you back from making delicious desserts. Here are seven sans-oven options (even cookies and tarts!) that you can turn to when the heat is on.
Every year on the
Fourth of July, I like to make a red, white, and blue dessert. It's my personal salute to America. While a
flag cake is festive, this year I'll wow guests with a red, white, and blueberry cheesecake tart.
Those
Daring Bakers have done it again, and this time it's with delicious-looking
Cheesecake Pops. This is just one person's interpretation, be sure to hunt them all down. They look unbelievable!
