My parents had been ranting and raving about the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake I had made last Christmas so they wanted me to make it again this year. Its really simple just cream cheese, cream, mascarpone and white chocolate its fairly healthy since there is no sugar just in the mascarpone and white chocolate. First you make a cookie crumb crust using digestive cookies and butter then you let that sit in the fridge to cool, then you beat the cream cheese and cream and mascarpone together. Meanwhile melting the white chocolate using a Bain Marie and then folding it into the cream cheese mixture. After you layer the crust with a handful of raspberries then pour a third of the mixture onto to the raspberry and crust and repeat twice. After you let sit in the fridge/freezer to cool. Its one of my families favourite cheesecake and its very simple to make!

Smore's Cake

The week I was in the tournant station I was able to make a peanut butter smores cake, which I have never made before. It took me three or four days to make this cake because there were so many components to it. Most of the ingredients that the recipe called for I had to also make as well. For example the recipe called for simple vanilla syrup. It also called for a chocolate and peanut butter gianduja, a graham cracker crust, a flourless sponge, a milk chocolate bavarian cream, a milk chocolate mirror glaze, and chocolate cigars. So since we didn’t already have those things made I had to go and make all those things first. Then after that was all done and I had all those things made I then could go and follow the instructions on how to put the cake together. I’ve never made a cake before that had taken that long to make and had so many components. But in the end it was worth it because it tasted really good.  JR
