Cannoli Cheesecake

 


Photo source:  Taste of Home

"Ah, cannoli cheesecake. It’s a no-bake dessert for those days when you can’t be bothered to put a lot of work into baking. Yet it yields such rich results, you’d never know it took less than 30 minutes to prep.

This refreshing dessert fuses the cannoli, beloved among Italian baking recipes, with the ever-popular classic cheesecake. Whether you want a teensy taste of cannoli or a giant taste, the choice is yours with this 9-inch beauty. Cut as big of a slice as you want, then save the rest for tomorrow’s dessert—if you can wait that long."  Comment from Taste of Home

One of my favorite things in the world is a cannoli.  If a recipe has anything to do with a cannoli, I am posting it because I could never have enough cannoli recipes.  Especially cheesecake . . . another favorite.

Pecan Cheesecake Pie

 


Photo source:  Southern Living

"This pecan cheesecake pie looks like a classic pecan pie at first glance, but cut in, and you'll find a layer of cheesecake that magically rests between a traditional, gooey pecan pie filling and crunchy pecan topping. Pecan pie may be "the South's most popular pie," but this version balances the rich sweetness of the original with its tangy cheesecake filling, and brings it all together with a buttery, flaky crust for an irresistible end to any meal. With only 15 minutes of prep time, you'll be making this pie all season long."  Comment from Southern Living

Pecan cheesecake pie looks beyond delicious.  This pie is genius.  I have no words!

Churro Cheesecake

 

Photo source: The Recipe Critic


Another recipe to add to my cheesecake collection!

I think in another life I owned a bakery that specializes in cheesecake.  They are my favorite!  There was a time when everyone got a gift of some type of cheesecake for special occasions.  Cheesecake type of desserts are what I always bring to a party.

I can't wait to try this recipe to see if it really tastes like a churro, which is another one of my favorite dessert snacks.  They look more like cheesecake bars than cheesecake, but that won't stop me from making it!  Actually, I prefer cheesecake bars to take to a party.

Delicious Lemon Cheesecake Pie


If you love cheesecake and lemons, you will love this pie!

For The Captain and I, it is a keeper.  The filling was slightly tart, slightly sweet with a creamy texture and so delicious.  Topping with whipped cream before serving is like icing on a cake.  I would not have it any other way!

The recipe is adapted from the website Real Simple . . . the photo is from Real Simple.  It shows a pre-made crust, but I wanted a graham cracker crust to make it more like a cheesecake.  Great choice!



Ingredients:

    • Graham Cracker Crust
    • 2-8 oz bars cream cheese (softened)
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • whipped cream



Directions:

Combine all ingredients until smooth and pour into crust.

Bake at 325 degrees 40 to 50 minutes (filling will be set, but a bit wobbly).

Before serving, top with a layer of whipped cream.

Dark Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake



There is something about ending a meal with a cheesecake that makes it special.  My specialty is baking and cheesecakes are my favorite dessert to make . . . I think I missed my calling to be a pastry chef!  Needless to say, I have made my share of a variety of cheesecakes.  

My favorite source for my cheesecake recipes is my old Philadelphia Cream Cheese cookbook that I have had since I was a very young adult.  Although I still refer to that old cookbook, one of my favorite food websites is Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

This cheesecake is one of the most beautiful cheesecakes I have seen . . . I will be making this on the next special occasion that comes up!



Ingredients

1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
4 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping (Do not thaw.)
6 oz. BAKER'S Bittersweet Chocolate
1 cup fresh raspberries



Directions

Heat oven to 325°F.


Mix graham crumbs, 3 Tbsp. sugar and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan.

Beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and vanilla with mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust.

Bake 55 min. or until center is almost set. Run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim. Refrigerate cheesecake 4 hours.

Microwave COOL WHIP and chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 to 2-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after each minute. 

Cool 15 min.; slowly pour over cheesecake. Garnish with raspberries.
