It's been way to long, I apologize. However, I do come bearing one of my finest creations, chocolate strawberry cheesecake (oooohhhh ahhhhhhh oooooooooh). Minus my prior culinary experience preparing buffalo stew, lemon chicken and walleye in the Black Hills (another story for another time) I enjoy cooking... well mainly eating... cheesecake more then anything else. I took a pretty basic, and easy, strawberry cheesecake recipe and added some chocolate to it. The main recipe can be found
here. This recipe is great because it is very simple and produces a great result. To "chocolatetize" it I use chocolate graham crackers for the crust and put a layer of chocolate chips on top of the crust before pouring the cheesecake in. Aside from that it's business (or recipe) as usual. Everytime I make this I end up using more of the strawberry sauce then they tell you to add and have yet to over do it. I did face one minor challenge this time around in the lack of sweetened condensed milk. Initially I thought I could just put some sugar in whole milk and I'm good to go, this makes sense right? Apparently not. I found a very good substitute
here though. Taste wise this was indistinguishable from the real deal, however with all that brown sugar it tinted the cake brown a bit, as you can see. And here you have it:

Next up.... caramel apple cheesecake.
