I wish I could take credit for this delicious looking thing – but it was actually done by my amazing sister. She’s ridiculously gifted in the baking department and this latest goodie of hers was no exception!
She bakes for her co-workers all the time (this one was for a 21st birthday!) so I decided it might be fun to start showcasing some of her stuff under an “Indulgence” section on the blog. I’m all about satisfying your indulgent cravings when they strike and I absolutely LOVE to do so when my sister’s stuff!
The stuff she makes is not only delicious but it looks beautiful as well so I can’t help but want to photograph it and share it!
Recipe for the cheesecake came from The Kitchn’s How to Make the Perfect Cheesecake post
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- OPTIONAL: 1-2 teaspoons of peppermint extract (if you want to do a peppermint hot cocoa cheesecake!)
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 - 1 cup mini marshmallows (enough to just cover the top of the cheesecake)
Instructions
- Heat heavy cream and chocolate over a double boiler. Whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth. Add peppermint extract here if choosing to do so. Let sit for 5 minutes, then pour over cheesecake
- Top with 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- Refrigerate until firm
- Remove cheesecake from refrigerator.
- Top cheesecake with mini marshmallows. Put under the broiler for about 30 seconds or until marshmallows are browned. Keep an eye on them the whole time so they don't burn!
