No more buying,time for making!

Hey guys! I know its been sometime but its been a little busy on both Nommie and My side. But let me bring you guys up to speed. My birthday was July 30th. I am now 20! I feel so old :) but its cool. Anyway i decided to bake a cheesecake since I was going to celebrate a few peoples birthday's. So check it! Lets begin. I started out crushing the cookies,but that didnt work too well for me as you can see from the picture.The pieces are still too big for a crust. so I put them in a blender :) came out fine.

Well This picture is the crust done baking and out cooling. The recipe I had scribbled down was totally wrong with the amount of butter I needed to combine the cookie crumbs. I went along adding and seeing what I needed to change.



I totally forgot to mention i was making a marble cheesecake! So thats why there two bowls with the same stuff in it. (sorry i didn't take pictures as i was going in between steps. I wanted to make sure no air was getting in the batter for sitting too long)

This was the chocolate part of the cheesecake :)oops my phones there haha.



Well this is what it looks like after i put all the design and what not before the oven.

Needs a water bath! yup thats what this is here.





Well this is the finished product. After it being refrigerated over night. It was very yummy. One girl that ate it even said it was as good as bakery bough cheesecake. So if you want to save money on cheesecakes,this one is very good . You will not go wrong making this one.:D

~Recipe~
Marble cheesecake

Ingredients
*3 pkgs Cream cheese,softened at room temp.
*1 cup of sugar (divided in 4ths)
*1/2 cup sour cream
*2 tbs vanilla
*3 tbs flour
*3 eggs
*3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
*splash of milk

****Crust****
*I tube of Cats cookies (got from trader Joes but you can use oreos if you want)
*12 Tbs unsalted butter,melted
1/4 cup conf. sugar.

Directions-
1) Blend about 2 cups of cookies 1st and add to if not enough depending on what size formspring pan you have. Spray sides with pam or some sort of butter non stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 10 mins. Than take out of oven and set aside to cool.

2)Beat cream cheese till smooth. Add 1/4 cup of sugar at a time mixing for 30 seconds before adding the next amount of sugar. Than add sour cream and vanilla . Mix. Stir in flour. Than add eggs in one at a time, again mixing for 30 seconds before adding the next 1.

3)reserve about 2 cups of batter and set aside. In a small sauce pan melt the chocolate and add a splash of milk to get it sort of runny. Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla too. Take off fire and let cool for 5 minutes. Add too the reserved batter and add 1/2 tsp of cocoa powder.

4)Now take the pan with the crust and pour the batter alternating from vanilla to chocolate batter. Than to make design take a tooth pick and be creative. Place pan in a bigger pan to make a water bath. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Than turn oven off and leave cheesecake in for 30 minutes. Take out and let cool till room temp and refrigerate over night. When you take the cake out it will still look undone but it will firm up in the refrigerator.

*******NOTE********
Don' take off the outter ring from the springform pan until you are ready to serve. so that means when you put it in your refrigerator leave it on.
Hope you enjoy if you decide to make this. =]
