How to Make Your Chocolate Fantasies Come True

Do you dream of making a chocolate dessert that is BETTER than restaurant-quality? Maybe a CHEESECAKE? What if I told you that YOU could easily make a chocolate cheesecake dessert that would make your guests swoon, and that would live on, in legend, long after the evening you made it for?

What if that cheesecake had a crust made of chocolate cookie wafers? And on top of that, a beautiful chocolate cheesecake layer? But wait: there’s more. On top of that, almost a butterscotch/pecan cheesecake layer? Not done yet. On top of that, a vanilla sour cream cheesecake layer? And as the coup de grâce, to top it all, a knee-weakening chocolate ganache, whose creaminess would melt on your tongue, like a lover’s kiss?

What Happened When I Made This for Girlfriends

My beautiful and talented friend Diane, she of the Fabulous Friday Friends, is full of love, the gift of hospitality, and brilliant ideas. One of her latest ideas was to host a chick-flick party, at which she would show the movie “Chocolat”, and to which we could bring any yummy snacks we might enjoy. Diane told us she was planning to make us homemade truffles. They were spectacular!!! Several others of us decided to do a small variation on the chocolate theme, and bring chocolate treasures of our own.

I promised the girls that I would post the recipe that I made on my blog. I wish I could tell you that it is my own recipe, but actually, it is not. It came from my Southern Living cookbook. I have been making it for years, though, because it seems to have the effect of causing people to swoon, cheesecake and chocolate lovers alike. 

 When I Made It For Our Wine Bottling Party

And now, here it is, 5 years later. We now know how to take better photographs, so I recently made it for my friend Denny’s 60th birthday party. Once again: the reaction was the same. Guests went back for seconds, and licked their forks. It went beautifully with our party for Denny, where we transferred the Sangiovese wine we made from the carboy, into bottles: our red wine bottling party.

My hope, is that instead of you feeling sorry for yourself because you weren’t there at either of our WONDERFUL parties, that you will purpose in your heart to have a little party and a lot of fun of your own.

I hope that YOU will invite some friends (or even better, some POTENTIAL friends) over, and have the time of your life, while you enjoy good food and good company. It is such a great thing to spread the love around! As the old song that I learned as a girl goes, “Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more”.

So here, without further ado, and just in time for your very next special occasion, here is:

If Chocolate Cheesecake isn’t your thing, despair not. I have a beautiful Blueberry Cheesecake  made with homemade shortbread cookies, for which I am also renowned, she said, modestly. (HA!) But it ain’t braggin’ if it’s the truth.
