Chocolate Cheesecake with a Oreo Cookie Crust

Posted on October 1, 2018

Hello there!!  How was everyones weekend?   I have been checking out the new Food Trends for this Fall,  and  there were so many that I was so overwhelmed that I stopped reading and went to the kitchen and made this Chocolate creamy, luchious, delight that just melts at each bite. 🙂   

As I was writing up this post it was raining outside and when it finally stopped there was this beautiful rainbow.  I wanted to upload the picture I took of the rainbow because the colors were just so bright and amazing.   Unfortunately my phone is very old and kind of crashed on me again, so I uploaded this picture instead.  I just wanted to share this lovely photo with you so that you could smile, if your day has or has not started off well. This is Ionian side of Greece with the beautiful blue sea colors and skies, this is Parga, Greece, 🙂  My best friend lives close by to this beautiful area….:)  



Day dreaming again I should get back to the recipe….:)

When it was finally ready (this is a no-bake cake by the way, so it was in the fridge for a couple of hours) 🙂 I tried to cut a normal piece but it was so creamy that the piece came out a bit crooked.  Is anyone interested in a slice of Chocolate Cheesecake…can I see a show of hands please. hehehe Yessss,!!   I usually make this a thin cheesecake so I use a large Tart pan but if you prefer going  thicker pieces then go for the 9 inch pan instead. 🙂

3/4 cup Butter

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
