Creamy Cheesecake

Written by Published on Updated on May 24, 2019 in Uncategorized

I remember when we were still living in the states both my mom and I loved going into NYC, to spend the day shopping at Macy’s, Bloomingdales, etc :). During the day we would stop over at this coffee shop named Chock full o’ Nuts to enjoy a great cup of coffee.  🙂  They had these big booths that you could sit in and relax for a while.  I always loved having dessert my absolute favorite was their Cheesecake. They had the Cheesecake on the counter in a large glass cake stand, yum yum!! I’m not even sure if they made the cheesecake or they just ordered it from some other bakery…:)  (I was 14 at the time I was interested in going shopping not finding out if they baked the cake or not hahhaha).  Ohhhh my to be honest it was delicious!!! each bite was wonderful that creamy texture uhhhh, I always looked forward to going into the city this was a 3 times a month to shopping spree with mom and indulge that great piece of Cheesecake.

Now, I know Cheesecakes are suppose to be eaten during Summer, but I like doing things a bit differently, enjoying food all year round.  🙂  This recipe needs no baking so in about 3 to 4 hours depending on your refrigerator it’s ready to eat!  🙂

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

    Cheesecake is for summer, who made up that ridiculous rule? Cheesecake is for whenever you can make it, or get your hands on it 😉

    One question and one general comment – First – what are digestive cookies? Is that a European thing or a people who know how to cook well thing? Second – cheesecake is an all year any time day or night food. I firmly believe that it should be a major food group on the required daily intake list. 😉

    You’ve posted yet another fabulous looking treat girl. I’ve definitely added this to my recipes list! ❤️
