Shortbread Cookies

Happy Sunday y'all!

It's that time of the year again. Yes CHRISTMAS! ❄

I know its a while since the last post and all but I have this thing going in at work that kinda takes up all my time. Anyway here's a fail proof shortbread recipe for the coming holidays.

What you need:

1 cup butter at room temperature

60 gms/half a cup of sugar

A tspn vanilla extract

250 gm/approx 2 cups plain flour

Beat the butter till smooth. Add in the sugar, vanilla and flour to form a dough. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Once its set, remove from fridge and leave it out for about 10 mins to get to room temperature. Flatten out to 1/4". Bake for 8-10 mins.

 

Happy baking!

No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

So my oven hasn't been working for the last couple of days. Yeah that happened. My worst nightmare. For real. I was so upset that I needed CAKE to unupset me. Looked up for a no bake cake(yeah 'no bake', I was so upset that I didn't even realise that that made no sense.) and came across this amazing no bake chocolate cheesecake recipe.

Here goes, for the base/crust all you need is crushed digestive biscuits and a little melted butter to hold it together. 150g biscuits to 50g melted butter. Press into any tin or springform pan that you have at home. Using the bottom of a glass is perfect to get the base evenly spread. Refrigerate.

For the actual cheesecake, you'll need:

100g sugar

120ml double cream 

150g melted dark chocolate(cooled)

2tbspn cocoa powder

200g soft cheese

Whip the double cream into soft peaks. Fold in the cooled melted chocolate and the cocoa powder. Beat the soft cheese and sugar together. Fold in the creamy chocolatey mixture until fully incorporated. Spread this heavenly mixture onto the base and refrigerate for atleast an hour to set and let all the flavours mix well(This probably was the most difficult part for me).

Once done, slice and dig in.

I'm hoping your reaction will be just as Chandler's.

Happy cooking!
