White Chocolate Rasberry Cheesecake
Recipe Reviews 5 reviews
Blackberry Peach Pie
I really enjoyed this recipe. I visited a local orchard and picked fresh blackberries for the recipe. The greatest part is that blackberries and peaches are in season at the same time therefor you can have a truly fresh homemade pie. My only only complaint was the seeds. Blackberries are very seedy and you will get a lot of them stuck in your teeth. The taste was great. I think I may try the recipe with blueberries and see if it is equally good/w out the seeds. Also a side note: This was my first pie with a homemade crust (French Pastry Pie Crust from this site) and I would highly, highly recommend it. Not only is it rewarding making a pie entirely from scratch, but majorly delicious. Its easier than it seems and there are lots of helpful suggestions from reviews to help!

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
Fantastic recipe. This was my first attempt at cheesecake as I was given my first set of springform pans for my birthday. It was a big hit. My only suggestions follow along the lines of what others have suggested. You can get by with a cup of crumbs on the bottom (expect them to be VERY thin with a few uncovered spots), but I would suggest a cup and a half - two cups instead. For anyone else attemtping a cheesecake for the first time I would really recommend the tips section and reading others reviews for helpful advise. I covered the bottom of my pan in foil and sat pan into another pan with about an inch of water. I turned off the oven after an hour and left to sit in the oven for another hour. It turned out flawless.

So yummy! I will make this regularly. I followed the alterations other reviews made and put 2cups vege broth to 1cup quinoa and used olive oil (slightly less then suggested) and it turned out amazing. I added a tiny bit of cheese and my 2year old daughter ate it up. It made a lot so I was able to freeze half for later. I really enjoyed it as stuffing for home made burritos with some beans and a little cheese and sour cream. YUM!
