Baileys Toblerone Cheesecake Recipe - YUM!

Ugh - cheesecake. My love.

Now, as you may have seen from my last post - I'm on a weight loss journey but that doesn't stop me enjoying the food that I love. That includes cheesecake.

Luckily for me, I've already lost 53lbs (and counting) and with the plan I'm on, I can eat cheesecake and not feel bad about it.

I make a Baileys Toblerone cheesecake, which is the recipe I'm about to give to you.

It is divine.

Anyways, here is the recipe for my Baileys Toblerone cheesecake. It usually makes about 8 slices but I've sold them in bitesize portions at my café and they went down a treat!

Perfect with a cup of coffee after lunch.

**Recipe**

200g Digestive Biscuits (I'm sorry, Rich Tea just wont do!)
100g Butter
300g Cream Cheese (Philadelphia works best)
200g Whipping Cream

200g Toblerone

3-4 shots of Baileys

(When I say shots, I literally mean a shot glass of Baileys, popped into the mix!)


**Directions**

Crush digestives and melt butter in a pan, once melted, add biscuits and mix together

.Place mixture in an 8" spring form tin, flatten until even and firm

Empty cheese into a large bowl and beat until smooth.

Lightly whisk cream until almost stiff then add to the cheese

When you've finished mixing cream and cheese, add your shots of Baileys (taste to test)

(There are two options for the toblerone - I use the following method)
Break up toblerone into small pieces, add to mixture and mix well

(Second option - not one I've used)
Melt toblerone in a pan, once melted, add to cheese/cream mixture and mix well.

Pour the mixture onto the base, smooth out.

Bang cake tin onto a hard surface gently to ensure mixture settles.

Pop into the fridge for 2 -3 hours (preferably overnight)

Add some chocolate on top to decorate

Enjoy!

Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes (recipe)

These absolutely adorable Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a creation that my main chick & I came up with, on pancake Thursday. Yes, I said Thursday.

Now, we all know that it's pancake Tuesday but unfortunately for my main chick & I, we were both working on pancake Tuesday and didn't get a chance to make them until two days later.

This, my darlings, was the result. Beautifully crafted banana chocolate chip pancakes, which were an absolute delight to devour.

I can tell you now, I didn't leave so much as a crumb on the plate. They were awesome.

So, I feel like I should share this delightful recipe with you.


**RECIPE**

This recipe makes 4 large pancakes
adjust your supplies according the how many pancakes you wish to devour (and share..of course!)

1 1/2 cups of flour

1 tbsp of sugar

2 tsp of baking powder

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

1 1/4 cups of milk

1/2 cup of banana, mashed gently

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tsp of vanilla essence

Johnnie Cupcakes - TDF.

A little birthday gift for me - these bad boys were amazing! 

I've never had a Johnnie Cupcakes before, I'll most definitely be having one again.

There were Oreo, Reece's Cups and Red Velvet.

My absolute favourite was the red velvet cupcake.
