I finally became the owner of a long-coveted KitchenAid
Stand Mixer last Christmas, thanks to my sister-in-law. So, now that I have this thing, what to make? I felt like its first use should be special,
should have meaning. But the
possibilities were endless and I couldn’t decide. In the end, I flipped through a Williams
Sonoma Baking cookbook and stopped randomly on…cheesecake? Sure, why not? Here are few steps in the process of making
this absolutely fantastic espresso cheesecake.
A great start to what I hope will be a beautiful relationship between my mixer and I.
This was the closest thing to a "chocolate wafer" that my husband could find at the store. We lovingly scraped away the Oreo filling to make the cheesecake crust.
Just seeing a picture of this mixer makes me giddy.
A small slice of the finished product, served as part of a brunch for some friends who were expecting their first child. With a newborn ourselves, I made sure to use decaf espresso!
