It's Impossible to Eat Just One Slice of This Cherry Cheesecake Want to surprise the family? You can make a beautiful and delicious dessert like this cherry cheesecake. Just follow Martha Stewart's instructions. Ingredients: Cooking spray 8 graham crackers (3 by 5 inches) 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 3 cups of cottage cheese 220 g of cream cheese bars ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar ½ cup of sour cream 4 large eggs 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract ½ teaspoon of salt 680 g frozen cherries Preparation method: 1- Turn on the oven at 160ºC and place one of the racks in the lower third. Spread the spray in a springform pan. Line the side with a long strip of parchment paper. 2- Then, in a food processor, grind the biscuits until they become fine crumbs. Add the oil and mix everything. Transfer the crumbs to the prepared pan and press them into the bottom creating a crust. Place the pan on a rimmed tray. Bake for 15 minutes. 3- Meanwhile, clean the bowl and processor blade. Mix the two types of cheese for four to five minutes. Add 3/4 cup sugar, sour cream, eggs, flour, vanilla and salt. Mix just until the filling is homogeneous. 4- Pour the filling over the crust (the crust can be hot or warm). Bake until the center is slightly firm for about an hour. Turn off the oven. Let the cake cool in the oven for one hour. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. It only takes about two hours. Place in the fridge until firm. 5- Prepare the topping and, in a frying pan, mix the cherries and the remaining two tablespoons of sugar. Boil until the liquid is thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate for at least two hours. 6- To serve, unmold the cheesecake (remove and discard the paper). Transfer to a platter and spread the topping on top. https://ift.tt/462USPi

Chipotle sauce is a popular creamy sauce made with spicy, smoky chipotle peppers mixed with mayonnaise and sour cream or crema. Homemade Chipotle Sauce Ingredients •Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce- Use the canned product you normally find in the grocery store. You can also use the product labeled "adobo sauce". If offers the smoky-spicy flavor, made with smoked and dried jalapeno peppers. The dried chipotles are drenched in delicious adobo sauce. •Mexican Crema- You can use sour cream or Greek yogurt, but I prefer the flavor of Mexican crema. •Mayonnaise- Use your favorite brand. •Fresh Cilantro. •Spices- Cayenne powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. How To Make Chipotle Sauce - The Recipe Method: First, gather up your ingredients, which include a can of chipotles in adobe (but of course!), along with ½ cup Mexican crema (or sour cream), ¼ cup mayo, chopped cilantro, cayenne powder for flavor and heat, garlic powder, cumin, and a bit of salt and pepper.

First time this summer eating this delicious summer dessert (strawberry shortcake). It's actually one of my favorite desserts and very few restaurants have it as a regular item let alone even as a seasonal one. My first time making this strawberry shortcake with Annie's brand biscuits (no homemade biscuits this time) and I made it healthier by making the homemade fresh strawberry sauce from my "Kick Diabetes Cookbook" (I don't have diabetes, but when I bought it for someone as a gift in the past, I got one for myself, too). The cookbook had a fresh berries puree recipe that you can serve hot or cold on various foods (ice cream, pancakes, or as I tried with strawberry shortcake!) 😊The cookbook has healthy recipes. The strawberry sauce I made has no sugar or sugar substitute in it. I did put on the good whip cream (that's from a can) that's a natural type from Fred Meyer. After eating this one pictured below, I had to cook one more biscuit & have seconds. I mean c'mon one? 🤨😊
