When I have time, I enjoy making cheesecakes, says Benjamin Clark of Warsaw, New York. In fact, Iâve come up with a couple of my own recipes, and one of them won second prize at a local bake-off contest. I like this fail-proof dessert because itâs so easy to prepare and has just the right mix of ingredients to make it a âspecial pleasureâ for any palate! Ingredients:
1 package (18 ounces) ready-to-bake refrigerated triple-chocolate cookie dough |
1 package (8 ounces) milk chocolate toffee bits |
1 package (9-1/2 ounces) dove dark chocolate candies |
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
3/4 cup (6 ounces) vanilla yogurt |
4 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Let dough stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. Press nine portions of dough into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish (save remaining dough for another use). Set aside 2 tablespoons toffee bits for garnish; sprinkle remaining toffee bits over dough.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate candies; stir until smooth. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk and yogurt until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in vanilla and melted chocolate. Pour over crust.
3. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with whipped cream and reserved toffee bits. Yield: 24 servings.
