I recently heard from Debbie Phelps (the mother of Michael Phelps) that Michael’s favorite cheesecake is her New York Style Cheesecake with Strawberries or cherries on top. I have a similar recipe for that cheesecake on my web site. Michael made history last year at the 2008 Beijing Olympics when he won eight gold medals. This is just the newest addition to his already impressive swimming career.
Many thanks to Debbie for getting back to me.

Gift from a Friend

Yesterday I took a chocolate cheesecake to work to share with my co-workers. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and were anxious to check out the recipes on my web site.
Today I was pleasantly surprised when one of my friends brought a cheesecake recipe book to work for me. It was something her mother gave her years ago and she told me that she hoped I would take the hint and continue making cheesecakes to bring to work. I was quickly assured that everyone at work would be happy to help me out by sampling the results of any new recipes I wanted to try!

I am still trying to add to a section on my web site that will provide favorite celebrity cheesecake recipes. If any celebrities would like to share a recipe, or if you know a celebrity, I would love to hear from you.
Celebrities are always a source of fascination and I thought it would a lot of fun to have something like this. I hope to hear from you!
Cheesecake Tip #4
March 5, 2009 at 11:24 am (Cheesecake Tips)
In order to prevent any leakage from the bottom of the cheesecake pan, try placing it on a cookie sheet before putting it in the oven. This also makes it a bit easier to get it out when the baked cheesecake is done.
Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake

If you love chocolate cheesecakes, I think you will love this rich, delicious dessert.
Crust:
1 and 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/3 cup melted butter
6 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine the crust ingredients in a small bowl and press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch spring form pan. Set aside.
Filling:
3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 oz.) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
4 eggs at room temperature
1/4 cup Kahlua, optional
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
With electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese until light and smooth. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time and blend after each addition. Blend in the remaining ingredients and mix well then pour the mixture over the crust.
Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until center is set. Remove from the oven and loosen the cake from the edges of the pan with a sharp knife but don’t remove the sides. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate for several hours before removing the rim and serving.
Serves 14.
Savory Cheesecakes…The Other Cheesecake
March 3, 2009 at 2:58 am (cheesecake recipes, Savory Cheesecake Recipes)
If you are like me (and most people) you probably have heard of but never had a savory cheesecake. Maybe you have never even heard of them.
Savory cheesecakes as opposed to regular cheesecakes are just that. Savory, not sweet. They are usually served warm or at room temperature and are good for use as an hors d’oeuvre, appetizer or as a light supper, possibly accompanied by a salad.
There are may delicious recipes that can be made and you might want to have a party just so you can try some of these great cheesecakes.
