Tiramisu Cheesecake

-
I adore cheesecake and tiramisu! Now I get to enjoy them both at the same time with this recipe!
You will need:
Crust:
1 (12 oz.) pkg. of ladyfingers, crushed into fine crumbs
4 Tbs. of melted butter
1/4 cup of Kahlua
Filling:
4 (8oz.) pkgs. of softened cream cheese
1/4 cup of heavy cream
1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
1/3 cup of Kahlua
2 eggs
3 Tbs. of all-purpose flour
Ganache for topping:
9 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup of heavy cream
whipped cream and chocolate covered coffee beans for decorating


Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl, mix the ladyfinger crumbs, melted butter and Kahlua. Press onto the bottom and half way up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Refrigerate for about 10- 15 minutes. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, heavy cream and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the Kahlua and mix. Add the eggs and flour and beat until completely combined and smooth. Pour into the springform pan. Bake on the middle oven rack. Bake for about 50 minutes or until set. The middle should be slightly jiggly. Turn off the heat and open the oven door. Leave the cheesecake in the oven to cool for about 25-30 minutes. Refrigerate for 4-5 hours or overnight. To make the ganache; place the chocolate chips and heavy cream over the double boiler. Occasionally stirring until melted. Pour over the top of the cheesecake. Allow the ganache to set in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Decorate with whipped cream and chocolate covered coffee beans if desired. Enjoy!!

    I adore any kind of quiche. I know that lots of women say that men don't like quiches. I promise you that this quiche is hardy enough for a man, LOL! This quiche is not made with a pie crust.

Portuguese Baked Beans/ Feijao Assado

This dish is a portuguese traditional dish. This recipe is usually made with dry beans but,  I use the canned beans because it is much quicker to make this way. I love to eat this over a white rice but, my favorite way is to have it as a sandwich in a portuguese pop. My mom always made sandwiches with these beans for my dad and herself to bring for lunch. It is an inexpensive dish and is absolutely delicious. You will need: 2 Tbs. of extra virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1 Tbs. of portuguese paprika 1 lb. of linguicia or chourico, chopped with casing removed 1/2 of a package of smoked bacon, chopped (about 1 cup) 4 (15.5 oz.) cans of cannellini beans 3/4 cup of good red wine Salt and Pepper to taste 1/4 cup of chopped parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Then, add onion, paprika, linguica and bacon. Let these ingredients cook until the onions are translucent and the linguica...
