New York-Style Cheesecake

So April is my month at work to bring in treats to celebrate monthly birthdays. I chose to make a cheesecake because other people would have to eat it… mwahahaha. I remember making that lime coconut cheesecake a while back and absolutely hating it. This time however, was so much simpler. There was NO BEATING of the cream cheese. It was just a mixing and a baking. I was pretty excited when I read that.
Being a New York Style Cheesecake, there’s sour cream in this recipe. Thankfully I had already bought sour cream in the past and didn’t know, so I was able to have the right amount. Y’all know I won’t be eating this cheesecake, so I’ll base my thoughts on how it was to make it and the reactions of those around me. I say thumbs up because I didn’t have to beat the damn cream cheese. I do however, need to learn to soften it more before using. I mean, I did have it sitting out for several hours, but I don’t think it was enough. I had a hard time getting it to not be chunky looking batter.

The crust looked scrumptious and I can’t say I didn’t eat some leftover chocolate wafers. I didn’t have enough to press onto the sides of the pan, so it’s just a bottom layer. Good enough I think. Hopefully people like cherries (I do not… man am I picky? I didn’t think so…) because that’s the pie filling I got to go on top.

New York State Apple Muffins

Muffins. This is the second muffin recipe I made over the weekend and I think they are much better. There’s a ton of stuff packed into this batter: apples, raisins, walnuts, and even cream cheese. Thankfully it only called for 3 oz… damn now what am I going to do with the leftover in the package? ​
The muffins themselves were really good. I wasn’t able to get a full 2 dozen due to my over pouring of the batter into the muffin tins, but I was only short by two. Luckily none of them over flowed while baking like cupcakes usually do when I make them.

I think the muffins were great and would recommend. Maybe as a fall muffin instead of spring (if you can even call this spring… it was snowing this morning STL). Thumbs up.
