Cocoa Vanilla Cheesecake (No Bake)
I am yet to make a baked cheesecake, but for the quantities I make and need at home, it seems far too laborious. The last time I made and posted no bake cheesecake I used regular cream cheese, although unsalted, it left a slightly unpleasant taste after gulping down. It could be because of the preservatives in the cheese or for the fact that it did not blend well with icing sugar.
This time around, I decided to use home made mascarpone mixed in with a bit of sour curd to get the right taste.
I made it that way this time and I quite liked the outcome. You can try this, out and let me know...
Revisiting my old post with a new recipe for BM theme...
