CHOCOLATE BLISS CHEESECAKE

Today (which is Saturday, 5 Sept 09 *already*, Singapore Time) is my very best friend, Debby, birthday. This is the first year I can't celebrate her b'day :(. Usually, when I was in Singapore, we always celebrated each others birthday by giving gifts and treat-ing dinner or lunch.
Well, I still celebrate her birthday though we are separated by two continents ;), so I baked this cheesecake for her. Yea, I know she is unable to taste it, but I took a photo of it and made it as an E-birthday card ;)


I choosed chocolate bliss cheesecake cos same as this cheesecake which is full of chocolate, so I wished she has a blissful life :).

Of course, after I took some photos, my hubby and I are enjoyed a piece of cheesecake. It tasted so good!! But, this is really fattening cake!! Cos the most ingredient is cream cheese!! Gosh.....I need to exercise to get rid of my cheesecake!!

Anyways, here it is the recipe which I got from Baker's recipe collections. Enjoy!!
