Chocolate Cheesecake

Would you please add a chocolate cheese cake? Thanx so much! --Merrianne
Hi Merrianne! I’ve got a few chocolate-y cheesecakes you can choose from: Chocolate Cheesecake Pie combines Neufchatel cheese (which is similar to cream cheese), chocolate chips and sour cream in a graham cracker crust. Brownie Swirl Cheesecake has a brownie crust, with a cream cheese filling and chocolate drizzle. And my favorite, Frosty Mocha Cheesecake, is a frozen cheesecake with a cookie-crumb crust and coffee flavored filling. I think you'll like them all!

    I live in Penang, Malaysia, and can't buy evaporated milk. Can you suggest an alternative I could use? Oh -- the same for buttermilk. Thanks.

    How do I make cookies in Nevada??! I live in what is considered high altitude (4200-4300 ft above sea level) and can't seem to get my cookies to rise at all. Quite frankly, I couldn't do it in Oregon either. I have fresh baking powder and baking soda, and the same cookie recipe my family has been using for generations. I just can't get them to rise. Great for hockey pucks though!

    Hi Denise,

    My goodness, I didn’t realize there are so many people allergic to cinnamon!  I had this very question a couple of weeks ago, but about Cinnamon-less Apple Pie.  The advice there holds true for pumpkin pie as well: You can substitute another spice (like nutmeg or allspice), or simply omit the cinnamon.

    And if you haven't finalized your menu yet, you might want to browse all my Thanksgiving Recipes!My boyfriend is allergic to cinnamon and he wants pumpkin pie. What can I use instead of cinnamon?

    I would like a recipe for Muffaletta (may not be spelled correctly). I have only found one place in Dallas that sells the sandwich and that is too far to drive for just a sandwich, so if I can find a recipe, I can make my own. Thank you, Gretchen
