This week's Sweet Melissa Sundays pick, Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake, was chosen by Shandy of Pastry Heaven.
Being late and missing a couple of the picks from last month, I decided that I would make this super early - Tuesday!
I had left out the rum - since I am afterall still underage. Also, I left out the hazelnuts in the cookie crust part - I didn't have enough time to get some. I don't think either really made a big difference. I also left out the glaze on top - I made these mini cheesecakes in the nick of time. They were out and ready about 30 minutes before I had to leave.
The crust ended up a bit harder than I wanted it, but overall it was still really good. The cheesecake part was very rich and creamy - so rich and creamy that I kind of didn't want to finish it, but I did! I gave them out to my friends and such, and they all enjoyed it. I think my roommates did too!
