Neapolitan Zebra Cheesecake

May 20, 2013 by overtimecook 35 Comments

Every now and then, a person is lucky enough to come up with an idea that's pure genius. I consider myself endlessly lucky to have a platform, both here on the blog and in my magazine column, where I can share my occasional stroke of brilliance with a couple of folks. Well this one was one of my most incredible strokes of genius. Ages ago, I posted this Zebra Cake. Then I took it a step further with this ever popular Zebra Bundt Cake. And ever since then, the concept of zebra cakes and such have been in my head constantly. I wanted to create a zebra cheesecake, but plain chocolate and vanilla has been done so many times, and I wanted to do something a little more extraordinary. That's … [Read more...]

Cappuccino Cream Cheese Cookies

May 6, 2013 by overtimecook 25 Comments

I'm so excited to share this recipe with you folks today! I recently developed these cookies for company called Baker's Choice. I've been a fan of theirs for a while, and I'd like to tell you a bit about them. For kosher bakers and those in the New York area, Baker's Choice is found to be a familiar name. But for those who haven't heard the name before, let me introduce you to their fabulous line of baking products. They sell a full line of non dairy chocolate chips, non dairy peanut butter, caramel and, best of all, cappuccino chips. These chips are full of coffee goodness flavor, and provide a nicely different flavor from the typical chocolate. Also...coffee, duh. Anyway, in honor of the … [Read more...]

Healthy Chocolate Cheesecake Pancakes

January 30, 2013 by overtimecook 18 Comments

I love weekends. And I know what you're thinking. "Duh. We all do." But I have an extra love for weekends, and it's called pancakes. I know, I know, I've discussed this before, but I have a feeling most of you weren't around back then, so let me reiterate. Weekday breakfasts in my world consist of an enormous cup of coffee as I start up my computer at work, followed by a bowl of cereal and milk about an hour later. And in case any of you thought that bowl of cereal was a treat of any sort, let me clarify. When I say bowl, I actually mean a cup. As in the awful little Styrofoam cups that my company expects us to drink out of. And I have a theory about my cereal that is proven … [Read more...]

S’mores Cheesecake

August 12, 2012 by overtimecook 30 Comments

Today was liberating for me. I think I always felt that something exciting such as a cheesecake needed to be made for some kind of occasion. A family get-together, a holiday, some friends coming over, or just a regular Shabbos (Sabbath) meal. Don't worry, that hasn't stopped me from making some delicious cheesecakes in the past. I know what you're thinking. This gal makes so many different kinds of desserts, they can't all be for a special occasion. Well, they aren't. But somehow, some desserts seem fancier than others, and I always felt they needed an occasion.   And that's why today was liberating. I didn't make this cheesecake because of any special occasion. I didn't make this … [Read more...]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

March 26, 2012 by overtimecook 20 Comments

Let me tell you a story about a recipe that almost never was. No, that isn't right. Let me tell you a story about a recipe that was almost never shared. Here's what happened. I had a couple of graham cracker pie crusts that had to be used up before Passover. I also had a couple of packages of Tofutti cream cheese in my fridge. Are you seeing a pattern? Yep, I knew I was going to be making cheesecake. Non-dairy cheesecake, to be precise. As I said, I had more than one crust, so I decided to go against my golden rule and double a recipe the first time I tried it. It came out of the oven looking gorgeous, so I was totally excited. My father was around, so I offered him a piece. And he … [Read more...]
