Yeeeesssss!!!!! It's a GIRL!

Everyone who crossed their fingers for me, THANK YOU!  Jim’s coworker’s baby was born, and it is a girl!  My pink quilt is all done and ready to go, woohoo!

But I’m here to tell you, RUN to the store and grab a tub of nasty Cool Whip, because Karen’s cheesecake recipe?  Oh baby!  If you were one of the ones who tried my cheesecake recipe and liked it, then this one will thrill you to death, because it’s half the work and every bit as good, in fact I like it better!

I’ve never cared for the taste of no bake cheesecakes, but this one uses melted white chocolate in it just like my recipe… it makes all the difference in the world.  The cool whip makes it light and fluffy, the oreo cookie crust (purchased even!) adds just the right bite of color and chocolate, and the blackberry sauce?  Oh yeah, it’s orgasmic.  Trust me.

Normall when my folks come to visit, I send whatever desert I made home with them.  Today I refused.  Oink, oink!    I’m going to eat it ALL myself, it’s SO good!

I followed Karen’s recipe exactly, using an oreo cookie crust instead of plain graham cracker crust, and replaced the toffee with the sauce.

To make the sauce, use 2 cups of blackberries tossed with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste) and 1/2 cup of water.  Mash the berries and cook over low heat until it thickens.  Strain it to remove the seeds, let cool, and serve with the cheesecake.

Oh baby!
