I’ve been bitten by the baking bug! When I went on my last grocery shopping trip it was all with baking in mind. I was excited to get home and start baking one of the many recipe in mind. When the excitement and euphoria wore off I realized I don’t bake… Often. That’s not going to stop me because once I think of a recipe in my head. I have to execute. I’ve been on a smores and cheesecake kick recently. Wanting them both a lot, but never had them together. So I decided to just throw them together and see what happens. Now, I never make cheesecake because that’s my moms territory and hers is the best so I knew if I had to make one it’ll be different. Turns out this combination was destined for each other. The marshmallows give this cheesecake a baked Alaska kind of touch once its out of the oven with a beautiful golden brown glossy crust. Try it out and let me know what you think!
