Or it can be.

Baking has always been something I have been passionate about. I also enjoy cooking. No, I am not a professional chef or baker, as you will probably see in my dishes; they aren't always the prettiest of things. I do love cooking though, and because of my family I tend to cook low calorie dishes, but I warn you, some do go out there in the calorie zone. I will post yummy recipes I make along with pictures here. I warn you I do like spicy food, so sometimes they will be a little spicy, but I will let you sometimes choose how spicy the meal is. Anywho enjoy.

20 minute no bake cheesecake with raspberry sauce.

My goodness it has been a while since I have been able to post anything on here. You know how it is though with work and school; they take over your life. I will be moving into my dorm rooms soon so I decided I wanted to put something up.  I was actually thinking about it for a while, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to make.  It is sunny and hot, even here in the Seattle area, so I didn't want to have to use the oven.  After a while of thinking and pinterest looking my mom actually showed me this recipe. It looked great, and it didn't involve having an oven, if you take the sauce off you don't even need the stove and could be made in a dorm room!  Try this out, I am sure you will love it! My dad did and he doesn't even like cheesecake! This recipe makes four servings.
 


What You Will Need

For the Graham Cracker 
Crust:                                                           

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 TBS brown sugar
2 TBS melted butter
1 1/2  Tsp. ground cinnamon

The Cheesecake 
8 oz softened Cream cheese.
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp corn syrup                                 

Raspberry sauce
2 cups raspberries
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 tsp corn starch
2 TBS sugar
2 tsp lime juice


How To Make It:

To make things easy on yourself I would suggest making each thing separately and then once everything is done you can assemble it together.


The Graham Cracker Crust

1. Combine cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
2. Stir in melted butter until a small crumble forms
3. store in fridge until ready to assemble dessert.


Cheesecake

1. Pour whipped cream in a mixing bowl and whip on high until soft peaks form. About two to three minutes
2. Add syrup to whipped cream and mix for another two minutes on high.
3. In a separate bowl combine cheesecake, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix on High until smooth.
4.  Fold in half of the whipped cream into   the cream cheese mixture. After well combined fold in the other half and store in fridge until ready to assemble.


Raspberry Sauce.

1.  Combine corn starch and sugar and then mix in water.
2. Add raspberries and heat on medium high heat until the sauce begins to boil stirring frequently.  Once it boils stir constantly for  five minutes.
3. Run sauce through fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.

Assembly

Separate the graham cracker crust crumble to the bottom of four small bowls, spoon...or if you want it to look fancy pipe in, the cheesecake mixture. Finish it off with the sauce.

As a side note, if you want to you can use the rest of the heavy whipping cream to make whipped cream to have with it. It is easy!  Just add two tablespoons of sugar with the cream and whip until peaks form. I hope you all enjoy this!
