bake me love: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bar

你还记得初恋的甜蜜回忆吗？(:

第一次牵手的情境。
还记得第一次，
14岁的我和他在海边，像 漫画里那么浪漫。

初恋牵住我的手，心跳好快，
紧张的连手都在冒汗！哈哈！好丢脸哦！


希望你们都有一些甜 蜜初恋的回忆，
回想起来会让自己心里觉得温暖哦！





Boyf's busy at work on my off day!
Sigh, it's a good thing that he's busy working,

But the weather is so hot- i just don't wanna go out,
i don't wanna be a couch potato,
waste the day away watching dramas again,
so i decided to bake/cook!



My fringe is getting way too long!

Should i grow out my bangs or cut it short again?



Made bento for boyf to bring to work for dinner! (:
Long time since i cooked for him~

Made japanese milk purin the night before!







Leave it in the refrigerator and chill it for the night!


Tamagoyaki/Ham cheese naruto/Sushi rice/karaage/Japanese Curry!
Boyfriend was super happy cos i haven't cooked for him for such a long time!




Had the same dinner too! Watched "How to train a dragon"
while eating and it's such a good movie!





And then i made...


Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bar!


Right out from the oven!



Drizzled melted chocolate all over the top! Ahhhhhhh yummy.








It's really good! Just imagine biting into the rich, soft cheesecake,
crispy cookie dough and the melted drizzled chocolate. OMFG.

Here's the recipe!

Crust

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 5 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 2/3 cup miniature chocolate chips

Cookie Dough

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Cheesecake Filling

• 10 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the crust:

1. Preheat oven to 190°.
   
2. Butter a 9″-square baking pan.
3. To prepare the crust combine graham cracker crumbs and butter until crumbs are moistened. Stir in the mini-chocolate chips.
4. Press crust mixture into bottom of pan and 1 inch up sides. Bake for 10 minutes. Set pan on wire rack to cool.

For the cookie dough:

1. Next, prepare the cookie dough. Using an electric mixer, mix butter, brown sugar, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract at medium speed until smooth.
2. Decrease mixer speed to low and add flour. Mix just until incorporated.
3. Stir in chocolate chips. Set aside.

For the filling:

1. To prepare the filling, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar just until smooth.
   
2. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating just until blended.
3. Pour batter into baked crust. Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls over the top of the filling.
4. Bake about 30 minutes, or until set. Transfer to wire rack.
5. To decorate with drizzled chocolate, place chocolate in a sandwich bag on a microwave safe dish and microwave in 30 second intervals moving the chocolate around between. Using scissors, cut the very tip off the sandwich bag. The smaller your cut, the smaller the drizzle.
6. Using the edges of the parchment paper, remove bars from pan. Cut into bars and serve. These bars are served best straight from the refrigerator, after cooled.

i melted my chocolate (to drizzle on top) in a piping bag
in a cup of hot water instead of the microwave method thou,
tried the microwave method and it just didn't work out for me!
My chocolate chips didn't even melt evenly and it's kinda burnt.

Try the recipe! Everyone will love it,
my mum, my dad, boyf and of cos the maker, myself!

Have fun baking! (:
