One-Bite Lemon Cheesecakes

A couple of weeks ago (or maybe a month, I can no longer keep track of things around here) I was contacted by a representative of Duchy’s Originals, specifically their shortbread cookies. Oh yes, this is a sponsor post, but I’m not going to bore you with it – I’m keeping it short and sweet, so you can get to the recipe (which is awesome!).

Anyways, this product is very blue blood – like “Royal” blood. The Duchy Originals brand was founded by HRH Prince Charles The Prince of Wales – as in that dude that is going to be a granddaddy to the most famous baby in the world in a couple of weeks.

We have already established in this food blog that Tom’s favorite dessert is anything with fruit, or a crust (such as pie) and of course cheesecake. Because, he would pretty much sell his soul for anything in the cheesecake category.

So you can very well imagine his delight when I presented him with this week’s Heavenly Cake Baker choice.

I did toy with him for a bit. I took out the coconut cream and the coconut flakes and set them on the kitchen island Friday night. As he walked by and saw the ingredients on display, the following conversation ensued:

Once in a while we get a free choice during our bake-along with the Heavenly Cake Bakers. This is an opportunity to catch up or make something that has already been made before because you either a) pass it by b) you were to scare of it to begin with to make it.

This past weekend, I had 4 GLORIOUS days off. And my agenda looked something like this by the end of thursday night:

Wake up late
Stay in my PJ’s – ALL DAY LONG
Watch TV – lots of TV
Watch movies
Read – Lots of reading!
Lay out in the sun (weather permitting)
Cook pick up phone order something to be delivered
Go to sleep and “repeat” for the next 3 days.

Ahhh – Heaven!
