Mini Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake


Oh my...I've been on a bit of a vacation from my blog. Not literally, no. I've just had lots of things going on in my life that took all my motivation from cooking and baking. But hopefully now that I've moved back to my parents', and I have access to all the utensils and ingredients, this sad situation will change and I'll post many delicious recipes!
Yay for that! :)
Let's start with these mini cheesecakes... What can I say, cheesecake and chocolate combined. The recipe is ridiculously easy, I literally just threw it together. No skills are needed, you probably have all the ingredients at hand (maybe except for the cream cheese) and who doesn't wanna have cheesecake on the weekend?? Oh! And one has a lot less calories than a slice of cheesecake does! 
So what are you waiting for? Go, make some! :)

Mini Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake
makes 12 mini cakes

for the crust
6 graham crackers or cookies - I used sugar free cookies
3 Tbsp melted butter

for the cream cheese filling
1 pound (500 grams) Philadelphia cream cheese
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
3 eggs
2.5 Tbsp double cream
4 Tbsp (25 grams) flour
1 tsp vanilla

for the chocolate ganache
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1.5 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp double cream

Preheat oven to 360F (180C).
To make the crust, pulse the crackers in a food processor until they're fine crumbles. Add the melted butter and mix it together.
Place muffin papers in the holes of your muffin pan. Put 1-2 tablespoons of the crumbs into the muffin papers. Use your fingers to flatten to the bottom. Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Then let them cool.

Reduce oven to 210F (100C).

To make the filling, mix the cream cheese and sugar for 2 minutes. Add the eggs, cream and vanilla. Mix, add in the flour and mix it together.
Pour the cream cheese fillings into the muffin papers using an ice cream scoop. 
Bake for 45 minutes then raise the temperature to 300F (150C). Bake for another 15 minutes.

Cool the cheesecakes while making the ganache. Heat the double cream in a small saucepan. Add the chocolate and the oil and simmer until all melted.
When the cheesecakes are cool enough, spread the ganache on top! Refrigerate them overnight or for a few hours and enjoy! :)

Brown Butter Walnut Cake with Chocolate-Mocha Ganache

This post is yet again an example of how I procrastinate when it comes to studying or making a presentation. Whichever. This is going to be a lovely tale about a "magnifique" cake.  I got my inspiration to make that brown butter walnut sensation from  Procrastobaker . It is seriously one of the best things I've ever baked. I do not think the photos do justice when I tried to catch how breath-taking the cake is once a bite lands in your mouth... It is crispy on the outside and so juicy in the inside and the chocolate-mocha ganache goes just perfectly well with it. I changed the original recipe a bit, as I worked with walnuts and I added a layer of chocolate cream inside the cake, as well. Also, it is important to add that it is best one day after it was made. While it chilled in the fridge. Oh my... It was such a hit! Definitely going to make it again...and again... :) But I won't keep you on your toes and fill you in with this lovely recipe!

Hungarian Kakaós Csiga (Chocolate Rolls)

Frankly, I missed baking so much! Even though I needed one baking-free month to lose all the weight I gained due to the excessive baking mania I got over this summer I just cannot stop it! So I decided that I don't have to give up this love of mine but I do have to figure out something that will not leave me end up gaining weight again. What to do, what to do...Bake only in the weekends! And probably I should get a grip and not stuff my face until I can't move...Which didn't really happen today. I ate like 6 of these lovely chocolate rolls...I guess, no dinner for Csilla tonight :P These rolls are from a traditional Hungarian pastry recipe. I called my Grandma to ask for the recipe and as it always happens with Grandma recipes she did not know the measurements...I don't know if it's only with my grandmas but they always work with their eyes so they usually have no idea how much grams I need from this or that... So I turned to an ancient Hungarian cookbook and that
