Cookie. Butter. CHEESECAKE?!
MUSTHAVENOW
We went to this incredible french restaurant in the Berkshires. All the food was unbelievably amazing, including the desserts.
To the left (Mine): Warm blondie with rum-soaked raisins, vanilla sea salt caramel gelato and whipped cream
To the right (Wife's): Vanilla & peach einkorn buttermilk cake with wild blueberry marmalade, oat-einkorn crumble and whipped cream0 -
I shudder to think about what a calorie bomb cookie butter cheesecake must be, but I'll bet it's worth it.
That looks great Iwishyouwell. Also, I'm still mad/grateful that you turned me onto Haagen Dazs pralines and cream.0 -

Did not know what einkorn was. Kind of sounds like German for Unicorn.... googled it, a little sorry to learn it is just a non-hybridized type of wheat. Oh well - the pics look delicous!
Oh and MrM - that looks amazing. Will have to go check out TJ soon... see if I can rustle up the Cookie Butter ice cream and the Cheesecake.
For all you cookie butter lovers, has anyone else tried these? Had them at a party last year - delicious but amazingly rich...

Ugh. All you guys have such amazeballs treats readily available where you are. I need to save up, open my own company, and start being the sole distributor of imported goodies to Singapore. BRB. Going to set up #HelpBellaBeSwella2015 fund.0

So I'm working in Manhattan today and saw a friend's post on another site about this coming out so I figured why not hit Trader Joe's since there is one on like every other block.
Butter Cookie Cheesecake. It was very good. Strong cookie butter flavor obviously and the graham cracker so the perfect complement. I recommend everyone try it at least once.
That looks amazing! Did you ever find the ice cream?0 -

Hopefully I'll find out. The wife is heading to TJ as I type...ILiftHeavyAcrylics wrote: »That looks great Iwishyouwell. Also, I'm still mad/grateful that you turned me onto Haagen Dazs pralines and cream.
You're welcome. I still haven't picked up a pint it, but I did see it at a Walgreens in Manhattan. Glad you mentioned it, I should remedy that.0 -

410 calories per slice x 16 slices = 6,560 calories for the whole thing.
It was sooooooooooooooo good.
They come in difference sizes? The one we got was 410, but only 6 slices, for 2460 for the whole cake.

No you're right. Last night when I went to serve her a piece of it I looked at the box again and it was 6 slices per cake, not 16. I saw a 1 there when there clearly wasn't one. Thank god because 16 slices would have been tiny.Iwishyouwell wrote: »ILiftHeavyAcrylics wrote: »I shudder to think about what a calorie bomb cookie butter cheesecake must be, but I'll bet it's worth it.

The funny thing is after my wife brought it home, but before I looked at the box myself, I quoted her the caloric value of 6,560 for the whole thing. She was floored and said "OMG, no, why did you tell me to get that!" and I was all "what does it matter, it sounds amazing". LOL. We were both relieved though that the cake only a little over 2400 calories. For me that means if I love it I might go get one for myself and I'll feel perfectly fine finishing that off alone.

Something I'm trying out, for Thanksgiving maybe? I'd welcome any thoughts. I wonder if it might be too much going on with the rose and the caramel, so I might try just a basic swirl with the caramel instead. But the rose uses up less frosting.0 -
It's a gingerbread cupcake with cinnamon frosting and a spun caramel topper.0

Anybody have a good store bought pumpkin or sweet potato pie that they love? I can make my own quite well, but just don't think I'll be in the mood to.0
