Cookies are ridiculously photogenic.

Like, have you ever seen a bad picture of a cookie?

I haven’t.

And because there always happens to be ridiculously photogenic (and delicious) cookies in my house, I decided to take some pictures. Here are a few shots from the photo shoot. Be right back. Going to get myself a cookie.

Gorgeous city, isn’t it?

The bad: I do not live in NYC.
The good: It is possible to enjoy a sliver of NYC in the comfort of your home.

Wait, what? How?

Enter… NYC! Haha, get it? 😉 I think I now deserve to win the cheesiest person in the world award.

Have a fantabulous Monday!

Cookie Dough

Cookie dough: a blend of cookie ingredients that has been mixed into a malleable form which has not yet been hardened by heat. Often eaten as is.

I’m sorry, Wikipedia, but is that the best definition you’ve got for cookie dough? Here’s what it should be:

Cookie dough: a blend of SERIOUSLY ADDICTIVE cookie ingredients that I can’t stop eating and is wrecking my healthy eating goals. Damn you. Needless to say, I have been eating waaaay too much cookie dough ice cream. Like, seriously disproportional to the amount of exercise I’ve been getting.

But then again, you only live once. #YOLO

Have a fantastic Friday!

Crustless Chocolate Cheesecake with Toasted Coconut

Things you may or may not know about me:

  1. I love cheesecake.
  2. I love chocolate.
  3. I love coconut.

One day I thought to myself, is it possible to create a dish using cream cheese, chocolate and coconut?

Furthermore… is it possible to create a healthy, low-calorie, diet-friendly dish with these ingredients?

The answer is yes, and YES!

Enter CCCTC, a.k.a. crustless chocolate cheesecake with toasted coconut!To make this delicious dessert, start with my trusted Dukan cheesecake recipe.

Modifications:

  1. Omit the crust.
  2. Add two tablespoons of cocoa powder to the batter.
  3. While cheesecake is baking, toast six tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut.
  4. When the cheesecake is slightly firm, evenly spread toasted coconut on top and continue baking.
  5. Increase the total baking time by ten minutes.

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? 😉
