Hay Hay Say Cheese For Donna
I'm not quite up to mixing and blending yet so I had my son sous chef make my entry for Hay Hay Its Donna Day #10 - Cheesecake. He insisted on replacing the plain vanilla biscuits with Oreos . We didn't bother with any almond meal as in the original recipe but just blitzed the entire packet of Oreos in the blender and added the melted butter. The sous chef thinks next time we should blitz two packets and make a thicker base.
Awesome! I could do with a strong male helping me too, I need a rest from breaking 2 pkts of gingernuts! They were too much for my foodprocessor! opps hehe

Oreo base sounds very tasty.
Having a sous chef sounds great, if he's ever looking for work in Ireland...

The sous chef also wanted to flavour it peppermint and tint it green, which would have been perfect for St Pat's day.

Glad to see that the menfolk are helping out in your time of need! The cake looks divine, love the swirl of cream and cookie on top ;)

Ellie - the menfolk are most helpful.
Patricia - when he was tiny not all his ideas were so good.
Sandi - you can see we are not cheese cake snobs.
Plum - and he did the dishes after.
Joey - everyone should have a sous chef.
