This week has been the week of perfect pairings. First, I paired butterscotch and marshmallow fluff to make the perfect cupcake. Now, I've paired chocolate chip cookie dough and cheesecake to make the the perfect cookie bar.
I've never made a true, baked cheesecake. You know, the kind that requires a spring-form pan and a water bath to bake. As my mom said on the phone the other day (when I pitched the idea of a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving), "aren't they hard to make?" Maybe so. And while I think I'm up for that challenge, after eating these cheesecake bars I may never make a traditional cheesecake, EVER. There's no need.
