VIC LIC

We had this party last night. A friend called me and asked: Hey Vic, which ingredients do I need to make a chocolate cake? So I thought, you know what, I will do it. I've been wanting to do something fancy for a long time (only problem is that I am on a diet, but...it was ok, I bought strawberries to eat while I was doing it). So it it a very nice Cheesecake. It requires a lot of time and prep. But you can do it while you are doing something else because each stage has like a 30 min. "rest". So here you go: You will need: Layer 4: 150gm dark chocolate, finely chopped 150ml Pure cream (I'm not sure the light will work) 2 egg yolks 1/4 cup water (Around 30ml) Cocoa power for dusting Layer 3 240g 70% dark chocolate, finely chopped 600g firm ricotta (Full cream) 20g icing sugar Layer 2 240g compound white chocolate 600g firm ricotta (full cream) Layer 1 60g caster sugar 60g sour cream 100g butter divided in 60g and 40g / softened 90g plain flour - sieved 30g cocoa powder ...

From Cut out and keep, one of my new favourites website, here is an AMAZING (And not light at all) recipe: You will need:  Oreos, either one or two, depending on how much do you want to indulge Half a Marshmallow 2 rectangules from regular milk chocolate With One Oreo: If you've elected to use just one Oreo, twist it apart so that the top and bottom are separate. Face the filled side up, and put the chocolate squares on top, then layer the marshmallow half, then top it off with the remaining Oreo half. Put in the microwave at high for approximately 15-20 seconds. The marshmallow may rise and cause the top half of the Oreo to fall off; this is ok. Simply place it back on top upon removing from the microwave, and enjoy immediately. With Two Oreos: If you're going for the double Oreo version (good decision), repeat the same steps as above, simply using a whole Oreo for the top and bottom. It may take a few more seconds in the microwave, but it's oh so worth it.
