The urge to bake was really brought on by a friend who said, "let's make cheesecake this friday!" Lucky for us, cream cheese just happened to be on sale ! and lucky for me, I didn't have to stress over what to bring to a thanksgiving dinner on sunday. Cheesecake was it. Now I didn't want to make the simple no bake cheesecake so I did my research. In 5 mins, after comparing several recipes, I found the winner!

I wanted something complicated and delicious. This was it! Click on above link for recipe and directions.
Note, because I did not have lemon extract, I simply grated 1/4 of a whole lemon zest.

And because I had a bar of Lindt 72%dark chocolate bar, I decided to melt it in a double pot simmering method and glaze the cake. As you can tell, since this is the first time I glazed a cake with chocolate... it did not look very nice. But I learnt. :D
