One recipe that is always requested by my boyfriends mum is Cheesecake, when I asked what she wanted for Christmas she said the only thing she wanted was Cheesecake.
When I was a poor student, I couldn’t afford gifts but always wanted to give my boyfriends parents something. As a result, I decided I would make them something and when I asked what they liked, my boyfriends mum automatically said White Chocolate Cheesecake therefore I was making them cheesecake.
My boyfriend used to buy me the ingredients then I would make them a cheesecake as my present to them even though my boyfriends presents to his parents are always joint.
It has come a tradition now for me to make a white chocolate cheesecake for them. I have to say I love-making this cheesecake because it is always so good.
