TWD - Biscuits Rose

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Biscuits Rose. These pink tinted meringue cookies are Dorie’s version of Biscuits Roses de Reims, an 18th century treat.

“Biscuit” means twice baked. These cookies are not actually baked twice in the oven, but they are dried in the air before baking.

These cookies look pretty, and taste ok, but as Dorie notes, they are not very sweet. For that reason, they are not my cup of tea.

TWD - Marbled Cheesecake

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Marbled Cheesecake. The cheesecake is a combination of vanilla and chocolate, with a biscuit base.

The cheesecake is a traditional baked cheesecake, baked in a waterbath in the oven.

The recipe made a massive cheesecake, with nearly a kilo of cream cheese in the filling. I halved the filling, which made a more manageable and economical cheesecake.

The chocolate cheesecake batter is made by combining a chocolate and coffee syrup mixture with a third of the vanilla batter.

I used Malt O Milk biscuits for my cheesecake’s biscuit base.

As a cheesecake lover, I enjoyed this tasty dessert.
