Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake

Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake from My Sweet Vegan.
Why the eff isn't Hannah paying me to promote this thing?
This only lasted a couple of hours.Everyone loved it.Including me.Probably my 3rd favourite recipe from my sweet vegan so far.My favourite is the triple threat chocolate cheesecake,and I thought that this was almost as good,but not AS good.I love the coffee and caramel flavours,obviously they're paired here for a reason. Oh and with the chocolate crust really made it good.I put chocolate covered espresso beans on top and crushed in the crust,too.
The caramel sauce didn't work the first time;it hardened as soon as I added the rest of the arrowroot,so I made it again and just cooked it less.It sets up fast,though!

I would also like to mention that Daniel didn't even get to have a slice,and this is tragic because my sister Sarah worked at Starbucks for 2.5ish years and would always bring us free drinks.He would ALWAYS get a caramel macchiato.Despite the fact that he was/is so anti-Starbucks.But I think he looked at it as more of "bringing down the man from the inside" since the drinks were free and using us Starbuck's "valuable resources".Yes,really bringing them down.He hasn't had one in years,but he still loves them.Oh well,I made him the cinnamon rolls he wouldn't shut up about wanting after I made the others for Joanne and Glenn.

best pie ever and black bottom blondies

So,besides the totally incredible,melt in yr mouth,super smooth and chocolate-y,so good it needs no words(hence the post) cheesecake I posted a couple days ago,there has been more baking going on.

I made SMLOVE purely out of an intense craving I got last night after seeing mrsbadmouthkt's porn of it.As you may know,smlove is my favourite dessert,well besides the cake i made for my birthday,but w/e,smlove is amazing and i made it in November and thought i'd give it a while before making it again,and i was planning on making cheesecake instead,but no,I NEEDED smlove.I needed to be shown smlove.And I needed it with a glass of chocolate peppermint soymilk.Which I never crave and wouldn't usually want,but it needed to be done.SO good.So glad I gave in.

Black Bottom Blondies from My Sweet Vegan.
The black bottom brownies sector is really really dense and fudgy and the blondies are everything that was perfect about the butterscotch blondies all on top.These were for my friend Karl,but I WILL be making these again.
