No bake cheesecake with sour cream and mascarpone


Cheesecake is Peter’s favorite dessert and he rates the restaurants we visit depending on the ability of the chef to prepare a really good cheesecake.
Until yesterday I’ve never prepared cheesecake – I usually tend to search for chocolate based desserts, but he had an important exam and I really wanted to please him with something tasty and relaxing. So, the search for the best cheesecake recipe started. 
I had some requirements towards the cheesecake – apart from the obligatory cream cheese my cheesecake has to include a lot of mascarpone and the specific taste of sour cream – no condensed milk, no heavy cream and no gelatin. 
The baked cheesecakes lack the fresh taste which is the most important requirement for a summer dessert – so it has to be a no bake cheesecake. The moment I saw this filling I already knew that this was the best recipe for the filling of my cheesecake.
And what about the topping? Nothing is better than some spoon of sour cherry jam which adds some sourness to all the creamy blend of ingredients.
What is the taste of this cheesecake? It is fresh, light and creamy. This recipe includes so many high-class ingredients which makes it pricey that you could never expect to receive it anywhere else than in somebody's home. Why not in your's?
You need less than 15 minutes to prepare this recipe and I bet, this will become also your favorite no bake cheesecake recipe. Because this is the best cheesecake ever, said Peter and I tend to believe him – he is the greatest cheesecake expert I know.

Chocolate mascarpone almond cake

Peter has a birthday today. 
He is turning nine, yes, he is already a big boy. I am really so proud of him. 
Of course, I wanted to please him preparing a birthday cake he would like. In fact, this is the favorite birthday cake of our whole family - the chocolate mascarpone almond cake. 
One evening some months ago we were dreaming about the most perfect cake according to our tastes. So everyone of us suggested the kind of ingredients the cake should have. 
Mascarpone, said Violet. 
Chocolate, added I (predictably). 
Biscuits and heavy cream, wanted Peter. 
Almonds, proposed D. 
I put all these words into Google and, surprisingly, there really was a recipe including all of them (this is the source in Bulgarian). The same day we prepared the cake and this was it. This IS it. The cake which holds the taste of roasted almonds, chocolate and mascarpone.
Happy birthday, Peter! I hope, all your wishes will come true! Life is so sweet!
