Chocolate Stout Beer Cheescake
The weather is said to be good this weekend so I am pretty excited that I’ll have a chance to spend the Saturday out with friends in a park along with some delicious munchies.
It’s been
raining in the last couple of weeks so having the Sun out and a nice, clean weather is something we have all been waiting for.Sunscreen, hats, and shorts are needed finally and we can soak in some solar energy aswell. It is really nice to have a ” nothing to do” type of day without internet anyway and conversate with your hungovered friends while laying on blanket.
I have been thinking a lot about what to bring for this potluck as my friends usually make the same stuffs: dips, fresh bread, home-made marmalade and sausage – which is of course the best thing you could dream of on a Sunday -, however its not so pleasing if all of you bring the same foods… hahah…
So I am excited to make something extraordinary and mouth watering for the event, however I just can’t ignore the fact that I have been having extreme amounts of work at the office this week…. result: NO TIME FOR SOMETHING SURPRISINGLY GOURMET…but who cares, I’ll bake something that will combine all the things my friends are addicted to as well: beer, cheescake, fresh fruits, healthy living… I think it will work for all invitants… at least I hope… 😉
So here’s the Chocolate Stout beer cheesecake recipe I imagined …
I really hope that my pals will like it and please share with me what your friends and beloved ones thought about the recipe… Enjoy summer time!! 🙂
Ingredients 
- 1 cup oatmeal cookie crumbs
- 5 tbsp low fat, sugar free cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp cane sugar
- 2 tbsp butter,melted
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 8 oz lowfat cream cheese

Instructions
- Mix the oatmeal cookie crumbs, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp cane sugar and melted butter together in a medium bowl. Pour into the base on a 9-inch springform pan and press down into the bottom of it. Store in the freezer for 1-2 hours or while you make the filling. The longer it stays in the freezer the better it gets.

- In a separate big bowl mix 2 tbsp cocoa powder and heavy cream, stirring together until combined.
- Add the cream cheese, mascarpone, mix in 1 tbsp of cane sugar, yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, chopped apple and the Guinness.
- Pour this mixture into the springform pan and decorate the top with some sliced apple.
- Bake for 50- 60 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the cheesecake in the oven, with a wooden spoon in the oven door to hold it slightly ajar. Let sit for 60 minutes.
- Chill in the fridge overnight before serving.
Enjoy+Enjoy+ Enjoy 🙂
