I think my husband thinks I’m trying to sabotage his diet. And the honest truth is……I’m not. LOL I just genuinely love making sweets and making them for him. There’s a pleasure I get seeing him thoroughly enjoy a dessert I made. So here’s my first Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake.

This deserves a place on the TL. Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake.

I got my peaches down at Pricesmart. 😂

But seriously, let’s get into this delicious peach cheesecake I made. 🤤 I love fresh produce and my TL this summer was filled with all sorts of beautiful pictures of fresh Georgia peaches. Now I don’t know if you know l, but getting fresh Georgia peaches on an island is probably impossible. However these peaches definitely made do and I created this beautiful topping to accompany my Supremy Creamy Cheesecake recipe that can be found on my blog! My husband and I definitely enjoyed more slices that we should have but we did share with a few others. Like and share this post, if you’re on St. Thomas maybe I’ll share a slice of cheesecake next time with you. 💜

I think one of the hardest thing about being a food creator is coming up with new recipes and then testing them.

One of the greatest things about being a food creator is when your recipes are a success and one of the saddest things about being a food creator is when your recipes don’t come out how you envisioned.

That’s exactly what happen with these sticky buns. They did not come out at all the way I wanted them to ☹️They look delicious and they taste good, but they are definitely not what I envisioned. So it’s back to the drawing board and retesting. I wanted to share this with you all because I’m trying to be more intentional about creating and putting out content. I hope you guys enjoy these pictures from my journey on my attempt of creating a delicious sweet and tropical sticky bun.
