I wouldn't put cheesecake on my list of "Most Favorite Desserts," but when I saw Fanny's very vanilla cheesecake (cheesecake très vanille) on her blog Foodbeam, I got a craving. It doesn't help that Fanny's beautiful photos make me look at my own food and want to cry. After reading her description of the cake, I wanted to cry some more: "rich and thick yet feathery," "fragrant with vanilla," atop a milk chocolate crust with a "pleasing buttery aftertaste." Recreate the deliciousness in your home by following her recipe. I'll just continue to oogle her photos.
