ARTIFICIAL COLOUR

So, I thought I would be a champion and make two things at once: Nutella Macarons and a Green Tea Cheesecake. Note to self: Don’t be a champ when you are clearly a noob. My macarons turned out great but my green tea cheesecake was disastrous.

The recipe I used listed all the ingredients in order of their use. So instead of listing the amount of sugar needed in total, it was divided up per use. I messed this part up and added two cups of sugar instead of two teaspoons with my cookie crust and it was all down hill from there.

1. Cookie crust was not sticking together
2. Ran out of green tea
3. Tasted like I was eating cream cheese from the container
4. Used more sugar than I was supposed to for the crust

Will I try making this again? Definitely, but not anytime soon. I think I’m going to stick with cookies and cake for a while before I move onto cheesecakes and other desserts.
