Disgustingly Delicious

Five foods that look simultaneously disgusting and delicious

The Krispy Kream Burger of delicious doom

I would love to land on this plate of Denny's cuisine, face first.  But of course, shouldn't. Is this still being sold?!

KFC's double down sandwich, is probably too much chicken for me.  I NEED CARBS.

I take my hat off to the inventors of the Fat Darrell sandwich (which includes chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, fries, topped with marinara sauce, lettuce, and tomatoes), as I always saw putting all my favorite foods into one bun/bowl/etc as one of my unique cooking qualities.  Not so unique :(

NYC's Cer Te sold this Thanksgiving Pizza duing the festive season (which included turkey meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberries and butternut squash, topped with mozzarella). In similar news, I had heard Tesco was selling a Christmas pizza, but was unable to check it out, personally.

This list could probably go on for years, so I've forced myself to stop at 5. Must. Stop. Googling.

Oreo Cheesecake (US/UK)

Cheesecake #2!  Since these cookies n cream cupcakes were so tasty, I thought I'd work out a recipe for a similar cheesecake.  Enjoy!

You will need:
140g (just under 5oz.) Oreos or similar chocolate and cream sandwich biscuits
150g (just over 5oz.) Chocolate biscuits, preferably Oreos with the cream removed
3 Tbsp melted butter
350g (~12oz) full fat cream cheese
200g (~1 cup) granulated sugar
3 eggs
100ml (just under 1/2 cup (.42)) soured cream
1/2 Tbsp flour
2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

You will also need a 6-inch springform pan.

1. Crush 150g chocolate biscuits to a fine sandy texture.  This is best done either in a food processor or in a strong food storage bag with a rolling pin.

2. With your hands, mix crushed biscuits and 3 Tbsp melted butter in the springform pan.  Press around edges to form crust.

3. Crush 140g sandwich biscuits into large pieces.  Set aside.

4. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and cream cheese. 

5. Mix in eggs.

6. Mix in flour, soured cream, and vanilla.

7. Once smooth, stir in oreo pieces with a large spoon.  Set aside a few tablespoons for a topping after baking.

8. Pour into crust.

9. Bake for 45 minutes (or until set) at 175 C (250 F).

10.  Allow to cool before topping with remaining oreos and placing in the fridge to chill for 5-6 hours.
