Twix Cheesecake Pie

I mentioned earlier this week that my sister’s birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year. So our dessert this year will be my sister’s birthday cake. She already requested that I make her a cheesecake. While we were discussing her birthday cheesecake, we passed a few idea around, most of which involved a candy bar themed cheesecakes. We settled on a KitKat cheesecake for her but the idea I had for a Twix cheesecake stuck with me. I decided to make one anyway and make it into a cheesecake pie, or as little man calls it, “Cheesecake Cake Pie!” (He could’t decide which one it was so he named it all three.)

I can’t believe my baby sister is turning 15 in just two weeks, less than that actually. It’s crazy to imagine that she will be getting her driving permit in two weeks, she is in high school and dating. She told me that she will be going to Spain on a class trip in the spring and my first thought was, “what? You’re like 5!” All these things still seem a little impossible to me because she is still that little chubby baby who loved to sit on her potty in the middle of the living room, watching Blue’s Clues. Seems like I was just changing her diapers and rocking her to sleep yesterday and there she goes, starting to drive already. It’s just too soon!
