Chocolate Cheesecake Coma

Traditional Pizza Rustica oozing with ham, proscuitto, ricotta and all things cured meat and Italian dairy, breadcrumb stuffed artichokes, savory meatballs in marinara, fork tender peices of pork shoulder, steaming red lasagna and our lonely attempt at a "light" option in vegetable white lasagna; after Easter dinner, I wish I had jumped in on that whole Jesus diet and fasted for 40 days. Then I probably wouldn't feel the need to desperately pull up the top of my leggings to hide my food baby belly.

Tomorrow it is back to fresh fruit, oatmeal and grilled chicken. As soon as I heard the Keurig revving up like a caffeine infused motor and my mom walking towards the kitchen carrying that simple white box those nutritious notions were quickly knocked from my health concious mind.

Holey Moses Cheesecake is tucked behind runways and construction signs at Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach, NY. Family owned and happily operated you will always leave this tiny yellow sugar sanctuary with a pie in hand and a smile on your face. They have everything from peach cobbler and apple crumb to key lime pie and oreo cheesecake, but this year my mother brought home the Holy Grail of Holey Moses- the chocolate mouse cheesecake.

I am not the biggest fan of cheesecake in general but you could put chocolate on top of chicken feet and it would appease my inner fat kid. This creamy whipped piece of heaven sits on top of a perfect crumbly graham cracker crust and even though at this point I might as well have take a slice and applied it directly to my love handles, I savored every bite of my extra large piece (which meshed wonderfully with my chocolate glazed donut flavored cup of coffee...okay I think I have an addiction).

So since I am so full the only words now coming to my mind are "fluffy pillows" and "down comforters" I have to say goodnight. I hope you all had a fantastic Easter with your friends and family and the next time you happen to find yourself in Westhampton Beach stop in at Holey Moses and pick up a pie. I promise you won't be disappointed. (Try the Black Forest Cheesecake too!)
