cheese dessert, my friend's style

This is a recipe a fellow teacher came up with after spending some time in Italy. She made it, we ate it, loved it, asked her for the recipe but no one knows what it is. But it has some similarity to tiramisu.

A packet of xhortbread biscuit, cut inti smaller pieces.
dipped in strong nescafe and lined on a 2 inch deep plate

Soften 250 g of cream cheese to room temperature,
beat it with 1/2 cup of whipping cream,
add 1 egg
1/2 a cup of caster sugar (or less if u don't have a sweet tooth)
a few drops of vanilla essence

Pour it over the biscuit. chill it as cold as u can but not frozen,

Before serving, sift cocoa powder over it.

Warning, it is lovely to taste but serve only a small portion as it tends to be very overwhelming
This is a savoury biscuit I like to bake. It is not sweet so it need an acquired taste for it.
Actually it s just pastry

Rub 100 g of self raising flour with
50 g of butter
add a bit of water to bind
add another 50 to 100 g of cheddar cheese
salt , pepper and sesame seeds

Roll out half cm thick,cut in shapes you like( I usually just cut then into 4 cm stripes)
bake till slightly brown, coll and keep in airtight container.

Dear Father in heaven,

 I have plenty to be thankful.

Thank You for the blessings You rain on me.
a beautiful family,
a good and loving husband,
a roof over my head,
ability to move and to love my loved ones
food on my table,
peace of mind to sleep at night

You kept my loved ones safe and You guide them in their every act
Thank You for being in my mouth when I talk, in my eyes when I see and my ears when I listen, in my heart when I decides; guiding me in every way.

Prayer

dear Father in heaven, holy is thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give me my daily bread,forgive my sins as i have forgiven others,distance me fr evil and all temptations.

I prayed and prayed. Yes this is another time I feel the emptiness and the loneliness. No I am not doubting You hearing me. I am not questioning Your will. Just that I  am tired ,tired like a dying man, For years I am in pain. For years I have been bloody. I have developed so many phobias that I am becoming a burden to others.I don't want to die a bloody or painful death but then it is still Your will not mine.

I pray and I ask, I plead and then I pray. I am not angry and I am not questioning. They don't seem to see the point. I am at peace but tired, very tired.Maybe I shouldn't but I can't help it.

All this I pray in Jesus mighty name. amen
