......i didnt know there was such a thing as halal cheese...but im sure there are places where one could find them

Make sure that any cheese that you buy says "Suitable for vegetarians", or has a halal certified stamp from a recognised body, or equivalent, on the product label. If it doesn't have any of those, it may not be halal, and should be avoided. Commercially, the milk used for cheese tends to be split into curds (the cheese) and whey (the left over liquid) using rennet, an enzyme from calves stomachs, and these calves are most often not halal slaughtered. Nowadays though, quite a few companies are using other non-animal methods of splitting the milk, and they label their cheese as "suitable for vegetarians."

Just always make sure to read the label before you buy.

Nice thread by the way.

1. In a 12 oz coffee mug, add water, oil and vanilla. Whisk well.
2. Add cocoa powder, whisk well. Add sugar, whisk well. Add flour, whisk well.
3. Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. Center should be slightly molten. Careful not to overcook.

Tips:
You can top it with whatever you like whipped cream with fresh strawberries and choc. syrup is really great with this.
Its really yummy if you add a pinch of instant coffe to the recipe as well.
If you dont have vanilla flavoring add mint or orange flavoring instead.
Sorry for not posting a pic will do so next time I make it.
