Sour Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes

Wed, 24 May 2006 22:30:53 -0400

I was cooking with a friend one day when we had a hankering for cheesecake. The only problem was that my favorite cheesecake recipe took all night to set. To fix the time problem, we came up with the genius idea of baking them in cupcake form so that they would cool faster. It turned out fabulously and the cupcakes make perfect individual servings to serve at parties or after dinner. -- posted by sofie #2

Mmmm Smooth & Creamy Coconut Cheesecake

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 16:52:30 -0400

Ok, fine, I am a cheesecake snob. The rich, dense, smooth & unctuous cheesecakes (no flour please) with shortbread crusts are my favorites (no greasy graham cracker). This cake developed for Easter dinner - I yearned for coconut but did not want to disrupt the smoooth texture of cheesecake - it's "sine qua non". Family insisted I post ASAP to keep recipe intact (even though cake is gone - before it could fully develop its flavor!). Recipe is truly easy - I believe this is much easier than flour-based cakes. Hardest thing is making the crust (which isn't that tough)! Please plan to make the day before serving to allow the cake to firm up & develop its flavor (best after 2 days but it won't last that long!) -- posted by Buster's friend

Strawberry Heaven

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 17:59:36 -0400

Kahlua White Russian Cheesecake

Thu, 10 May 2007 14:17:46 -0400

This recipe is courtesy of my boyfriend searching the internet for new desserts. The desserts he always wants me to fix for him. What he doesn't know is that I substituted Splenda for sugar & also used fat free sour cream & fat free cream cheese. He couldn't tell the difference. He needs to lose a few pounds around the middle, so what he doesn't know won't hurt him. The ingredients below are for the Cheesecake, the Caramel Nut Crust & the Kahlua Cherry Sauce. I hope you enjoy this cheesecake, my boyfriend Marvin says it is a keeper. There are alot of steps in this recipe but the end result is definitely worth every step. -- posted by litldarlin

Cinnamon and Coffee Cheesecake

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:28:47 -0400

From *A Gourmet Book of Tea and Coffee* by Lesley Mackley, this dessert is so easy-to-fix & so good that it almost has to be made & tasted to be believed. Cheesecakes are rich & I love them, but I find it annoying that they are usually too sweet, too heavy & too large. This cheesecake is less sweet, lighter in texture & more appropriately sized as it is baked in an 8-in rd spring-form cake tin. I modified the butter & sugar amts slightly & gave both US & metric measurements as the recipe did. (Time does not include cooling or chilling under refrigeration time) *Enjoy* ! -- posted by twissis

Mini Margarita Cheesecakes

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:27:26 -0400

These are the perfect appetizer for any Cinco de Mayo celebration. They're not difficult to make, but can be a bit time-consuming (about 45 minutes) to fill all the little scoop-style tortilla chips. But I think they're worth it. FOR A NON-ALCOHOL VERSION -- You can easily omit the alcohol, and these mini margarita cheesecake appetizers will still taste scrumptuous. ABOUT TOSTITO SCOOPS - These are Tostito's brand Scoops, which are "cup" shaped corn tortilla chips. A 10-ounce bag should be plenty for one batch of these mini cheesecakes (you won't use all of the scoops, but you need the whole bag so you can be assured of getting enough that are not broken). You shouldn't have any problem finding Tostito's Scoops in the chips/snacks aisle of most grocery stores. -- posted by NorthwestGal

Eti's Cheesecake (Practically No-Bake)

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 16:04:46 -0500

I got this recipe from Eti, who works in the HR department in my office, hence the name, Eti's Cheesecake. When she brought the recipe in for me to copy, it said Ayelet's Cheesecake on the paper, so she probably got it from Ayelet. I wonder what it says on Ayelet's copy. Eti brought this cake in for her birthday, and I fell in love with it. The cheese filling itself is no-bake, you just have to bake the crust, and also the reserved part of the crust to get the crumbs that you sprinkle on top. The cake is divine. I wish I had made it up..... -- posted by Mirj

Decadent 5 Minute Strawberry Cheesecake for 2- Reg or Sugar-Free

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 00:03:12 -0500

This is amazingly good! It's perfect for a special occasion (like Valentine's Day) or when you just have to have something sweet and yummy in a hurry. There's no baking or complicated stuff so you can literally put this on the table within a few minutes. I top mine with strawberry topping but you can use any flavor you like. It can be made with sugar, splenda or even stevia. You can used regular or reduced fat cream cheese. I use reduced and splenda. It will actually serve up to 4 adults if you really want to share it. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 02:27:11 -0400

No bake cheesecakes are called "rare cheese cake" in Japan. Rare cheesecakes are chilled and served with fresh fruits or fruit sauces. It's easy to make this dessert at home. Plan ahead -- Cheesecake requires 3 hours refrigeration time. -- posted by kittycatmom

Lemon-Blueberry Cheesecake Parfaits

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:55:33 -0400

Pastry Chef Maggie Leung's reimagined cheesecake is super-versatile: It's three components-the creamy, tangy cheesecake custard, the crunchy cornmeal shortbread and the fresh blueberry compote - are all fantastic together, but each can be used in a lots of other ways. My best-friend Judy decided she wanted to entertain outside this summer and she gave me the tedious (NOT!!) task of looking for a WOW dessert but understated and we both agree that this is the one. This is not the only dessert she is serving so we want to choose with much thought to her other desserts, as well. Food&Wine Magazine, August 2009 edition.Just between chilling and cooling time it takes about 6 hrs, that is if it is all done in one day - the shortbread can be made up to two days ahead of time & the assembled parfaits can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. ;) -- posted by Manami

This is a rich, creamy cheesecake pie and best of all it's quick and simple. It's from Hershey's Kitchens. I clipped it off the back of their Special Dark chocolate chips package. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Fried Cheesecake Bites (Aka the Ultimate Comfort Food)

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:15:14 -0400

A crispy but tender outside with a slightly warm and gooey citrus cheesecake filling. I serve these with blueberry syrup on the side for dipping. I created this recipe for a dinner party I was having and wanted a unique dessert. These are crowd friendly and totally comfort food! I would encourage you to even make your own cheesecake with my flavorings and then use that as your cheesecake base. I'm a food purist and would have loved to do that, but time was not on my side so I had to settle for a ready made cheesecake filling (which I made flavor enhancements to), and this is that recipe. Either way, you are sure to enjoy these amazing little balls of deliciousness! -- posted by Dans La Lune

For years I have looked for a recipe similer to that of the Sara Lee French Cheesecake with no sucess but finally was able to find one that came close so I changed it slightly and the result I think is absolutely delicous. This recipe can be made with regular ingredience for those not counting calories. I have made this pie many times with glowing reiviews and no one believes it is low calorie! -- posted by Chef #1384718

Lite Almond Cheesecake (Lower Carb)

I never did like artificial sweetners, but there comes a point in life where it's worth getting used to. This cheesecake is lower in carbs and calories with the use of Splenda. If you prefer a traditionally sweeter cheesecake see my recipe for recipe #381817. -- posted by gailanng

Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

Not your normal cheesecake bites with cream cheese and graham cracker crust. This is simple, sweet, and delicious! I use fresh strawberries and stuff them with a cream cheese and marshmallow puff mixture and top it off with crushed graham crackers. You will not disappoint! -- posted by Phammy
