Do you love cheesecake but don't want to go through all the steps to make one? This is a quick, easy and delicious alternative to serving an entire cheesecake... and it looks so pretty!
You could do a number of different things with this clever dessert. You could top it with graham cracker crumbs, a Vanilla Wafer, Shortbread or Gingersnap cookie (in lieu of crust.. .which honestly, you won't 'miss). You could top it with whipped cream and/or any type of berry. How about a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce? The possibilities are endless!

ReplyDeleteYears ago we did a recipe comparison one week on several cheesecake recipes...oh boy was that fun. We wrote ourselves little notes...reduce the sugar a little and this one is better than that one...night after night we cooked up the energy to bake and ate them..it is scary even thinking about it now. This one looks easy and harmless...
