BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Desserts For Presentation? or Breakfast? Plain or Flavored?

Hi All, I was curious......

On Desserts? On a Bagel? On a spoon? (Yikes! I actually did that a few times!)

How about Plain or Fruit Swirls, even Strawberry Cream Cheese? MMmmmm..

How do you Cream Cheese?

That slice of cheesecake looks awfully good. I vote for that.
On a savory note, I like cream cheese and chives as a potato chip dip.

Oh I am sure you do!

Any way I can!

Having had Gastric Bypass surgery, cream cheese is almost a staple to me. For a several months after my surgery I would mix up this treat, because it was smooth, creamy, and very soothing. I just kept it in the fridge, and would dollop out a Tablespoon or two. And, I have so many diabetics in my family - they all love having a sugar-free dessert almost like cheesecake.

1 container (8 oz) whipped cream cheese
1 box sugar free instant chocolate pudding
1 Tablespoon instant espresso (or coffee)
1 1/2 Cups cold milk
1/2 container sugar-free whipped topping (like Cool-Whip)

Mix pudding mix & espresso powder with cold milk until smooth. Blend in cream cheese until well mixed. Gently fold in whipped topping. Put in frig for at least an hour, then enjoy!

sorry for the late late reply on this but never would of thought putting in espresso sounds really interesting.. what does it taste like

Basically like a really light and fluffy mocha cheesecake.

I actually can't have alot of cream cheese, because I'm lactose intolerant. But boy do I love a cheesecake!!!! Thanks for the awesome recipe.

I hear you on that one Sarah. Something to consider is ricotta or marscapone cheese. I seem to have less problems with it.. or even silken tofu. I have made a few cheesecakes with tofu ;0)

That does sound would be perfect for breakfast

Jase share your recipes im interested to see how cheesecakes taste with tofu. First with coffee now with tofu keeps getting better and better
