Dom's Cheesecake

Re: Dom's Cheesecake

I prefer to let the cream cheese get to about room temperature before making mine. At room temperature it blends smoothly.

Not sure about it being to sweet. For me it is just right!

Re: Dom's Cheesecake

So this thing makes 12 servings with each having 2171 calories? I also found it to be too sweet and the cheese flavor so strong that it was almost bitter. I think it's the mix of cream cheese with splenda, because the same thing happened with another dessert. Does anyone know a way to tone down these flavors?

No, it's 2171 for the whole cheesecake. If you break it down into 10 servings, they are approximately 217calories per serving.

Oh my gosh this sounds yummy.. Has anyone ever made it without the Lemon Extract? Cause I have everything here except that and I could use a yummy dessert today..

Re: Dom's Cheesecake

sandy, purely by accident i've made it without the lemon extract. i just forgot to put it in.
it still is the best thing going. the lemon just adds that bit of tartness. it's fine without it.

dang! i'm so hungry for this now. lol
i couldn't be happier that tomorrow is payday and grocery day! cheesecake anyone?

Re: Dom's Cheesecake

a handy hint that helps so you don't overindulge is to put this in the individual cupcake liners or small bowls. that way, when you reach for one, you aren't dipping from one large bowl.

Re: Dom's Cheesecake

Yes like I said the calorie counts are for the ENTIRE recipe. And I bet it would still be yummy without the lemon extract!

I divided mine into ten servings and found that was the perfect amount for me!

Re: Dom's Cheesecake

Oh my gosh.. I am so happy.. I fixed this today and it was sooooooooooooooooooooooo good! I felt like I was cheating.. Definetly something I will fix again.. I like that it got thicker in the fridge

I fixed it without the Lemon Extract. So next family picnic I WILL have a dessert to eat
