I accidentally mis-read the recipe I was following to make my cheesecake and added a cup and a half of Splenda instead of only 1 cup. Consequently the cake tastes WAY too sweet. Any suggestions as to what I could do to cut the sweetness? I don't want to toss it, its still very nice and creamy, just a bit too sweet for my taste.

Re: Goofed and now cheesecake is too sweet
Once it's in, you can't take it out. The only thing I can think of is to eat it with something slightly sour or bitter or salty, in order to fool your taste buds.
Or, you can convert it into an ice cream: mix up a custard base (eggs cooked with heavy cream until it light coats the back of a spoon) and add the cake to the custard base and freeze it.~Megs~

Re: Goofed and now cheesecake is too sweet
Hi,
How about whipping up some heavy cream without any added sweetener and then putting it between layers of cheese cake?

Re: Goofed and now cheesecake is too sweet
Maybe you could add the oversweet cake to an equally undersweetened 2nd batch recipe, mix them and have 2 new cakes just right?~Susan

A great solutionOriginally posted by Neecy View Post
Another would be to take it to work and put it out for others to eat!Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
