Okay, so its almost 6 o'clock the night before Thanksgiving and I'm supposed to be making a low carb cheese cake and I JUST realized I'm out of vanilla extract. I'm using the gelatine recipe that's on the box only substituting sugar for splenda. Does it NEED the vanilla extract? Is there anything I can substitute for it? (I have almond extract, lol). I really don't want to go back to the grocery store and stand in the long lines with all the last minute shoppers.

Re: Cheesecake HELP!!!!
Almond is VERY sweet ... it might not be the taste you're looking for. You might try using less than the amount of the vanilla.
You'll know tomorrow when you eat it!J.

Re: Cheesecake HELP!!!!
Hey Barb !! I feel your pain, I hate it when I forget an ingredient. I have a little quick store 18 miles down the road, and the next is 45 miles.
I haven't tried making cheesecake with other than vanilla, but have thought about trying lemon extract, orange extract, etc just to see. If you have some extra creeam cheese, how about taste testing a tablespoon with a drop of extract and a drop of sweetner to make sure you like the flavor? Let us know how it turns out. I bet the almond would be delicious.
