Ok...I burned the cheesecake bites and had to throw them all out

Either my oven temp  is way off or I need to cut the time way down..


Oh well better luck next time!

Sorry to hear about your back Umpa!  I will be praying for you!  And, I agree with Doug on the no crust for cheesecake.  I like it better without too!

[umpa]

Thank you Paula! I agree with doug too about the crust.Unless your going to eat the cheesecake in one day ,the crust turns to mush.

Hi Umpa!  Is this the recipe which can also be used to make a chocolate cheesecake by just adding 2 Tbsp of unsweetened Cocoa?   Still planning my Christmas dinner and thinking I need a chocolate cheesecake. 

[umpa]

Yes Maddysmom.It will be a light chocolate taste.For dark choclate use unsweeteened bakers chocolate.

[Maddysmom]

Thank you SO much!  Can't wait to try this!

[umpa]

You are very welcome!

Hi Umpa....I am starting my cooking extravaganza in the morning!  ha ha  Ok....I bought the Bakers unsweetened chocolate.  About how many squares would you suggest for a normal sized cheesecake.  I want it really chocolaty!  Also wondering if I should adjust with more xylitol if I put more chocolate...??    

[umpa]

I use 2 squares.I don't like cheesecake real sweet though.But if you are gonna use the unsweetened bakers chocolate add 2 tablespoons  of xylitol per square.I made a chocolate/banana(extract) cheesecake yesterday it was very good!I also like chocolate mint

[Maddysmom]

Oh Umpa!!  The cheesecake turned out beautifully!  I cut a little sliver of it just to taste, and OMG!!!  I can't wait to share this with my family.   Thank you SO much for your help! 

[umpa]

Doug showed me the pictures and it was so pretty! You did a great job!

[Maddysmom]

Thank you!   Ok...now I totally understand why in a separate post I saw where you suggested that someone cut their dessert into serving sizes and freeze it.  OMG....I have ate cheesecake EVERYday!!  ha ha   I was a little nervous to get on the scales this morning, but to my happy surprise....I didn't even gain an ounce during Christmas!!  I ate like a queen, but everthing was FTS friendly!! Amazed.......      

[umpa]

I like to keep cheesecake in the freezer for un expected guests. It thaws quickly.Congrats on not gaining over Christmas !
