The other week I made applesauce, remember?

‘Twas delicious.
But what was more delicious was the fake cheese cake I made with it.
100 Calorie Fake Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fat free (organic) ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 packet stevia (or other sweetener)
- dash of salt
- cute mini food processor
Directions
- Blend everything in mini food processor. Top with more applesauce, if desired.
- EAT.
- (Repeat.)

Last step optional, but definitely enjoyable.
Okay, okay – it wasn’t as good as these…

Mini-cheesecakes from my coworker/friend who came over the other weekend. Plus oranges. The oranges negate the cheesecake, I am right? I’m right. I know.

Looks great, and super cute dish!!!
It’s been a long time since I had cheesecake (the real kind), but I think my favourite is coffee flavoured….or pumpkin. Yum!

Lovely! Too bad I can’t eat dairy, but I think my mom would love this. I’ll tell her!

OHMYGOSH ANY kind of cheese cake works for me but I love it topped with either lemon anything or cherries.
I die for ColdStone’s Cheesecake icecream and cherry pie filling.
nomomomomomomom
have you tried the applesauce in the crockpot yet???

@Cindy: No! I need to get some more apples.
January 24, 2011 at 2:34 pm
looks yum maggie! my take: blend in some pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice or maple syrup or extract for pumpkin pie cheesecake!
and then top with applesauce.

That sounds perfect, and how cute are mini-blenders?! I will whip mine out just to admire how tiny it is!
I think my favorite cheesecake is a family recipe that is VERY creamy and totally guilt-inducing but worth it!!!

No offense, but I’ll take the real ones from your co-workers please! lol God those look good!!

Question — what do you mean by “mini blender”? Like a Magic Bullet, or a stick blending thinger?

@Beth: Dang, should have said “mini food processor” – I’m sure a fullsize one would work as well. (Especially for making bigger batches…
)
