You Can Have Your Cheesecake and Eat it Too
Most people just hear the word cheesecake and think of a fattening, decadent, indulgent dessert.
It really doesn't have to be because there are many healthy variations available.
In addition to regular baked and no bake varieties, there are low fat and low carb versions, recipes for diabetics, and even vegan recipes.
There is no reason to have to give up this popular and well known treat.
If you are on a special diet for whatever reason, you can easily take one of your favorite recipes and trim it down by substituting ingredients.
Instead of regular cream cheese, use low fat or even no fat.
Instead of using regular sugar, you can use Slenda or one of the other sugar substitutes.
Another way to cut down on fat and calories is to make a no crust cheesecake...
all the great taste only better for you.
There are many delicious ways to dress up cheesecakes.
You can use fresh fruit, nuts, glazes, special sour cream toppings or leave it plain to experience all of the natural goodness.
There are mini cheesecakes, cheesecake bars and almost any flavor combination you can imagine.
Imagine the delight at your next potluck dinner at church when you show up toting one of your creations.
It doesn't matter whether it is gourmet or plain, baked or no bake...
I bet you will have a hit on your hands.
You might even want to take along copies of the recipe for anyone that asks for it! If you want one of those decadent indulgences and fat and calories are not an issue, you can opt for a wonderful gourmet recipe.
With gourmet recipes, sky is the limit as far as ingredients that are incorporated into them.
If you want to impress family, friends or co-workers, there is no better way than to produce one of these delicious cheesecake for your next dinner gathering.
In addition to the sweet confections that have been mentioned, another twist on a cheesecake is the savory version.
This type of cheesecake can be served as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvre at your next party and are usually served either warm or at room temperature.
You can serve them with crackers, tortilla chips or fancy breads.
Imagine a yummy cheesecake as an appetizer before moving on to the dessert version! When you purchase a cheesecake in a grocery store or as a dessert in a restaurant, it can be a little on the expensive side.
When you buy the ingredients and bake your own at home, there is quite a substantial savings.
In addition to that, you can try all the varieties that are normally not found in restaurants.
Many times they confine themselves to serving the same old standbys such as New York Style Cheesecake or maybe a White Chocolate Raspberry.
You know you can be more creative than that.
Plainly, cheesecakes can be a very versatile part of your daily diet.
There are endless ways to incorporate them into almost any meal.
You are only limited by your individual tastes and desire to partake of some excellent cheesecakes that can be created to suit any occasion.
