Mini Cheesecakes

Most cheesecakes range from two pounds to a whopping four pounds. So, what happens if there are just two of you eating the cheesecake? Unless you consume it daily for almost a week it will spoil. That’s why those who like variety should consider another alternative… mini cheesecakes. Mini cheesecakes are delicious just like larger cheesecakes except their presentation is radically different. Instead of being packaged as a large cake that is nearly impossible for a couple to eat in a few sittings, mini cheesecakes are designed in the form of bite size snack cakes.
The larger version is a mini cheesecake sampler. Samplers are 1 pound, so they are still larger, but they are designed to be eaten by 1 or 2 people at a time. And, since they significantly smaller than traditional cheesecakes, they can be eaten at just one sitting or frozen for a later date.
Mini cheesecake samplers are also helpful for people who like variety in their dessert. With a sampler, you’ll get chocolate cheesecake, New York style cheesecake, fruit topping cheesecake and others.
But it doesn’t end there, as mini cheesecakes can get even smaller. Consider mini cheesecakes that are the size of tiny cupcakes. Known as ‘bite-sized’ cheesecakes, these desserts offer a mouthful of decadence without the annoyances of their larger counterparts. And, unlike mini cheesecake samplers, bite-sized cheesecakes can be eaten as a continuous snack, similar to how people consume popcorn or potato chips. So, for movie lovers, bite-sized cheesecakes offer an excellent snacking alternative for the entire movie.
Well, while you shouldn’t indulge like that every day, in terms of health mini cheesecake is actually better than popcorn. This is because it is high in calcium and protein, an excellent combination for Atkins dieters looking to feel full even after an indulgence. Also, keep in mind there are even healthier alternatives among mini cheesecakes. For example, low carb samplers eliminate the sugar normally used in traditional cheesecakes. There’s also the option of getting mini cheesecakes made of soy. Granted, neither option gives you free reign to indulge every hour of the day, (since they still are high in calories), but you can eat a little bit more without feeling guilty.

Cheesecake Samplers For The Undecided

When you are planning a dinner party, and would like to include cheesecake as a dessert but not sure which flavor include a cheesecake sampler in your plans. If you are not sure about flavor choices your choice with a sampler will be seen in the reaction of your guests! No matter what style or theme of party you are planning, you want all of your guests to be delighted with your choice of dessert. Rather than trying to second-guess everyone’s preferences, you will be leaving nothing to chance when you order a cheesecake sampler. Each and every one of your guests will find something he or she loves and will be able to share!

A cheesecake sampler is also ideal for your own family dining or late night dessert. As each cake offers a variety of different flavors, you will never have the worry that someone will feel left out since several preferences are accounted for in the one cake.

A mini cheesecake sampler is also an ideal gift idea. While these cakes cater to everyone’s individual preferences, they are also the gift-of-choice when you are unsure of what your recipient likes the most. No matter which flavors of cheesecake your recipient happens to prefer, when you give a cheesecake sampler you can be confident that he will receive the flavors they like the most.

Organic Cheesecakes

Organic what is the process? Why should I care about an organic when it comes to my cheesecake? Organic certification is a process for producers of organic foods and other organic products. Businesses that are involved in food production can be certified, yes including the producers of cheesecakes. Organic requirements differ from country to country, and will involve a set of production standards for processing, packaging, storing and shipping. Organic certification is responding to an increasing worldwide demand for organic foods. Its mission is to assure quality, prevent fraud and to promote commerce. For organic producers, certification identifies suppliers of products approved for use in certified operations. For the end consumers, "certified organic" serves as your product assurance, similar to "low fat", "100% whole wheat", or "no artificial preservatives" added. So now that you are armed with the basics why not enjoy a organic cheesecake for dessert.

Cheesecakes DIY

Good Old Fashion Cheesecake

This is what you are going to need to make your cheesecakes:

6 tablespoons of sugar
26 (give or take) square (never seen a round one) graham crackers crushed fine (a steam roller works great).
1 stick of butter-melted.

This is your filling:

1.5 pounds – (3) 8 ounce Philly cream cheese
1.5 cups of sugar
4 large eggs, slightly beaten (don’t beat them up too bad)
3 teaspoons of vanilla
1.5 tablespoons of sifted flour
1/8 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of melted butter
3 teaspoons of lemon juice
1 cup of whipping cream

Engineering the crust:
Mix the sugar, graham crackers, butter and press in a 10 inch spring form pan. Chill the ingredients… not you ….or you can chill too.

Your award winning filling:
Cream the Philly cream cheese (huh?) with the sugar and mix for 5 – 10 minutes. Add rest of ingredients; (less the whipping cream) mix well.
Beat at medium speed to 15 – 30 minutes.
Now comes the whipping cream ….blend it in well.
Place aluminum foil under a pan on the rack (the rack? is this a dungeon?) kidding …try an oven.
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 300 degrees. Leave in the oven with the door open for a short time.
Cool to room temperature (unless you are living in a 350 degree room)
Store in refrigerator overnight (this will free it up from the pan much easier)
This can be frozen for later use.
Use your favorite fruit topping or serve as is.

Cheesecakes Just The Facts Please

The next time you are munching on a delicious piece of cheesecake....oh say chocolate cheesecake ponder this..
Cheesecake is believed to have originated in ancient Greece. Cheese making can be traced back as far as 2,000 B.C. This was supported through the findings of Anthropologists where cheese molds have been uncovered dating back to this time period. Historical Roman writings of cheese ‘cakes’ appeared around 200 BCE. It is believed that these would be quite similar to what we know today as modern cheesecakes. The Romans then spread cheesecake from Greece to across Europe. Centuries later cheesecake appeared in America, the recipes brought over by immigrants.
So there you have it a tidbit of history and an ice breaker for those awkward silent moments.
That and a strong cup of espresso and you could be chatting up the person across the table from you.....so you need more facts? Okay...

776 BC Olympics in Greece – Historians believe that cheesecake was served to athletes at these First Olympic Games .
Cream Cheese In 1872, cream cheese was invented by American dairymen, William Lawrence of Chester, N.Y., who accidentally developed a method of producing cream cheese while trying to reproduce a French cheese. This dairymen -William Lawrence, distributed his brand in foil wrappers from 1880 under the name of the Empire Company.
Pasteurized cheese - was invented by James L. Kraft in 1912, and that lead to the development of pasteurized Philadelphia Brand cream cheese, it is now the most popular cheese used for making cheesecake today.
I know who cares right? It is all about the taste and texture right?
