I'm not sure if you noticed but I titled this "recipe flop." I'm sure that is a little dramatic but hey, what can I say? Anyway, I wasn't a big fan of this recipe but Mike really liked it so that is why I decided to post it. For me the cheesecake part was not creamy enough for me and the flavor just didn't seem smooth. Who knows?
Anyway, the reason that I chose this recipe this week was to make something that was already portioned out for us. You know the whole portion control is one of the best way to control your weight? I'm not sure if they included cheesecake in this equation but I figured it couldn't hurt to try.
With that being said, make sure to check out Shelley's Sweet Friday recipe.
Have a good weekend!
