    nice :) Is that 8 cupcakes?

    It's BS we don't get the best of the best cream cheese hey!

    TBH I had never bought cream cheese in my life until this recipe. It's pretty damn good just mixed with dark choc pb BTW :smile:

    Yep 8 cupcakes, and agreed, we dont get any of the really really low fat stuff, such a bugger, or stuff like the cool whip

    Was looking at the marshmallow cake recipe last night too, might give that a go!

    Where do you get dark choc PB? God that sounds awesome

    Oooooh, I can go there too, its not that far from me :D I forgot about them, wonder what other goodies I can get while I'm there, just have to stay away from tootsie rolls and red vines while I'm there, as I have zero self control when it comes to them!

    lucky! I have to order online. If they were close to me, I'd be stocking up on cherry coke zero.

    Sorry for off topic BTW.

    I'll post pics of my choc swirl ricotta style cheesecake tonight :)

    so I found some musk essense in the cupboard so I made a choc/musk cheesecake. Mixture is tops.

    Used 7" pan this time & rose very nicely. Sunk a little bit much thicker than last time.

    Cooked at 140C for about 40mins then down to 100C for half an hour or so.

    Out of the oven
    2012%2B-%2B1

    Macros for this one are


    1048 cals 147P/45C/34F

    Difference is because of ricotta instead of cream cheese & cottage cheese instead of ffgy.

    Ok so I did mine in an 8-9" pan, if came out of the oven looking tall but then sank whilst cooling :(

    Anyway heres a pic of a slice which comes out at 108kcals/14grams protein per serving (I cut it to 8 servings)

    IMAG0139.jpg

    I made a little berry/agave mix and sprinkled organic cocoa on top


    When I had the mix in the bowl I had to refrain myself from drinking it!!

    When mixing, did you mix it quite a bit? Maybe overbeaten? Usually that's the cause of the collapse.

    Sorry I didn't see that you replied. I avoided using any electric mixer to try and prevent over beating. Maybe my arm is stronger than I thought!!

    I'll try less mixing next time. I've also read that rubber spatulas are the best for mixing (I used a metal spoon). Or maybe thats just uber- anal!

    Picola - your pic actually looks really good. The even texture from top to bottom is nice in the picture. I doubt you overbeat it by hand, maybe just a fluke. Use the electric mixer next time and see what happens. The batter can withstand quite a beating.

    choc/musk cheesecake (with ricotta instead of cream cheese)
    2012%2B-%2B1

    Tasted great. That was with 1tbspn of musk essence. Probably half of that required I reckon. Also used electric mixer this time. It collapsed a bit even with cooking at low temp & leaving for ages at 100C. I think I'll go back to hand beating for next one.

    3 quarters of this cake GONE in one sitting :happy:

    Looks good! I've never heard of musk here in the states, but that's not to say it doesn't exist. Sounds like a spice?

    Thanks for the invite gp. The "fat girl" in me would make and eat one of these for EVERY meal. BUT since I'm working on everything in moderation, I will have to settle for making one and having a nice LARGE slice BEFORE the husband and 16 year old son get ahold of it.

    Like bubblegum...it's hard to explain but I'd say it would taste just as you have described. Haha

    I thought musk was only for fragrance!! Hopefully these sticks aren't made in the same way!

    I'm thinking of a way to make a cheesecake using coconut cream which is naturally quite sweet....It's runny though, any tips before I waste the ingredients?
  • gp79
    gp79 Posts: 1,799 Member
    If it's runny, replace the milk with your coconut creme.

    Thanks gp79. Do you think I could use 1 small can of coconut cream and one block of cheese adding gelatine to set?

    Have all the ingredients except protein powder! These all look good!

    I'm not sure about the gelatin. The consistency should be like a pudding cup, so not runny and not too thick. If you dip a spoon in the batter it should very slowly come off the spoon via gravity.
