Notes
Modifications:
Lemon Cheesecake - add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture
Chocolate Cheesecake - Use 1/2 cup of greek yogurt instead of 3/4. Then melt 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips and add 2 tablespoons of milk. Then fold the chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture
Notes:
The kids love this one because they don't like the graham cracker crust on traditional cheesecake. They also think it's pretty awesome that they can top it any way they like. I often split the batter in half and do half chocolate and half plain or lemon. We have put nuts, crushed cookies (think oreos!) or fresh fruit on top. You can put this out for a party and make a cheesecake bar, letting people top it any way they like!
