Woolworths has Philadelphia cream cheese 250g blocks at half price this week, includes both the original and light blocks but not the spreadable tubs. Good time to make cheesecakes!
There are plenty of recipes on the Philly website, including 181 for cheesecakes!
and with bacon
Cheese… Cake…
A cake of cheese?!
Not in my lifetime!
34.2% fat. Spam would be an ideal, lower fat alternative. WatchNerd would be uber proud.
Spamcake mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
A cheesecake made of toothpaste might make family Christmas gatherings worthwhile.
So they would foam …
Marcus Halberstram, is that you?
I would make this comment Silian Rail on bone if I could.
"and I stress the word… artist"
34.2% fat.
So what? Fat is not unhealthy and you will not feel like eating as much. Overeating is the single large dietary problem in Australia.
WatchNerd has been raising nutritional content awareness. Awareness is infectious. I'd personally whack a slab of philly on a toasted boiled bagel with dill and smoked salmon, but I'd be mindfully aware. I'd even plate up with capers. What the heck are capers, even, but anyway, they call.
Time for some cheesecake….
What kind you making? I say we post results lol
Choc chip baked cheesecake.. Christmas favourite.
I am prolly Gona do a choc with caramel swirl ;) croud favorite.
I'm making Margaret Fulton's chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. So delicious. It's better with peanut butter that has no salt or sugar added.
Will the Mayvers or Pic peanut butter from the half-price deals be ok for this? From taste, they seem quite natural, not very salty or sweet.
Looks yummy, I might give the recipe a go.
I haven't used Mayvers or Pic to be sure, are they quite runny? I've only ever used the Kraft/Bega crunchy no salt/sugar one bought during half price sales.
@bluesky: Ok let us know :) The cheesecake filling is not baked so it has to set, so I'm just not sure about a runnier peanut butter.
@moocher: Finally got around to trying the recipe last night. Happy to report it is a success! :-)
I used Mayver’s peanut butter (this is more runny than the PIC’s peanut butter).
After one hour in the fridge, when I cut a piece, it was rather like mousse consistency. (It looked so good, I did not want to wait any longer!). Was able to cut a piece, and it did not run.
Still, I thought perhaps it was too soft to be considered a cheesecake - therefore a bit of a failure, probably due to the runny peanut butter.
This morning, however, the cake has set properly, and now it is great.
I did consider taking out some milk at the time, afraid it was too liquid. But decided against it, which is a good thing. Otherwise I would never have known if the more runny peanut butter would have worked with the recipe as-is.
I did however cut down some sugar – not sure if this helped, hindered, or has no effect.
This is a very yummy cheesecake; also one of the richer ones I have tasted. Great for Christmas. Merry Christmas! :-) And thanks for posting recipe.
@bluesky: Good work! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the cheesecake, even though it took longer to set. Even with the normal peanut butter, it does take a few hours, and I like it better when it's properly cold and set.
I generally cut down in the sugar by a third when I bake (just the amount of sweetness that I like), but for this particular cake I find that the original amount of sugar is fine for my palate.
Have a great Christmas!
Try pressure cooked cheesecake. (If you have a pressure cooker. :) )
Wow never heard of that. You got a recipe?

Make sure to follow the directions exactly and it it comes out great every time. Especially leave al the ingredients out until room temp is reached. :)
White chocolate and cherry :)
I make two layers of cream cheese, one with melted dark chocolate and white chocolate chips and the other with melted white chocolate and dark chocolate chips. Finish with either a cherry jelly layer or a coulis.
dang… im hungry now
pics? :p
How long does it last? Can I buy some now and save it until Christmas?
The ones I bought today had mid May 2018 expiry.
Fantastic I'll stock up now then. My family isn't going to know what hit them!
Also, wrap cake with cling wrap, then foil and lace in ziplock bag. Then it will last in freezer for a month if you wanna make ahead of time. Put in fridge the day before you want to eat not the bench, it's cream cheese after all.
I have started freezing the philadelphia blocks. So far seems OK, haven't noticed much degradation in taste and texture, esp if baked into cheesecakes.
Yes it's super long life. They're also usually good for a couple of months after the expiry if the packet hasn't been opened.
can i use this to get gainz
This no-bake Nigella Lawson's Nutella Cheesecake (https://www.nigella.com/recipes/nutella-cheesecake) recipe is to die for.
Chopped toasted hazelnuts and icing sugar are both optional :)
Thanks, looks nice and easy :)
You're welcome.
The recipe is delicious! Tried and tested. Many times :)
Looks yummy. The cheesecake also. :)
Yay! Time to stock up for Japanese cheesecakes!
Anyone have any nice low carb receipes with Philadelphia? These blocks are looking delish, but have always had them with carb.
Just don't put a base on it?
3x softened philly blocks, 2 eggs, erithritol or xylitol to taste.
Flavour - lime (juice) and vanilla, or cacao powder for choc
Whiz up (stand mixer?) until reall smooth. Transfer to greased (e.g. spray coconut oil) pie dish/ramekins/cake tin. Cook at 140-150 deg for a while (e.g. 15 mins for small ramekins, 45 mins for full size). Should still have a wobble in the middle when it comes out of oven.
(Simple low carb base can be made with almond meal, melted butter, sweetener - mix, press into bottom of dish/es, precook until golden at 180 deg and cool before adding cheesecake mix).
Serve with whipped cream (and blueberries for the choc version)
Sounds delish, will try them out over the weekend! Thanks ^-^
Time to stock up. Great for those on a keto diet!
nice dilly for some philly
