Philadelphia’s Ready-to-Eat Cheesecake Filling: Sweet and Simple
My wife loves to make plans for get-togethers. Whether we are getting our home ready for guests to visit, or whether we are getting ready to go visit the homes of our friends, we are always getting ready to spend time with those we care about. We are so busy, in fact, that we always have little time to whip up desserts or appetizers for our guests when they visit. We usually end up offerring whatever happens to be sitting on our pantry shelves.
You can see why Philadelphia’s Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling appealled to me when I saw it in the store. Although cheesecake is admittedly an indulgence, I realized that this filling was quick and simple to prepare, relatively inexpensive, and would have a restaraunt-quality taste when I served it to my guests.
Quick and Simple
Cheesecake has always seemed to me to be an dessert that is suited for slightly elegant occasions. It is not a dessert that is best experienced in a drive-thru envrionment; rather, it is in its natural habitat when it is at the center of a dining room table resting on top of a polished silver platter above a snow-white doily. For this very reason, I have always assumed that nothing less than the sophisticated finesse of a gourmet chef is capable of producing a cheescake that is worth presenting to guests.
I was wrong. Cheesecake is a very simple dessert to make, whether you choose to use this cheesecake filling or make it from scratch. However, if you use Philadelphia’s Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling, it is unbelievably simple to prepare. All you need is graham cracker crumbs and a big spoon.
I bought a box of graham crackers in a box for a dollar, then crushed 5 or so crackers into crumbs. Next, I added butter to them in a glass pan, and heated the crumbs in the microwave for a minute. When I pulled the pan out of the microwave, I moistened all of the crumbs with the butter and spread them across the bottom of the pan. Next, I took the Philadelphia’s Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling out of the refrigerator, and with a big spoon I plopped the whole container of filling into the glass pan, and spread it into place. Finally, I topped the whole thing with crumbs from another graham cracker and fresh strawberries.
Inexpensive, & Comes in Different Flavors
Comparatively-speaking, Philadelphia’s Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling is an inexpensive dessert option. What you are buying is a dessert that takes about 5 minutes to prepare, which will taste as fresh as if it had been made in a top quality restaraunt kitchen. Its suggested retail price is $3.99; however, with coupons or rebates, it will sell for an even more reasonable price.
It comes not only in the traditional cheesecake flavor, but also in a delectable chocolate version.
Perk it Up
Other than to top my cheesecake with graham cracker crumbs or strawberries, I am perfectly pleased with cheescake filling fresh from the container. Still, I am intrigued whenever somebody puts a fresh twist on cheescake by adding esoteric toppings to it, such as chocolate morsels or oreo crumbles. This is very simple to do when you’re using Philadelphia’s Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling since the filling itself literally takes only 20 seconds to spread into the pan. If you try out extra toppings, you can modify the flavor of the filling itself to even better accentuate the flavor of your dinner.
If you’re like me and my wife, we always need more containers in the kitchen. After a meal, we’re always searching around for something to put our leftovers in. So, of course, I’m very pleased with the fact that Philadelphia’s Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling is sold in a very durable plastic container, the type that Kool Whip uses. As soon as I’m finished preparing our dessert it, we’re able to store leftover salsa in the container.
All in all, I was very impressed with the novelty of Philadelphia’s Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling. It’s a real time-saver and it is something that everybody enjoyed when we served it.
