It's Science Thursday!

Today's experiment:
Mini sugar-free cheesecakes!

Four mini-cheesecakes (and six muffin tins filled with leftover cheesecake stuff) are in the oven. I have no idea how long to bake them! I have no idea how Splenda bakes! I have no idea if you can make cheesecakes in muffin tins! That's why it's SCIENCE!!

If they're good, I'll post the recipes later. I have: plain ol' cheesecake, raspberry cheesecake, irish cream and chocolate cheesecake, and spice cheesecake. I have already failed at the sugar-free part because there's Chambord in the raspberry one, and irish cream and chocolate in the irish cream and chocolate one. They're still a lot less sugarish than I would normally make them, though, so if they come out edible, I'm counting it as a win.

CAKESPERIMENTATION!

EDIT: The spice one is pretty good. The texture is funny, though -- sugar assists in the blending process, so the batter never did get entirely smooth. Tastes okay, though. Might try it in the blender next time.

Try one and see -- there are more 'samples' in the fridge (in muffin cups). :)

Forgive my ignorance, but when I hear "muffin cups" I think paper cups, and all I see in the fridge are metal...erm...thingys.

Hrm... when I left this morning, there were 4 paper muffin cups in a ziploc bag, which had 1 spice, 1 raspberry, and 2 irish cream cheesecakelets in it.

Ah! There they are.

*tries the one with the pecan in it*

Tasty! Although I see what you mean, the texture is kinda....off. Reminds me of something else, but damn if I can remember what.

Custard is my running theory. Which, really, is okay by me, because I don't hate a baked custard. But it's really not cheesecake.

Next time, blender. And more salt.

The metal thingies are mini-springform pans. :)
