Other Options

  • Now you know, you can always change up the cake with whatever you have handy, if you want. You could use white pound, yellow, angel food or even chocolate cake.  
  • Want more richness?  For an added layer of drizzles of chocolate, caramel or strawberry sauce on top and in between layers.
  • For the cake, bake in a 9×13 pan or 2 8″ rounds.
  • To get pretty swirls, you can pipe the cheesecake whipped cream using a pastry bag for the elegant look or just spoon it on for the rustic look.  Either way it will taste the same, right? 
  • Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or lemon juice to the cheesecake whipped cream for some extra burst of flavor.
  • For a little more creaminess, add ¼ cup of milk to the cheesecake mixture.

  2. Hey lovly recipe! I want to make it for a friend. Do i whip the whipping cream first and then add it ? Just asking to make sure ? thanks

  3. How many servings does the recipe make? In the body of the recipe it says 4-6 dessert glasses but at the end of the recipe it states that it yields 12-14 servings. Which is it: 4-6 or 12-14?

  4. Gorgeous desserts! I actually made some very much like this on Sunday for my daughter’ baptism luncheon. But mine only had cheesecake on the top. After I made them, I regretted that I didn’t put a scoop deeper down into the glasses – just like you did! Thanks for sharing! —- Amy @ http://thegiftedgabber.com

  5. Yum! I love simple desserts like this. It looks like you’ve spent a long time making it and tastes great. Thanks for sharing.
