I made the better than cheesecake last night. I think I followed the directions/ingredients exactly and now I have had it and it is inedible. My husband and his sister grossed out when trying it. What is going on? Help! I made it for a shower and now I will have nothing for dessert.

Hi Little Minnie....I'm new to the forum...just recently found out I had IBS. Your cheesecake story made me laugh out loud!!! Been there, done that, but I've NEVER tried a new recipe for a party...always try it out on myself first. Then THROW IT OUT, and keep a sense of humor. Just like all the Atkins low-carb goodies...YUK!! I will NEVER buy anything new or expensive without a free sample! Good luck. Lori

Seriously I really want to know what people think of this. We thought the tofu gave it such a chemical aftertaste that it was gaggy. I was able to eat a little with berries on but no one else could stand it. It made my husband freak out. I used Morinu silken tofu- not light and followed everything exactly. Please give comments. I really was disappointed!

Oh no! I almost made that last week but I don't have a springform pan. I made the chocolate cheesecake brownies (search the recipe index) instead and I thought they were very good. As far as making a last-minute dessert now, how about Rice Krispie Treats? I know it's not exactly glamourous, and not what you had in mind, but they are yummy and easy to make, and everyone loves them. There are some IBS-safe recipes for RKTs floating around here somewhere. You can always do some easy variations too, like adding dark chocolate chunks or something. Sorry you have to deal with this. -- Panda

Hi--when I need something safe and fast--I make Duncan Hines Angel Food cake--it comes out very light about 10 inches high!! I serve with berries, bananas or a mixture of fruits I can eat--and everyone loves it--It is only made with egg whites and sugar really- so most people should be able to tolerate it..good luck

but I wasn't looking for anything to make, rather I had been waiting for an excuse to make the cheesecake that was bragged up in the book. I knew I couldn't eat it all by myself so I was waiting until other people were around. I am going to try it again with soy cream cheese. Since it will be fattier then I will eat less but at least I won't have to throw it out. The thing I made the other day had 2.5 grams of fat per serving- a little more would be fine if it was tasty enough for others to eat.
