What's the Toughest Branch in Electronics?

I'm working on a chilled cheesecake idea. Served almost like an ice cream dish. I buy bricks of creamcheese in the refrigerated (chilled) section of stores. However, I freeze the creamcheese. The problem is frozen creamcheese becomes too hard to break with a fork. I have bent forks chipping at failed frozen cheamcheese recipes.

My idea is to somehow get bubbles in the cheamcheese so that it's easier to break with a fork. The bubbles also bulk up the cheamcheese for more volume and less mass.. (Good for people watching their weight.)

I'd like to get the creamcheese looking like volcanic rock.

Hopefully I don't need a vacuum chamber.. :P D from BC

Oh, dear! Have you ever made (or eaten) a real cheesecake?

Damn, that does sound like a fun job. Presuming that you have enough time left, do you get to take courses without irrelevant hassles?

I'm not sure.. Seems like everytime I try out a new restaurant the cheesecake is different.

Ok.. maybe what I'm making shouldn't be called a cheesecake but I don't know what else to call it. I'm working on a recipe idea with lots of creamcheese at low temperatures.. freezecheesecake? A spinoff idea I have to make a recipe with icecream and creamcheese. Maybe a layer of mint ice cream with chocolate+creamcheese.

Which is why I called my recipe Cheesecake Mousse. It had lots of bubbles, so definitely was not a cheesecake... 8-)

PS: I also make a Dark Chocolate Cheesecake that can drive a chocolohic wild! But, my wife doesn't like it... :-(

Well, I make cheesecake icecream just by adding cream cheese to my standard icecream recipe...

Sounds good!

Getting paid.

The bubbles (at least in good cheesecake) come from the whipped eggwhites.

Everyone has their own definition of "cheesecake". My wife's is Alton Brown's (Good Eats/Food Network) recipe which is pretty much the classic New York style. No egg whites.

I think some cheesecake recipes need to be cooked.. If the New York style has no egg whites, does that mean it's a no=cook cheesecake?

Cooked in a water bath in the oven.

I looked it up... it does have eggs in it, but not just whites...
