Want to know my favorite secret of this recipe? I usually only plate up about 80% of the dish. The last bit of it goes into a small tupperware jar in the freezer. When our party is done and the kitchen is clean I sit down and enjoy this cheesecake “ice cream.” Try it next time, let me know what you think of it!
