Dressing Up a Plain NYC Cheesecake
You want something sweet and are staring at the cheesecakes in the grocer’s chilled case…do you go with the disgustingly sweet turtle cheesecake? Chocolate chocolate chocolate cheesecake? Or do you go with the little ol’ plain one? GO PLAIN AND GO HOME…and then dress it up a little bit! It’s not a salad, but by creating your own sweet, you’re saving calories.
In the above photo, I used one slice of cheesecake, a sprinkling of coconut, a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips and a strawberry* on the top. DEEEELISH!

*To create a fancy, fanned strawberry, use your egg slicer! Wash the strawberry, place into the egg slicer stem-side down, bottoms-up 😉 Slice through until you nearly touch the stem. Remove from egg slicer, fan the pieces apart and delicately garnish your dish.
