I love these, though I find the recipe as written to be WAY too sweet. I use half the sweetener and think they're perfect. ^_^ My DH loves them this way, too, especially with 1/4 cup of Torani's SF Caramel being the only sweetener.

I haven't made any in a while but I plan on making a batch this weekend. I will try to limit myself to only 1 a day. Or maybe 2

.

Laura in Arizona · 06-20-2008, 03:14 PM

This must be a good recipe...still kicking after 2 years. I will try this weekend. Thanks.

2 8oz. pks. philadelphia cream cheese
1/2 cup sweetener (I use spenda)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Soften cream cheese about 40 seconds in microwave. Add other ingredients. Beat with mixer till smooth. Pour into 12 muffin pans lined with the papers. Bake at 350 for 20 min.

I have learned so much on this site. Thanks you guys!! Joan

Girl I dont know if u came up with this yourself or found it somewhere, but it is the BOMB....I could eat all of them they r so good....

darlingnikki · 06-23-2008, 04:40 PM

I made a black-forest version:

2pkg creamcheese
2 eggs
vanilla
pkg SF cherry jello
dollop of choc davinci

bake as per directions and top with choc whip cream!

flpooh19701 · 07-11-2008, 05:50 PM

Can someone please clarify for me the carb count on this? I have figured it several times and get 3.83 carbs each for a batch of 12. I'm counting it as:
eggs 2
cream cheese 32
splenda granulated 12
I divide that between 12 and get 3.83.. is that correct? I've seen previous posts that say much lower. I just want to be able to account for every carb.. THANK YOU
Trisan

KOO · 07-11-2008, 08:28 PM

I just made a half batch (they are in the oven now)
I am using Philadelphia Creamcheese and it is only l carb per oz., if you want to lower your carb count try this brand for 8 carbs per block instead of 16.

nessyrae · 07-12-2008, 02:13 AM

Definately use a different cream cheese. They do have some that are only 1 carb per an oz, like Philly, which is great when so much cream cheese is being used. It save a lot of carbs!

I thought eggs didnt have any carbs til I looked and I have learned something today. I normally do just use egg whites and they only have a trace....

Yes, use a different cream cheese. Kraft is 1 carb per 2 oz.

flpooh19701 · 07-13-2008, 06:12 AM

Thank you for your replies.. I had no idea that Kraft had less carbs. I was using the wal mart brand.. THANK YOU..

Yolande · 07-14-2008, 01:18 PM

I made mine with orange instead of vanilla, plus a dash of orange davinci syrup.

Sandi76 · 07-26-2008, 03:21 PM

Ok got these puppies in the oven! I'm looking forward to them.

I wish I had read the whole thread, but it's twenty pages, and I think I made my too sweet! Next time I'll use 1/4 cup french vanilla SF davincis.

sazzie · 08-05-2008, 09:47 PM

A friend recommended that I visit this thread, and so glad I did.

Just the age and number of posts of this thread is indicative of the success of these muffins. Didn't read all 20 pages, but most of them, and this is definitely, one of the best recipes I've come across.

I made my first batch last night, and my second today. They are awesome!!

Definitely a keeper, and thanks to the OP!!

Wine2 · 08-07-2008, 11:19 AM

Sorry if this has been asked/discussed already, but has anyone tried pouring this into a baking pan instead of muffin cups? I don't like muffin cups usually because the stuff sticks to the cup liners and would rather cut and put a piece on a plate. Would it be the same baking time? Thanks in advance!

Yolande · 08-07-2008, 02:22 PM

I cook mine on parchment paper and remove them with a spatula.

What size pan do you use with the parchment paper? Thanks, Yolande!

I use cupcake liners.

Does the job

DEEDLYNN · 08-07-2008, 07:43 PM

I made these things tonight and they ROCK.

My batter was really thin.....but, I didn't get the "hole" in the center that everyone is talking about.

I think I "microwaved" my cream cheese too long and then used the magic bullet to blend it. Ended up with more of a thin cake batter and as a result, 1/2 the recipe made 8 cheesecake muffins, rather than 6.

I used:

1- 8oz block of cream cheese
1 egg
1/3 c. SF Davinici Blueberry syrup
1/4 t. of almond extract.

They were simply heaven.

A new staple for my house. The trick will be not overeating them. But...better to overeat them than to eat any Hostess H$*#(*%(*@#$(* HO's. LOL.

Yes, I'm making a batch today, too, that'll be good for the entire week. They're yummy.

hummingbird11 · 09-07-2008, 10:58 AM

Oh they were fabulous! I made 6 for me/DH - there are 2 left.

I used Whey Low to sweeten and topped with fresh organic blueberries!

you could also add Peanut Putter! (before baking) - YUM!

anyone tried using silicone baking cups?
