OK, so fried cheesecake may not exactly be diet food, but they’re still bite-size pieces of heaven! If you’re in a sharing mood, then throw a party and distribute the calories among your friends.
They are great stacked in threes on a platter and dusted with powdered sugar. Another fun idea is making cheesecake pops if you have a stand and some sticks. To really want to elevate this dessert, drizzle with some sauces as well!
