Variations
If you want to try variations, you can make a chocolate peanut better version by replacing the vanilla with ½ cup of coco poser and ½ cup of peanut butter. The process is the same.
For a strawberry cheesecake version, keep the vanilla and add 1 cup of pureed strawberries and 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs. It’s as simple as that! Enjoy experimenting with other flavor combinations, as well.
