There's a whole section for single serving cheesecakes.
Funny story from ummm... holy crap almost 20 years ago...
My best friend in high school was a guy about a year older than me, and I was way too broke to get him a graduation present, so I offered to make him dinner. 9 layer lazagna, italian salad, homemade bread, and cheesecake. (I kinda liked him, even though he was an idiot.
) Anyway... so I'm prepping everything for dinner, and get down to the cheesecake. My parents didn't have a Kitchenaid, so I had to use the blender to cream everything together. No biggie! I dump the cream cheese, ricotta, eggs, lemon zest, yadayadayada into the blender, scraping things down with a wooden spoon, and the phone rings - dinner guest of honor calling to see if I was slaving away at his meal. So we chat for about 5 minutes (during which time I get totally distracted), I hang up the phone, and push the button on the blender.
Did I mention the wooded spoon was still IN the blender, and the lid wasn't on?
The blender screams like it's posessed, the spoon goes skyrocketing straight up to the ceiling, hits at an odd angle, and bounces back and forth between several cabinets on the way back to earth. I squeak out something unintelligible, and duck - convinced I just blew up the kitchen.
The cheesecake came out fine, the kitchen took forever to clean, and it made for interesting dinner conversation...
