Not a bad idea flavor-wise...but I need to stop trying to take shortcuts when I bake.
It's not a good idea to try and make a cheesecake in a hurry. But I tried anyway. I am fairly certain that this cheesecake would have been perfect if I had taken my time and done it correctly: as in, let the cream cheese get to room temperature before I messed with it.
Starting with cold cream cheese means that even though I used a handheld mixer instead of the fork I usually use for mixing, I still ended up with lumps. And lumpy cheesecake is...strange. But the flavor was good.
