golfadj Posted January 1, 2014 #151 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It's not NY cheesecake. It's Italian cheesecake and contains ricotta, which is much lighter than cream cheese.I like it :) But also something else other than ricotta that makes it not worth eating.

halos Posted January 1, 2014 #153 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) But also something else other than ricotta that makes it not worth eating. It's been over a year and a half since I sailed CCL but the last time I was in the steak house (twice on our last CCL cruise) I loved it.....brought it back to the cabin with me and each time, ate it for 3 days :eek: Edited January 1, 2014 by halos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just think if you do come back to CCL more cheesecake for you as you are more than welcome to my share. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwestbrook Posted January 1, 2014 #155 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) I agree that the buffet desserts look great but are tasteless. They need to add SUGAR!! And use butter, real eggs and good vanilla instead of shortening, fake eggs and fake vanilla. Makes a huge difference.

going2cruz Posted January 1, 2014 #157 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Has anybody else noticed this? They look great, but, are tasteless. Am I grabbing the wrong desserts from the buffet? Is this just a European (or somewhere else) thing? Maybe I eat way too many Milky Ways...lol. They've been sugarless for a decade now:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Hill Cruisers Posted January 1, 2014 #158 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) RCI serves nice cookies and eclairs in the Diamond/Concierge lounges in the afternoon. Yummy but ruins MDR appetite. On repositioning and B2B cruises, you gotta go for the fruit plate over the sugary confections lest you look like Frank Barone sitting down with unbuckled belt and pants.

miched Posted January 2, 2014 #159 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have not found any of the deserts on any cruise line to be worth eating for the calories involve as none of them taste as good as they look and Carnival has the worst. .👎💩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCruiseMe Posted January 2, 2014 #160 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It is tasty. I wish I knew how to make it because we loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamGoodyTwoShoes Posted January 2, 2014 #163 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I wish I knew how to make it because we loved it. Perhaps it is in one of the Carnival cookbooks or maybe John Heald posted a recipe. I prefer to let others do the cooking and cleaning so just book another Carnival cruise when in need of a serious cheesecake fix. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamGoodyTwoShoes Posted January 2, 2014 #164 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Perhaps they still have the recipe? http://cruiseforums.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1817501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oncruisecontrol Posted January 4, 2014 #165 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Agree 100%! I have no idea how they can make something look so good and be so tasteless! It baffles the mind! :eek: I think that they must be using cheap flavorings such as imitation vanilla instead of real vanilla extract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Esposito Posted January 4, 2014 #166 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think that they must be using cheap flavorings such as imitation vanilla instead of real vanilla extract. Probably using institutional recipes for the ease of multiplication and menu planning. Too bad this usually results in everything tasting the same as most of the recipes use a common base mixture. Think about this for a second. Sunday. Roasted turkey dinner Monday. Fresh turkey sandwiches Tuesday. Turkey pot pie Wednesday. Turkey noodle soup.
