APPLEBEE’S STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE DESSERT
SHOOTER
MENU DESCRIPTION: “Classic cheesecake, graham cracker crumbs, strawberry
sauce, and whipped cream make this one to savor.”
Making cheesecake like this means you don’t need to crank up your oven and run it for
the hour or more that traditional cheesecake recipes require. Since the cheesecake
filling is layered into a small glass, you make it ahead of time on your stovetop, which
substantially shortens cooking and cooling times. When the filling is chilled, it’s
spooned into 6-ounce glasses on top of graham cracker crumbs, then thawed sliced
strawberries in syrup are spooned on top. After finishing off each dessert shooter with
a pile of whipped cream, you get to pass out some spoons, sit back, and enjoy a
roomful of “mmmm.”
