I used a recipe from the Internet for cheese cake, but it didn't say to use vanilla..Should I worry on how...

Question

it will taste..?? no bake..ingrediants--(2 8 oz cream cheese,2 tsp lemon juice,1/3 c. sugar. graham cracker crust, brown sugar and butter for crust. 1 can cherrys...This is all it called for.

Answer 1

It should be alright. Some recipe's call for it and some don't. I don't think it will change the taste that dramatically.

Answer 2

the usual rule of thumb is: if a recipe doesn't call for an ingredient don't add it!
While the lemon juice is the flovoring in your recipe, if it makes you feel better, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the mixture...or, since it has a cherry topping, perhaps almond extract or amaretto could replace the lemon juice in the same quantity.

tip: try a recipe on yourself BEFORE company.. then you can make the adjustments you want before your comany tries it.

Answer 3

No mate dont worry,,it depends what flavour cheese cake you want,,sounds like you have a yummy lemon one ,,my favourite,,if you want a different flavour omit lemon juice and add about the same amount of your preferred flavouring,,chocolate,,coffee,,etc.
I use roughly the same recipe here in Oz,,and its great.

Answer 4

You have sugar an lemon juice and it should be fine; but if you like you can add a teaspoon of vanilla.
