Desert - Strawberry Cheesecake

Who in their right mind would have through of making a cheesecake in a toasted sandwich maker? I would not have even considered it, if not for finding a recipe in my toasted sandwich maker user manual.

I can imagine you sitting there, reading this and trying to fathom what in the world this toastie would taste like. It tastes like warm cheesecake mix. It is warm and gooey.

This is a good toastie, a very good toastie.  Definitely number two in my list of all time good desert toasteis. Whilst is not as good as white chocolate, ricotta and raspberry, it is a close contender.
