My sister forgot to put sugar in the cheesecake. Is there any way to salvage it?
Thanks for your great suggestions....My family will be coming over for leftovers and I will keep you posted how we salvaged it!! Happy (day after) Thanksgiving!

You could try to make parfaits. Scrape out the filling and put into the blender with a little milk and sugar. Blend it up until smooth. Then break up the crust and layer with the filling in glasses. You could also add a layer of fruit and whipped cream. Yummy!
I had to scrape my pies out of their crusts because I forgot to add the eggs. We laughed (hubby and I)...... cheescake without sugar seems like it could just be topped with some cherry pie filling and probably be just fine, or some carmel topping....
Swirl a syrup on top of each serving
We recently had chocolate ice cream that the chef forgot to put the sugar in. It wasn't half bad. Not sweet, but very refreshing. I rather liked it.
Definitely add a sweet fruit topping or chocolate sauce or caramel sauce of your choice. And then tell everyone it was planned that way. You learned it here on mamapedia about tips to cut back on sugar.
If it already baked, and came out well, just put a syrup on it, or honey, or a fruit topping. You may find it's tasty without it!
I doubt it. Sugar is a pretty important part of any baking. The only thing would be if it's not baked already, you could just add it in. If it's already been baked, just make a new one.
My husband did the same thing with a pumpkin pie. For your cheesecake the fruit toping sounds good. We are going to try drizzling honey over ours. It doesn't taste bad really, just like something is missing but at first you don't know what.
I have no idea if this will work, but the only think I can think of is to scrape the cake from the crust into a bowl and pop it in the microwave until it is soft. Add the sugar and pour it into a new crust or I make a new crust if need be. Since it has already been cooked, I think you could pop it in the oven for just a few minutes to try and get it back to it's consistency and then refrigerate. But I am not too sure it will help, but at least she will feel like she tried!!!
I'm not sure about that one but I would try having some with plenty of pie filling over it and see if that helps. Also try sprinkling Confectioners sugar over the top and then put pineapple or pie filling on top.
