Cheesecake Reincarnation

Question

I significantly over-baked my cheesecake today (I forgot to check the temp extra early to compensate for the fact that there was a baking stone in the oven). Now I'm trying to decide if it is possible or worth pursuing trying to reincarnate the cheesecake into something else. My first idea is to mix it with whipped cream to make a filling to pipe into lace cookie trumpets/cones. I'd appreciate any insights into turning a cheesecake into a cheesecake filling or any other ideas of how to repurpose an over-baked cheesecake.

Answer 1

Add it in pieces to an ice cream after it is done freezing in the ice cream maker but before putting it in the freezer to harden.

Answer 2

Slice off the dark layer at the top and check the texture of the cheesecake beneath. That should give you an idea of what you can do to salvage the filling.
