Cake Filling Question...please Help!
Decorating By chrikky Updated 22 Aug 2006 , 5:20pm by Karenelli
Is there a recipe out there for a cheescake filling? I'm making a cake for a friend and they love cheesecake and chocolate cake so I was wanting to make a chocolate cake with a cheesecake/cream cheese filling. Does anyone have anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!!! 
I like to fold cheesecake pudding into some buttercream for a quick, easy filling. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but it would work in a pinch! I think it's pretty good. I'm sure someone out there has what you're looking for! Good luck, it sounds delicious!

Someone posted this one today, which I pasted into my Word file. Sorry, but I can't give credit to the person because I didn't save the name. You can use this frosting to fill your cake.
Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
½ c. butter
16 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
½ c. cooled coffee
4 tsp. vanilla
6 c. powdered sugar
In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Drizzle in the melted chocolate and mix. Add the coffee and vanilla and mix. Add the sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix until well blended and fluffy.
I use a cream cheese that comes in a sleeve from a cake decorating store, & mix it with the buttercream. Everyone really likes it, & the sleeve is about $6. And the nice thing about it is, once it's on the cake, you don't have to refrigerate it. Good luck
Hi everyone! I'm the person who posted the frosting recipe lsawyer liked. It is extrememly tasty, but would not give you that cheesecake flavor you are looking for in a filling. It would however be a perfect icing for the entire cake after filling it with regular cheesecake. I have piped with it after giving it a few minutes in the frig to firm up.
When I was at the grocery this week, I came across tubs of ready made cheesecake filling by Philadelphia in the cream cheese section. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like it would be a good thing to use for a filling.
