Hmmm, now I'm curious... What exaxtly do you do with these? You bake them and serve them in or serve it kind of cheesecake style or what, never heard of making any of these in a springform pan. I have the new and old PC one and haven't used the new yet, mainly because we're trying to eat healthy and not have so many desserts, so can't make a cheesecake until I can find a special occasion (I'm thinking Easter!). Anyway, would be cool to have other uses for it... please share! Thank you! And maybe share your recipe for 7 layer mexican dip (love it!)

(we like cheesecake and flan - the only cake we usually eat is when it comes from Costco!)
My husband loves the springform (ours is old). He makes Black Tie Mousse Cake like Olive Garden has- it's the best thing I've ever eaten. Which reminds me, he hasn't made one in a while. Now I want one!
