Hello group, I would like to do a good cheese cake (I've never done it). On
Google there are millions of recipes, but I don't know which is the better. They say that English CK is different from the American one, is it true? BTW I would like a traditional, tried, and very good recipe (English or American or both version). Can you help me? Is it difficult to make? TIA Pandora |

There are different styles of cheesecake. New York Cheesecake uses
cream cheese, and it's thick, rich, and very smooth. Italian sylte uses ricotta and is much lighter. What's your goal? I have a great recipe for lemon cheesecake bars that I like to make instead of a springform-pan-round cheesecake. Maybe cuz I don't own a springform pan and i can make it in a 9X13. |

Next you'll be asking about Graham Cracker crumbs.... You can replace that with nut crumbs or cookie crumbs or a combo of both. After that you'll want to know about topping sauces...I like to use canned cherry pie filling. Or thickened (with corn starch) a can of pineapple chunks in syrup. Here's one I like from the above site. Triple Citrus Cheesecake Recipe Rating: Prep Time: 30 min Total Time: 5 hr 40 min Makes: 16 servings 1 cup HONEY MAID Graham Cracker Crumbs 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted 4 pkg.

So I would like to try the NY cheesecake. I have in the fridge two packages of Philadelpia cheese (a sort of creamy cheese), do you think they could go? > > I have a great recipe for lemon cheesecake bars that I like to make > instead of a springform-pan-round cheesecake.

Cheesecake Crust 1 1/4 C (Honey) graham cracker crumbs 1 T sugar (increase to 2T if using plain graham crackers) 3 T butter, melted Filling 1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened 1/2 C sugar 1 T lemon juice 1/2 t vanilla dash salt 2 eggs Topping 1 C dairy sour cream 2 T sugar 1/2 t vanilla Heat the oven to 350° Crust: Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9" spring form pan or regular pie pan. Bake 10 minutes and let it cool while you make the filling. Filling: Turn down the oven to 325° Beat the cream cheese until fluffy, gradually blend in sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and salt. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Pour the filling into the crust. Bake until set - about 1 hour. Slightly under cooked... but not runny is just fine. Topping: Mix together the sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Pour on top of the hot cheesecake and return it to the oven for 10 minutes more. Cool and then chill it for several hours in the refrigerator. I eat cheesecake plain, but you can also serve it with strawberry or raspberry sauce. |

It is a very little quantity IMHO! I have used the cup who sent me the kind Margaret Suran. The weight (in Italian system of measurement) was corrisponding to 75g. Possible? It is very little. You have written that the cake is for 8 persons. So I think ther is an error in the quantity of ingredients. Can you please explain to me? Thank you Pandora Ps.

This is my first cheese cake, make with a miscellanea of recipes. It isn't
so beautiful like your cheesecake, but is the first time! I made a classic type! Look. http://tinypic.com/debsso.jpg http://tinypic.com/debt02.jpg Now I want to ask to Barbara (sf) if the quantity of ingredients she gave me are really good for a 9 inches baking pan. TIA Pandora |

Here's a recipe that I use (and post) a lot -- it calls for cream cheese, not ricotta (although that does sound good): Very Best Cheesecake CRUST 1½ C. Graham Cracker crumbs (about 18 crackers) ¼ C. sugar 5 T. melted butter or margarine FILLING 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, room temperature 2 eggs ½ C. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla TOPPING 1 C. sour cream ¼ C. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla Preheat oven to 375° F. Mix crust ingredients well with fork; using a cold metal spoon, pat firmly into bottom and 1/3 of the way up the sides of an 8" springform pan. Set aside. Beat filling ingredients with rotary beater or electric mixer until satiny and pour into crust. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, raise oven to 475° F. Blend topping ingredients and spread gently over cheese filling. Return cake to oven and bake 10 minutes longer. Cool in pan to room temperature, then cover tightly with foil and chill 10-12 hours before serving. Variations: Big Cheesecake: add one 8 oz. brick of cream cheese, one egg, and ¼ C. sugar to filling; increase first baking time to 25-30 minutes. Fruity Cheesecake: top cooled cheesecake with canned pie filling or sliced fresh fruit. Chocolate Chip Cheesecake: add one bag of mini chocolate chips to filling before baking. -- Jani in WA (S'mee) ~ mom, VidGamer, novice cook, dieter ~ |

Cinnamon really improves the crust in general...got that from the Cake and pie bible by Irma what'shernamestartswithaB. Almond extract works well with chocolate cheesecakes. Nutmeg punches up the flavour in apple cheesecakes. -- The eyes are the mirrors.... But the ears...Ah the ears. The ears keep the hat up. |

An American Cup is 250 ml. I suspect that would give you more than 75
grams, but I havent tested it. |

But I sometimes double the amount of the crust because I like a thick one. Either way it is good. You could probably use ricotta in this instead of cottage cheese, but I can't be sure. MoM |

My favortie bakery cheesecake has only what we would consider a sprinkling of crumbs. |

There is something that I don't understand with your Cups. This morning I have weighed 1 cup of water and it is really 250 ml. Then I have weighed again 1 Cup of crushed crackers and they corresponded to 76-77 grams! Water is heavier! Now I wonder how do you act in this situation, considering you weigh everything in cups. Cheers Pandora |

Well, that's exactly it. Americans dont *weigh*, they measure *volume*. That's why conversions are so complicated, and that's why I have a set of cups for American recipes. Nathalie in Switzerland |

The thing I don't understand is how is it > possible, with 1 cup of crust, cover a 9 inches baking pan ?!? > Pandora A crumb crust for a cheescake is supposed to be *very* thin. Even when I make a cheesecake where the filling is 2-1/2 to 3 inches thick, the crust is never more than about 1/4 inch thick. 1-1/2 cups of crumbs is sufficient to cover the bottom of a 9 or 10 inch pan. Of course, the crumbs are combined with melted butter, a little sugar, and spices if you like. Some people like to include ground nuts with crumbs. I don't. This is a fair example: http://allrecipes.com/advice/coll/co...cles/447P1.asp -- Wayne Boatwright *¿* ____________________________________________ My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four, unless there are three other people. |
