Simple Cheesecake Recipes-COUNTRY CHEESECAKE

DOUGH:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons dairy sour cream

FILLING:

4 eggs
1 egg white
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 pounds of farmers or ricotta cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons grated orange or lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

To make the dough, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives cut the butter into the flour mixture leaving a coarse and crumbly texture (mixture will contain some lumps).
In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks into the sour cream. Stir the beaten egg yolks into the dough mixture. Knead in the bowl until mixture begins to form a dough and is well mixed. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate one to two hours.

Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 13 x 9 x 2" pan in approximately I 15 x 11" rectangle.

Line the bottom of the pan with the dough, stretching to fit so that it comes up to about two thirds of the way up the sides of the pan.

For the filling, beat the eggs and egg white at high speed of electric mixer until thick. Add the sugar gradually, continuing to beat at high speed until egg whites are stiff, but not dry, and peaks form.

Press the cheese through a sieve or potato ricer or pulse in food processor. Fold gently into beaten egg white mixture.

Add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly, but gently so as not to deflate the egg whites.

Turn the cheese filling into the dough lined pan.

Bake at 350F for 40 minutes or until set.

Cool and cut into squares.

Pour over the crust and place it back into the still hot oven (200ºC).
Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 100º.
Cook it for about 20 minutes more or until it starts to golden slightly. It should still jiggle a bit in the centre.
Let it cool in the oven for an hour, as it will crack if it cools too quickly. When completely cool, refrigerate for a few more hours, preferably overnight.

Simple Cheesecake Recipes-Hacked Cheesecake recipe

By: Eve. B

Biscuit Base
1 pack of biscuits - I used ginger nuts, but these were quite solid so I would go with traditional digestives.
150g butter

'Cheesecake bit'
Approx 250g/1 pot of double cream
Approx 250g/1 tub of soft cheese - Think Philadelphia...
Approx 100g of caster sugar - I actually thought the cheese part was a little too sugary so wouldn't add sugar but its a matter of personal taste, maybe adding it gradually until it tastes right?
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 tin of Black Cherry pie filling/whatever fruit topping you fancy

Crush biscuits into crumbs, I used a bag and a rolling pin which was laborious so if you have a blender use it. Melt butter in a pan and stir in the crumbs, this is your biscuit base.
Press the mixture into a greased or grease papered tin.
Next put the double cream, soft cheese, optional sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl and whisk together for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture thickens. It should be of a consistency to hold little 'peaks' by itself, so not too runny.
Add the mixture to the top of your biscuit base and flatten out gently.
Put in in the fridge to set cool for a few hours.
Finally, when the cheesecake is set you can add the fruit topping, which is best left to set for another hour or so in the fridge, unless you can't wait (like me).

Simple Cheesecake Recipes-Low Cholesterol New York Style Cheesecake

Ingredients:
· 1 pound low fat cottage cheese (1 percent)
· 1 pound low fat cream cheese, at room temperature
· 1-1/4 cups sugar
· 2 eggs, plus 4 egg whites (or 1 cup Egg Beaters)
· 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
· 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
· 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
· A pinch of salt
· For the topping:
· 2 cups no fat sour cream
· 1/3 cup sugar
· 1 8 inch spring form pan, lightly sprayed with oil
Cooking Instructions:
· Preheat the oven to 350°F (The rack should be set in the lower third of the oven.) Bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Wrap a piece of foil around the bottom and sides of the spring form pan. (This prevents water from leaking in.)
· Puree the cottage cheese in the food processor, scraping down the sides. This will take 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and puree until smooth. Add the sugar and puree. Add the eggs, egg whites, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt and puree. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Tap the pan a few times on the work counter to knock out any bubbles.
· Set the pan in a roasting pan in the oven. Add 1 inch boiling water to the pan and bake the cheesecake for 30 minutes.
· Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream and sugar. Spoon this mixture on top of the cheesecake. Continue baking the cheesecake until set, 10 to 20 minutes longer. To test for doneness, gently poke the side? When the top no longer jiggles, the cheesecake is cooked. Another test: an inserted skewer will come out clean when the cheesecake is cooked. Do not overcook, or the cheesecake will become watery?
· Transfer the cheesecake to a cake rack to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold. To serve, run the tip of a small knife around the inside of the pan. Unfasten the sides.
· Note: many people like to serve cheesecake with strawberry sauce? Made by boiling strawberries with a little water, sugar, and cornstarch.
