Go to allrecipes.com, find the recipe for cheesecake deluxe submitted by Muffy. Follow the recipe, except extend the baking time to about 3 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do the 400 degree bake for ten minutes first, as the recipe says to do. And you can add a few drops of vanilla to the recipe if you wish.
It is rich and creamy, and at least as good, if not better than Cheesecake Factory. I have made it many times, and I have the stuff in the frigerator for another. I substituted Neufachel cheese for a couple of the cream cheeses the last time, it is what I had in the house. I thought it gave a sharper taste to the cake, but I did save calories. I have made this many times, always to rave reviews, and it has turned out perfectly every time. It has 5 whole eggs, two egg yolks, and cream and flour and sugar and vanilla, i[f you want it], and 5 8oz packages of cream cheese..
Walmart has cheap springform pans, 3 sizes in a nest for way cheaper than one costs at the kitchen store. Just in case you do not have one!
I love allrecipes, I have signed up for the daily and weekly e-mails, and to use a recipe box, so I can store recipes I might like to use later. It is all free, and I have never had a problem with the site, or them. There is a service that costs money, you get additional recipes. But I do not need that. It took me just a couple minutes to sign up. I have got several recipes that I like and use repeatedly from there, Husband's Delight being another.

Well, I'm known as the cheesecake lady, so does that answer your question? lol

I make mean cheesecakes where I'm at. One of my favorites is a Strawberry Almond Chocolate Chip and people seem to love it as well.

Crust Ingredients:
1 cup graham crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup sugar
5 tbsp. butter, melted

Mix crust ingredients and press 1/2 up on sides of springform pan and along bottom of pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool.

Filling Ingredients:
3 packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
1/2 package of mini chocolate chips

Combine cream cheese, sugar, sweetened condensed milk and extracts in large bowl, mixing completely. Add eggs 1 at a time until all are incorporated. With a wooden spoon, mix in mini chocolate chips. Pour into cooled crust and bake at 350 for 50 minutes. When finished, take cheesecake out and let cool completely on counter.

Topping:
Fresh strawberries, sliced in half, to cover top of cheesecake
Strawberry glaze
Almond slices

Sprinkle almond slices on top of cheesecake. Arrange strawberry slices on top of cheesecake. Entire top of cheesecake should be covered with strawberries. Spoon the entire container of glaze over sliced strawberries and spread out. Refrigerate overnight.

Answer 4

Active time: 45 min Start to finish:10 hr


1 crumb-crust recipe, made with finely ground graham crackers
5 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
5 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla



Make crumb crust as directed in separate recipe. Preheat oven to 550°F.
Beat together cream cheese, sugar, flour, and zests with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and yolks, 1 at a time, then vanilla, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated and scraping down bowl between additions.

Put springform pan with crust in a shallow baking pan. Pour filling into crust (springform pan will be completely full) and bake in baking pan (to catch drips) in middle of oven 12 minutes, or until puffed. Reduce temperature to 200°F and continue baking until cake is mostly firm (center will still be slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken), about 1 hour more.

Run a knife around top edge of cake to loosen and cool completely in springform pan on a rack. Chill cake, loosely covered, at least 6 hours. Remove side of pan and transfer cake to a plate. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Cooks' note:
mine lasted covered and chilled, 2 weeks.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
