Baking Question?

Question

I'm curious, what would happen if I replaced some of the cream cheese in cheese cake with another kind of cheese? Would the cake still work or would it some how be ruined?

Answer 1

You'll need to substitute the cream cheese with something similar in texture for the consistency to remain the same in the finished product. I found the following at Emeril's website -- it may point you in the right direction when choosing a different cheese for your creation:
I also thought there should be a cheesecake for every food plan---low carbohydrate, low fat, and no fat. As a base I found that dry curd cottage cheese (or hoop cheese) works great because it is pure, no fat, negligible carbohydrates, no cholesterol, just protein. It really has no flavor and does not "get in the way" of what you want to create. When blended with cream cheese and egg substitute, it gives a wonderful texture. The only drawback to this dry curd cottage cheese (or hoop cheese) is that it can be hard to find. So if your grocery does not have it you can substitute fat-free cottage cheese. When using the fat-free cottage cheese you need to rinse it, 8 ounces at a time with cold water and drain it in a sieve, pressing it in the sieve to get the extra liquid out. You want it to be as dry as possible or your cheesecake will be runny. To replace 16 ounces of dry curd cottage cheese or hoop cheese use 24 ounces of fat-free cottage cheese. After rinsing it will be 16 ounces.

Hope this helps!

The only thing I'd suggest is Marscapone - cream cheese like but milder. I've never done it. Check out the food network site under Giada - she does an Italian one with different cheeses.

Answer 3

Yes you can substitute or mix in ricotta cheese, or mascarpone, both are very nice italian cheeses. If you choose ricotta, just make sure you add in a little sugar. It will work out well. Lots of italian woman have been doing it for years, and there cheescakes all came out wonderfully.

Answer 4

It woudn't work... the recipe is made for cream cheese, but IF you used another type of creamy cheese, like Havarti or.. I don't know, it is possible. I wouldn't replace the whole thing and I wouldn't replace with cheddar or mozzarella or something like them.

Answer 5

i have been searching for concepts for baked beef chops, a tremendous type of the recipes I actually have considered use soup or some thing else that makes them "moist" and no man or woman in my homestead will devour a soggy beef chop :) that being stated.. right it truly is a recipe i tried very last evening and it became a winner with my relations. OVEN BAKED fowl OR beef CHOPS 3 lb. fowl or beef chops a million c. dry bread crumbs a million/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese a million/2 tsp. garlic powder a million/2 tsp. pepper 4 tbsp. butter, melted integrate bread crumbs, cheese, garlic powder and pepper. Dip each little bit of fowl in butter, then roll in dry blend. position in greased baking pan. Bake at 350 tiers for one hour. Serves 4. Edit: I only chanced in this recipe on a similar website I were given mine from the former day =) really exciting, because I in no way observed a recipe using beef chops and fowl in similar dish. OVEN BAKED fowl AND CHOPS a million/2 c. all purpose flour a million tsp. salt a million/2 tsp. paprika a million/4 tsp. pepper 4 fowl breast 4 beef chops 2 tsp. butter, melted a million sm. eco-friendly pepper a million sm. onion warmth oven to 425 tiers. blend flour, salt, paprika and pepper in a bowl. Dip fowl and chops into butter, roll in flour blend to coat. organize in a tremendous ungreased sq. pan. upload onion and pepper diced. Bake for fifty 5 minutes.

Answer 6

I wouldn't. Unless it's the low fat/fat free neufchatel cream cheese. Even then, I don't know if it would work the same way. Sorry

Answer 7

Believe it or not I have seen it made and tasted it, made with cottage cheese instead of cream cheese. VERY TASTY

Answer 8

uhh uhh, no way. you could sub brie, camenbert, or epouisse, but the cake would really suck big-time

Answer 9

I don't think that's a good idea.

Answer 10
