Answer 4

I make a cheese cake recipe from 10% pressed cottage cheese
It is so easy.
1 graham wafer crust made with 1 1/2 cups graham wafer crumbs , 6 tbsp soft butter or margarine, 2 tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
press into spring form pan
Filling
1 1/2 lb cottage cheese
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
Process ingredients until smooth
Pour into graham wafer crust.
Bake 35 minutes at 375 degrees
Turn heat off and leave cake in oven for one hour with door partly open until cool
Top may crack slightly and cake may fall a little
You can top with canned pie fillings, fresh strawberries canned drained peach slices, or Mandarin orange segments arranged attractively on top cheese cake when cool
I sometimes put the cherry pie filling on top of graham crust then pour in my cheese filling and bake. Just a different way
It's delicious.

Answer 5

Key Lime Cheesecake

Ingredients:

Crust

3 cups graham cracker crumbs
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted

Filling

1 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup water
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1-1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons grated lime rind
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled

Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Lime slices for garnish (optional)


Directions:

Prepare crust:

Stir crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a medium-size bowl. Press over bottom and up sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

Prepare filling:

Combine lime juice and water in a small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over top. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Stir sugar, eggs and lime rind into pan. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until almost boiling, about 7 minutes or until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F.; do not boil. Remove from heat.

Beat butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until well mixed, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in lime mixture until well blended. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens enough to mound slightly when dropped from a spoon, about 45 minutes.

Beat chilled cream in a small chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into lime mixture. Pour into prepared crust. Cover; refrigerate until firm, 3 to 4 hours.

Run a thin knife around inside of pan to loosen sides; remove sides of pan. Garnish with whipped cream and lime slices if desired. Store in refrigerator.

Note: For authentic Key lime flavor, use Key limes, which are more aromatic and citrusy than the commonly available, larger Persian limes.
