New York Cheesecake III - All Recipes
Cut the filling ingredients by a fifth (i.e. 4 blocks of cheesecake rather than 5, other ingredients in proportion), be really light on how much cream you add, and leave it in the oven when you turn it off. I found following the recipe as-is will give you a runny cake, even after it's chilled.
Thanks a lot! I'll give it a shot come mothers day.
Original Recipe Yield 1 - 10 inch springform pan
Ingredients
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/3 cup white sugar
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 2 1/2 pounds cream cheese, softened
* 1 3/4 cups white sugar
* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 5 eggs
* 2 egg yolks
* 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a 10 inch springform pan with spray oil. Note: You could use a 9x13 inch pan instead.
2. To make the crust: Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg and 1/2 cup butter or margarine. Spread to the edges of the pan. Prick all over with a fork, then bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Allow to cool.
3. Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 5 eggs and the yolks and mix thoroughly. Add cream and mix only enough to blend.
4. Pour filling over crust and bake for 10 minutes at 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Reduce temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and continue to bake for one hour. Turn oven off, but leave cake in for another hour. Don't worry if it looks a little jiggly in the center.
5. Chill overnight. This is imperative! If desired, top with your favorite fruit or serve plain.
