Cheesecake
« Reply #-1 on: September 07, 2013, 03:04:09 PM »
You ever been so in the mood for something that you just had to make it yourself?  Yeah, that was me and cheesecake yesterday.  Dragged my youngest to the store with me yesterday evening to pick up graham crackers and cream cheese (had everything else) and started it as soon as we got home around 7:00.  In the oven by 8:00.  Oven was off by 9:00 and I let it rest in there until around 3:00 this morning when I refrigerated it.  Turned out absolutely perfect except the crack (I haven't decided whether to blame Tee or my cat Tinker for that yet).  Funny, because I normally have good luck with not cracking my cheesecake.  The ring pulled clean without a knife, and the color and flavor were perfect, so that is what matters.  I put some chocolate syrup on since my wife was in a chocolate mood.  Had some after lunch today for dessert.  My son summed it up... "why would you ever buy cheesecake at a restaurant, when you can cook scratch like that?"  Exactly!

Did you cook in a water bath? That will usually stop the craking problem.

Cheesecakes are so versatile to make a so wonderful to eat.  A water bath does help...took me being hard headed a long time before I finally succomed and started using one.  Just like it did me foiling my ribs.  Dee

Looks great!!  I have started making mini-cheesecakes.  They don't require a water bath.  I plan to bring a few flavors of mini-cheesecakes to the Fall Gathering.  I'll keep you posted.  Plan to try to cook them on my MAK.

Rick the cracks are there to fill with chocolate ;)

Great looking cheesecake! I will take two slices.

That does look great!  My personal favorite is cheesecake with a slightly sweet sour cream topping.

I thought about just filling the cracks and then adding more chocolate to individual slices later, then I forgot and started drizzling.  ::)
