Basic Cheesecake With Flavor Variations.

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:04:16 -0500

This is more template than recipe, and you get to create the flavor you want. Use graham cracker, chocolate cookie, or gingersnap crumbs, try vanilla, almond, rum, or fruit flavorings. The sky is the limit, and you don't have to tell anyone you didn't make up the whole recipe all by your own self. Ingredients listed are for a plain cheesecake, see instructions for variations. -- posted by EmmyDuckie

I've served it with raspberry coulis and with cherry pie filling... mmm... lemony. I just spotted a lemon cookie in the store I think I may try next. -- posted by Cadillacgirl

The Best White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:04:03 -0500

This cheesecake is not only visually stunning, but is even more delicious! I am the most popular girl at the In-Laws on Christmas Day. I not only place a layer of raspberries on the bottom but you additional berries with mint leaves to make little "holly" decorations on top, perfect for the holiday. I do recommend that you use a very high quality white chocolate. I get mine from a tiny homemade chocolate shop near me, and I usually lean toward a little more than 8oz, probably more toward 10oz. Also, melt the chocolate as directed to certain not to scorch it. Another tip... do not over beat the batter, and be sure to keep it at LOW speed, and add each egg separately. I also make a fresh raspberry coulis and drizzle that as I serve each piece. I use a 10 inch spring-form pan for this. -- posted by Tantric1

Chocolate Orange Cheesecake With Orange-Tangerine Glaze

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:55:10 -0500

I love the combination of chocolate and orange and they unite wonderfully in this recipe. We usually make this for Christmas but it would be good anytime of the year. If you cannot find orange and tangerine marmalade, substitute orange marmalade. I like to drizzle chocolate ganache over the marmalade glaze which creates a beautiful presentation. Make the cheesecake 1-2 days in advance to allow the flavors to bloom. From Gourmet magazine, January 1995. -- posted by swissms

Weight Watchers Cheesecake

I went into a panic attack when Applebees took their Weight Watchers Cheesecake off the menu. A few weeks later I picked up the weight watchers cook book, and this tastes EXACTLY like what was at Applebees. Only difference is the strawberry sauce, which I topped with what I like better: blueberries. XD Hubby loves this cheesecake, it's his favorite.

You can garnish with berries or julienned lemon zest. The cake needs to cool 2-3 hours before serving.

London Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:22:25 -0400

This cheesecake is delicious! You bake it in a water bath so that it bakes really evenly, and comes out so smooth and dreamy. I'm not always a huge fan of cheesecake, and it's a little pricey to make compared with an apple pie or something, but well worth it. And practically no effort at all - I think even a completely unexperienced cook would have no trouble with this recipe, and people go crazy about it when you bring it to a pot luck or something. -- posted by candaceshaw

The best vegan adaptation of a cheesecake I've had. I avoid any vegan cheesecakes that call for tofu because the texture turns out funky, and tastes, well, not like cheesecake should taste like. This variation is great for the holiday season! You can make your own crust or find a separate recipe for a cheesecake crust, but I wanted to save time so I just used the pre-made crusts. I would recommend the bigger "extra serving" pie crust because this yields quite a bit of filling. -- posted by J.J. Foxhound

Cranberry Cheesecake Bites

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:31:29 -0500

This is borrowed and adapted from a chocolate cheesecake recipe on the Food Network. Nice and rich, easy to make. For the cranberries, get some whole berry sauce, and stain off the syrup, or (better) simmer fresh berries in a light sugar syrup. I have since used an acid reduced cranberry called Berry Bits, from Alpine Foods. These are really great as they are like cooked cranberries, without all the sugar, so you an eat them straight or add them to anything as you would say blueberries. I wish they were easier to find, I know of one place, Brennan's in Madison WI. -- posted by jagret

Okay so this is just an ordinary cheesecake with a little twist. I remember this recipe because my manager and I was trying to figure out how to make a cheesecake unique and great. Some people uses sour cream and some people don't. Some uses evap. milk and some people dont. We werent exactly sure what would taste better and what would make the cake smooth or etc. So we came up with this! HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! You will need a Springform pan or if you dont have won, just use a 9inch round pan with foil paper. Make sure to wrap the whole pan with foil! As for toppings, you may use anything you like. Whipped cream Strawberries or blueberries or cherry or any fruits Strawberry or chocolate syrups. Any syrups to your liking. Almonds, walnuts, pecans...

Pecan-Praline Cheesecake With Caramel Sauce

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:53:17 -0500

You can use store-bought pralines to make the crust, but Big Sugars quick praline recipe is worth the extra effort, as is the buttery caramel sauce that gets pooled on top. Add at least 6 hours to overnight chill time to cook time.... Can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Creamy Cheesecake With Pecan Crust and Sour Cream Topping

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:27:37 -0500

This was one of the first cheesecakes that I learned to make, and it set the bar pretty high. The pecans in the crust give it an extra special touch, and the sour cream topping adds to the "wow" factor. This cheesecake needs to chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving, which is not reflected in the preparation time. It can be prepared up to three days ahead and kept in the refrigerator. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Liz's Chocolate Turtle Cake.

My father's a Chef. We made this the other day and it was great. I asked for measurements (sense he doesn't measure, all he does is pour in) and he gave to me. Hope you guys like. If your wondering what "spread caramel within 1" from the edge. Spread to within 1", means you want to leave a plain one inch border around the edges. Also, How did we cut the squares so perfectly? All we used was a sharp knife (that we dipped and wiped dry, every time) in hot water. Hope this helps, if you have any questions, let me know... Enjoy!!! -- posted by .Liz.(Daddy's little Chef)

Found on an estate agents leaflet, I tried this cheesecake, making it for a lunch with friends. It was quite easy to make, it turned out well, and was very well-received, so I'm sharing it with you! I made this the day before, and chilled it overnight, so allow for that. Hope you enjoy it. Please note, the stated time is not allowing for chilling overnight. -- posted by Karen Elizabeth

I'm a major cheesecake lover and this is one of my top favourite cheesecakes. I was surprised it wasn't on here already. It is from the Kraft website. I did make a change to the recipe regarding the caramel. See notes in recipe directions. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do! Cooking time includes chill time. -- posted by Roxanne J.R.
