Cheesecake
Everyone enjoys a slice of cheesecake every now and then. To create a delightful cheesecake it will take 55 minutes. Before even trying to make a cheesecake you need the right ingredients such as " 2 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crusts, 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, 2 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup white sugar 3 eggs, 2 cups sour cream, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract"1. Every cheesecake can have its very own special touch to it, rather it be adding or subtracting an ingredient.
To begin, the first step is to "Preheat oven to 325 degrees F"2 and "Lightly spray a (9-inch) springform pan with cooking spray" 2. The spray will help prevent sticking when trying to get the cheesecake out. The following step is to" Blend cream cheese with whipping cream, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon peel. Add egg yolks, one at a time and mix well. Beat egg whites well and fold into mixture lightly." 3 Make sure to get enough of each ingredient, having more or less can effect the outcome of ones cheesecake. Once the crust is ready in a pan and all the ingredients are mixed the next step would be to "Pour on top of crust and bake at 325 degrees for one hour"3. Keeping an eye on the cheesecake while its baking would be a great idea, try not to over cook it. After an hour, take the cheesecake out of the oven. When trying to take the cheesecake out of its pan "Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake"4. This will help greatly as it will increase your chance in not breaking the cheesecake when removing. Before removing let the cake cool down a bit. Once ready "Spread with sour cream topping, then return to oven for another 5 minutes" 5.
In order to make the cheesecake unique who can spread a variety of toppings onto it or just one. It can be any topping ones heart desires such as "cherry pie filling and garnish"4, a coming topping. After selecting a topping spread it across the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This is an easy dessert to make and may impress some girls if you can pull this one off.
