Very Special Cheesecake
I can't say enough good things about this recipe. This is the cheesecake that sells for $6.50 per tiny wedge
at your very upscale delis. You will notice that there is no crust. None is
needed.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound cream cheese
- 1 pound ricotta cheese
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 stick of butter, melted and cooled
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups sour cream
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, cream the cheeses and sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the melted and cooled butter, flour, cornstarch and vanilla. Beat until mixture is well combined. Fold in the sour cream and mix well.
- Pour into an ungreased, 9-1/2-inch springform pan. Place pan in the middle of the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake in for another 2 hours without opening the oven door. Let cake cool completely in pan and then chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- "Spring" the pan, remove the cake and garnish with berries or top with strawberry glaze, if desired.
