temperature)
4ounces Almond paste
4 large eggs
1/3 C Amaretto liqueur
1/2 C Heavy cream
1/4 C Sugar -- granulated
MAKE CRUST: Butter the sides only (not the bottom) of a 9-inch spring-form pan
(about 2 1/2 to 3 inches deep).
Grind the Amaretti very fine in a food processor or blender.Mix with sugar in a mixing bowl.
Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler, stirring occasionally.
Add the melted mixture to the Amaretti crumbs and sugar and mix thoroughly.
(Don't wash the double boiler; you'll be using it again in a minute.)
Turn the mixture into the prepared pan.
With your fingers, distribute it evenly over the bottom and press it down into a very firm,
compact layer.
Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
MAKE FILLING: Adjust rack 1/3 up from the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Partially melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler,
then uncover and stir until completely melted.
Remove the top of the double boiler and set aside to cool.
Break the Amaretti coarsely into a bowl and set aside.
Cut the almond paste into small pieces, and beat on low speed with an electric mixer,
while gradually adding the Amaretto liqueur. Beat until thoroughly mixed and set aside.
Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the sugar and beat until smooth again.
Add the almond paste-Amaretto mixture and beat until thoroughly mixed.
Add the melted chocolate and beat well again.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating at low speed until they are incorporated after each addition.
Add the heavy cream and beat until smooth.
Add the coarsely broken Amaretti and stir gently only to mix.
Turn into the prepared pan, pouring the mixture over the bottom crust.
Rotate the pan gently to level the batter.
(Don't worry if the mixture comes almost to the top; it won't run over.)
Bake 45 minutes.
It will seem soft and not done, but don't bake any more; it will become firm when chilled.
The top of the cake is supposed to look bumpy because of the large chunks of Amaretti.
Let cool completely at room temperature, then carefully remove the sides of the pan
and refrigerate the cake (still on the bottom of the pan) for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight.
NOTES:
* This is adapted from Maida Heatter's "Book of Great Chocolate Desserts," (Knopf 1980).
It won me a blue ribbon at the Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Exhibition and Fair in 1983.
If you ever find yourself in front of a firing squad, this makes an unbeatable last request.
* Amaretti are Italian almond-flavored wafer cookies.
They are usually sold in metal tins with the wafers wrapped in packages of two inside the tin.
You can also buy Amarettini, which are the same flavor but much smaller
and not individually wrapped.
Since you're going to grind some of the wafers and break the others into chunks,
it doesn't matter which size you start with.
One brand is Amaretti di Saronna, Lazzaroni & Co.
* This is an expensive cake, both in terms of the cost of the ingredients ($15-$20)
and the number of calories.
: Difficulty: moderate to hard.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, 45 minutes baking, overnight cooling.
: Precision: measure ingredients carefully.

Bo's Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
Recipe By : Daniel P. Faigin System Development Corporation, Santa Monic
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheesecakes Chocolate
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
700g cream cheese -- broken into pieces
4 eggs -- separated
30mlvanilla extract (do not use artificial van
250mlsour cream
50g brown sugar -- or to taste
450g chocolate chips
450g graham cracker crumbs
125g butter -- melted.
1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C .
2. Prepare the batter: place the egg yolks in a food processor for 5 seconds,
then add the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Add the brown sugar and vanilla and process for several minutes,
or until the batter is very smooth. Add the sour cream, then beat the egg whites
and fold into the cheese mixture. Set aside.
3. Prepare the crust: soften butter and combine with graham cracker crumbs.
Mix until fully blended, e.g. they will form a ball when squeezed in your hand or by a spoon.
Pat the crust into the sides and bottom of a springform pan about 22 cm in diameter.
4. Spread a generous layer of chips on the bottom of the pan,
and then pour the batter into the pan.
Add another generous layer of chips to the top of the cake.
5. Place the filled pan into the preheated oven.
Baking time will vary from about 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Cooking time depends on whether you want a soft, gooey ``New York'' style cheesecake (shorter)
to a fluffy " souffleé "-like cheesecake (longer). The longer you cook it, the fluffier it gets.
6. When the cake starts to rise like a souffleé, start checking to see if it is done.
It will just about double in volume, and should not flow over the sides of the pan.
If the cake shimmers like Jello when shaken, it is done.
Alternatively, if a knife inserted comes out clean, the cake is overcooked:
the knife should be very lightly coated with batter.
Difficulty : easy to moderate.
Precision : measure the ingredients.

NOTES:
* Legendary cheesecake -- This is from a dessert-chef friend of a regular-chef friend
and apparently won some award.
I've had cheesecakes that I think are more impressive (including one I can make),
but I think I'm something of a cheesecake connoisseur. If I want to blow people's socks off,
this is the one I cook. I think that every time I've served it to a new group,
at least one person has said "That was the best cheesecake I've ever had."
* Some pointers: this is the traditional crust,
but I often use a more floury-baked-pie-crust-like one. It's not too critical.
The magic to getting the texture perfect is in how you beat the cheese.
I use a kitchen aid, work slowly, scrape the bowl often,
and ALWAYS USE ROOM TEMPERATURE EVERYTHING. Using cold cream cheese guarantees lumps.
Don't beat too hard before putting in the sugar, but make sure it's even and fluffy
before the eggs go in. Then again, don't over-beat. It takes practice.
* I've been known to make it with no sugar or vanilla in the topping,
and I think it's more interesting. but the contrast between the layers may confuse
those accustomed to restaurant cheesecakes.
* The glaze is easy as glazes go, but treat it properly.
In particular, stir constantly until it's thick, but don't stir hard or
you'll break down the starch.
: Difficulty: rather difficult (timing is critical.) : Time: 1 hour.

CHEESECAKE (Belgian)

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----CRUST-----
2C Rolled oats (do not
2/3 C Brown sugar -- use instant oatmeal
steel-cut oats)
room temperature)
-----FILLING-----
11ounces Cream cheese
3/4 C Cottage cheese -- (at room temperature
3 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix crust ingredients with your hands until well blended.
Put the mixture in a 9-inch springform pan and form a crust,
pushing it about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan.
Bake the crust about 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. and let it cool.
Beat (or mix) the filling ingredients, at very high speed, for seven minutes.
The mixture must be very smooth. Put the filling in the baked crust.
You may want to re-form the crust slightly first.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees F. The cheesecake is done when the filling is firm,
but not dark (burned) on top. Let it cool, then chill it.
NOTES:
* A moist cheesecake with a wonderful crust -- A college friend gave me this recipe,
oh so many moons ago. It comes from his parents, and may have roots in Belgium.
It is very different from the typical New-York-style dry cheesecake. Yield: Serves 6-8.
: Difficulty: easy.

Author's Notes:
You may have seen this on the cover of a recent magazine when you were standing
in the grocery line. It makes a very rich, truly decadent chocolate cheesecake.
A chocolate wafer is a crisp chocolate cookie about three inches in diameter
and an eighth of an inch thick. If you can't find them, you can substitute any kind of
dry crunchy chocolate-flavored cookie. You can make the crust and filling in a
food processor if you have one. It makes it a lot easier.
Difficulty : moderate.
Precision : measure carefully.

CHOCOLATE CRUST:
1 cup CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIE -- CRUMBS
4tablespoonsUNSALTED BUTTER -- MELTED
CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
2pounds BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE -- FINELY CHOPPED
2 cups HEAVY CREAM
FILLING:
1/4 cup CORNSTARCH
1/2 cup HEAVY CREAM
2 tablespoonsVANILLA EXTRACT
1 1/2 pounds CREAM CHEESE -- SOFTENED
1 1/2 cups GRANULATED SUGAR
4 large eggs -- AT ROOM TEMP
TOPPING:
2ounces WHITE CHOCOLATE -- COARSELY
ASSEMBLY:
CONFECTIONERS' SUGAR (FOR -- DUSTING TRUFFLES)
COCOA POWDER
Make the chocolate crust:
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 F.
Remove the sides from a 10-by-3-inch springform pan. Trim a 10-inch cardboard
cake circle so that it fits snugly within the curved lip of the bottom of the
springform pan. Cover the circle with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil,
leaving a 2-inch overhang all around the edges Carefully attach the side of the pan so
you do not tear the foil . Wrap the
foil overhang halfway up the outside of the pan. (Lining the bottom of the pan in this way
will give the cheesecake an even flat base, making it easy to
remove from the pan.) In a small bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and melted butter,
stirring
until well combined. Press the mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared
pan. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the ganache and filling.
Make the ganache:
Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan set over medium
heat, bring the cream to a gentle boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate
and allow the mixture to stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate. Whisk
until smooth. Measure out 2 cups of the ganache for the cake filling and set
aside. Measure out 1 cup of the ganache for the chocolate truffles, cover and
refrigerate until firm enough to pipe. Cover the remaining ganache and set
aside at room temperature.
Make the filling:
Place the cornstarch in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the cream and the
vanilla, and whisk until smooth.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
E *****
In the 4 1/2-quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer using the paddle
attachment, beat the cream cheese at low speed for 30 to 45 seconds, until
creamy. Gradually add the sugar in a steady stream and beat at medium speed
until blended. At low speed, one at a time, add the eggs, beating well after
each addition. Slowly beat in the reserved 2 cups of chocolate ganache. Beat
in the cornstarch mixture. Pour the filling into the prepared pan and, using a rubber
spatula, smooth the top.
Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes, or
until the center is set. (There will probably be cracks in the top of the
cheesecake; they will shrink as the cheesecake cools and then will be covered
with the ganache frosting.) Turn off the oven. Prop open the oven door with a
wooden spoon and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour.
Set the cheesecake in the pan on a wire rack and cool completely.
Make the chocolate truffles:
Transfer the chilled 1 cup ganache to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch
plain tip (such as Ateco #6). Pipe l-inch mounds with pointed peaks onto a
clean baking sheet. Refrigerate or freeze the truffles for 15 to 20 minutes,
or until just firm enough to roll.
Sift a light dusting of confectioners' sugar over the truffles.
Lightly coat your palms and fingertips with confectioners' sugar. With your
fingertips, pinch a truffle into a round, then roll it gently between your
palms into a round ball. Place the truffle on the baking sheet, and form the
remaining truffles into rounds. Refrigerate or freeze for about 10 minutes,
just until firm.

Decorate the cheesecake:
Run a thin-bladed knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from
the side of the springform pan. Remove the side of the pan. Slide two metal
cake spatulas under the cheesecake and transfer it to a serving platter.
Using a metal cake spatula, spread the reserved room-temperature chocolate
ganache evenly over the top and sides of the cheesecake. Place the chocolate
truffles around the outside edge of the top of the cheesecake, spacing them
evenly.
Melt the white chocolate according to the instructions in the Chocolate Key.
Using a fork, drizzle/shake the warm white chocolate in a decorative zigzag
pattern over the top of the cheesecake.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or overnight, before
serving. (The cheesecake can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 5
days.) Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
With a sharp, thin-bladed knife, cut the cheesecake into 12 truffle-topped
slices, dipping the blade in hot water and wiping it dry after each slice.

GINGER HONEY CHEESECAKE
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheesecakes
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
NANCY BERRY(CWBJ78A)
-----CRUST-----
1 cup Fine graham cracker crumbs
(about 8 full crackers)
1 tablespoon Sugar
1/4 cup Unsalted butter -- cold
cut into 1/4 inch pieces
-----FILLING-----
1poundCream cheese -- at room temp.
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Sugar
2Largeeggs -- at room temp.
1 1/4 cups Sour cream
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
2/3 cup Golden raisins
finely minced
1 tablespoon Candied ginger -- OR MORE
(to taste) finely minced
Here's the recipe you wanted from Ken Haedrich's Home For the Holidays cookbook.
Butter the sides only of an 8-in. springform pan.
Make the crust by mixing the cracker crumbs and 1 T.
sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and rub it in until all of the crumbs are dampened by the fat.
Distribute the crumbs loosely but evenly in the pan and press them in ; pushing them
slightly up the sides. Cover and chill while you make the filling; preheat the oven
to 350 degrees F. Using an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese, honey, and sugar
until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the remaining ingredients and continue to
beat until evenly blended; use the greater amount of ginger if you want a pronounced
ginger flavor, the lesser amount for a subtle effect. Scrape the filling into the pan and
bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool the cake thoroughly on a rack--it will take several
hours--then cover, still in the pan, and refrigerate for 12 hours before un-moulding and
slicing.
Note: Ken Haedrich writes, "I have played around some with baking cheesecakes in a
water bath, curious to see if it made any difference in the final cake. It seems to
improve the texture a little bit, making it creamier. And I'm not sure if this is just a
coincidence, but my water bath cakes don't split on top after they come out of the oven,

The cheesecake you are referring to is quarkkuchen. To the best of my knowledge,
the closest thing to "quark" would be pureed or strained cottage cheese.
Here's a recipe for you. Prepare dough and with it line bottom and sides of a greased
cake tin. Strain cottage cheese, stir in cream.
Add sugar, eggs, grated lemon peel, vanilla, raisins and cornstarch.
Mix flour and baking soda and add. Pour batter into dough lining, top with grated
almonds and bake in 375F oven for about 1 hour. When done, cool cake in a warm place.
Do not chill. CRUST; Mix all ingredients and, on a bread board, knead to a supple dough.
Roll out and use as instructed in above recipe. In view of the large butter content of
this dough, it should be thoroughly cooled before baking.

LENNY'S CHEESECAKE (LEN LOVES SIN)

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheesecakes
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
FRANCES NOSSEN(SWTK50B)
48 oz pkgs cream cheese -- or 5
(STORE brand -- not Philly)
2 cups Sugar
1 teaspoonREAL vanilla
6 Eggs -- beaten
10 ounces Sour cream
So here's the recipe for a crustless cheesecake given to me by my friend of about 30 years;
Len Simon.
Soften cream cheese and beat until SMOOTH. (I 'defrost' it in the nuker.) Add the sugar
and vanilla and beat well. Add the eggs and sour cream. Pour batter into a buttered 10" round,
2" deep cake pan (or comparable springform). Place pan in another pan of water about 1/2" deep
(I use my broiler pan) and bake @ 350 for 45 - 60 minutes or until top begins to turn a light
toast color. The cake will not be set. Remove from oven and cool, then refrigerate for about
2 hours. If you have used a springform pan, you can remove the cake and serve. I use the
cake pan, so I freeze the cake in the pan. To de-pan, I turn a stove burner to high and
move the pan around on the burner for about 45 seconds. Then I invert it over a plate.
If the cake does not fall out of the pan, I give it another turn on the burner for about
10 seconds and try again. Sometimes, tapping the inverted pan on the bottom hastens the
process. I then either wrap the cake and replace in freezer for later use or let it
continue to defrost in the fridge.
AH, I guess these instructions are too detailed for you, but someone else may need them.
Anyway, this is a very basic, creamy cake...good served with canned toppings, fresh fruit,
sauce of your choice, etc. It serves 10 to 16 people, depending on how many of them are
watching their weight or cholesterol. Can be re-frozen. I like it as is, but my uncle has
added hazelnuts to the batter. Who knows

Lime Cheesecake

Categories : Cheesecakes
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----crust-----
1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoonsunsalted butter -- softened
-----cake-----
2pounds cream cheese -- softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs -- room temperature
2 tablespoonsvanilla extract
1 cup sour cream -- room temperature
1/3 cup whipping cream
4teaspoons lime zest -- fresh
1/3 cup lime juice -- fresh squeezed
-----sauce-----
20ounces raspberries -- in light syrup
2 tablespoonssugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Make the crust: preheat oven to 350. Spread coconut in an even layer on a baking sheet
and bake 6 - 8 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times, until the coconut is a golden brown.
Transfer coconut to a bowl to stop the cooking process. Spread almonds in an even layer
on the baking sheet and bake 10 - 12 minutes, shaking pan several times, until almonds
are golden. Toss almonds with coconut. Generously butter the bottom and side of a 9 x 3
round cake pan. Pour coconut/almond mixture into pan and tilt pan to spread the mixture
so that it covers the sides and bottom on the pan, pressing gently if needed.
Make the cheesecake: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer at
medium-high speed until smooth. While continuing to beat, gradually add sugar, beating
until well-combined. One at a time, add the eggs. Beat in vanilla, sour cream and heavy
cream one at a time, beating until smooth each time. Beat in lime juice and zest.
(NOTE: I used key lime juice & zest ... seems to me I added more than 1/3 C of juice, too.
I use the "add until it tastes good" method and like plenty of lime taste.)
Gently pour batter into pan and bake 45 - 55 minutes, until the cheesecake has puffed
nearly to the top of the pan and the edge is light brown. Remove from oven, set on
wire rack for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until completely cooled. Preheat oven to 350 again
and bake cheesecake a second time for 20 - 30 minutes, until the cheesecake is set and
the surface is golden brown. Place on wire rack to cool completely. Cover pan with
plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. With the tip of a sharp knife,
loosen the edge of the cheesecake and tap bottom of pan on counter to loosen.
Invert cheesecake onto a plate and then re-invert onto a serving dish.
Make sauce: Thaw berries. In a food processor, process the raspberries and syrup
until liquefied. Strain through a fine meshed sieve into a bowl. Combine the sugar,
cornstarch and a small amount of puree in a saucepan, whisking to make a paste.
Stir in the remaining puree. Cook over medium hear, stirring constantly for 3 - 4 minutes,
until the sauce thickens slightly and comes to a rolling boil. Remove pan from heat and
transfer to non-aluminum bowl. Set the bowl over a bowl of ice water and stir for
5 - 10 minutes until
chilled. Serve each slice of cheesecake with a spoonful of raspberry sauce

32OzCream Cheese, Softened -- *** see note
1 cup Sugar
3Tbsp.Flour
4 Eggs
1 cup Sour Cream -- **** see note
1Tbsp.Vanilla
Topping Of Your Choice
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Mix crumbs, sugar, and butter.
Press onto bottom of 9 or 10-inch spring-form pan
Bake 10 minutes.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and flour at medium speed until well blended.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Blend in sour cream and vanilla.
Pour over crust.
Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes. Turn oven off and let cake sit in oven with
the door propped open until oven has cooled.
Loosen cake from rim of pan. Rim can be removed when completely cooled.
Best flavor is developed if refrigerated.
* Any kind of crumbs can be used. I often use chocolate cookie
crumbs rather than graham cracker crumbs. I've also used finely
chopped nuts.
** You can use margarine instead of butter, but I always figure
that when I make a cheesecake, it's special, so why cut corners
on fat, calories, and, most especially, flavor.
*** Many times I have added an additional partial package of cream
cheese that I may have had on hand, and once I added a whole
additional 8-oz package with no problem with the texture or
taste.
**** I have also added more sour cream than is called for since I
always buy it by the pint.
Anyway, play with this all you like, I've never had it come out bad. For
my SO, I top it with cherry pie filling from a can. That's his favorite.
I like it plain, myself, although I'll eat it with any topping.

3tablespoonsConfectioners' Sugar
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Rum -- Light
* You can also use Large-Curd Cottage Cheese if the Farmers Cheese is ~-----------------
~----------------- NOTE: THIS IS A SPECIAL CAKE REQUIRING A NEW LARGE FLOWER
POT 7 X 7-INCHES AT A MINIMUM. Press the cheese through a sieve.
Combine the cheese with the egg yolks, beating in 1 yolk at a time.
Add the sugar and blend well. Heat the cream in a large saucepan until it almost boils,
then add the cheese mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly,
until the mixture thickens.
Remove from the heat before it begins to boil. Stir in the fruits, almonds, and lemon rind.
Cool. Cream together the butter and the vanilla, then stir into the cooled cheese mixture.
Line the flower pot with several layers of moistened cheesecloth, leaving enough cloth at
the top to form a flap that will cover the pot. Fill the pot with the cheese mixture and
cover with the flap. Put a weight on the top and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
The whey (liquid) will drip out the bottom of the pot, so be sure to place a pan under it.
When drained, carefully unmould the cake with a knife. Remove the cheesecloth and smooth
the sides with a hot knife. Prepare the sauce. Beat together the egg yolks, sugar,
Madeira, and lemon rind in the top of a double boiler. Cook and continue beating until
the mixture thickens. Stir in the lemon juice and the rum, then chill briefly.
Pour the sauce over the cheesecake and serve. NOTE: This very unusual cheesecake is a
traditional Russian Easter dish. In the old days, the custom was to decorate it with
paper flowers or religious emblems and have the priest come by and bless it.
Back then, it was made in a special pyramid-shaped form, but you can make it in
an ordinary red clay flower pot.
Visually, the effect is quite striking, and the drainage hole allows the excess
whey to escape. To make paskha, you will need a large flower pot and some cheesecloth.
The paskha will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks, but be sure to make it at
least three days in advance.

NOTES : This cheesecake is a base for any flavor cheesecake you might like to make.
Remember that when you add fruit (berries etc.) you are also adding water, so add a
some flour to correct for it (typically 2 tblspn for a cup of berries). Of course
different fruits will have different water contents and you must allow of that.
You might want to use the bottom of the spring form pan as a guide to cut a piece
of parchment (don't use waxed paper unless that's all you have). Placed on the bottom
of the pan, it will allow you to slide the cheese cake off the pan after its been
chilled. If you serve the cheese cake on the pan bottom, it will save it from scratches.
The instructions say to use a "prepared" pan. I "prepare" a cake pan by misting
it with non-stick spray.
This cheese cake is not sweet. Add more sugar or serve with a sweet topping (my preference)
if you like.
I have successfully substituted fat free ricotta and fat free cream cheese with GREAT success.

until the mixture is combined well. Beat in the flour, add the eggs, 1 at a time and
beating after each addition, and beat in the sour cream, the zests, salt and vanilla,
beating the filling until it is combined well.
Pour the filling into the crust and bake the cheesecake in a foil lined shallow baking

the oven door propped open about 6 inches until it is cooled completely. Chill the
cheesecake, covered, overnight.
Remove the sides of the pan. Arrange the raspberries in a star shape on the top
of the cake, and arrange the blueberries around them to cover the rest of the cake.

they are set, and let them cool on a rack for 10 minutes.
While the cheesecakes are baking, in a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in the
reserved pineapple juice. In a small saucepan simmer the crushed pineapple with the
water and remaining 1 tsp sugar for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to
about 2 tablespoons. Stir the cornstarch mixture and stir it in to the pineapple mixture.
Simmer the sauce, stirring, for 2 minutes, transfer it to a metal bowl set in a
larger bowl of ice and cold water, and let it cool, stirring occasionally.
Spoon the sauce onto 2 plates and invert the cheesecakes onto the sauce,

White Chocolate Cheesecake
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheesecakes Chocolate
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2pounds Cream cheese
4 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
12 ounces White chocolate
Soften the cream cheese in the microwave. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
Be careful not to get any water at all in the white chocolate as it changes the
consistency. Hershey's white chocolate bars can be used for the white chocolate.
Add sugar and eggs to cream cheese and blend a bit. Blend in the chocolate.
Pour the mixture into a graham cracker crust and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Let cool slightly in oven with heat off and door slightly ajar.
(Actually, this made two pies for us, so you might want to have two pie crusts on
hand the first time you make it.)
