From midgelet 14 years agoIngredients
- 2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature shopping list
- 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature shopping list
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla shopping list
- 1-1/2 cups sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup less 1 tablespoon cornstarch shopping list
- 7 eggs shopping list
- 2 cups whipping cream shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice shopping list
- Berry topping (see instructions) shopping list
How to make it
- Heat oven to 350 degrees with rack one-third down from top.
- Butter a 13x9-inch pan and set aside.
- In large bowl of electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until soft and smooth.
- Add vanilla, sugar and cornstarch.
- Beat, scraping bowl, until smooth.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, and add cream gradually with mixer on low speed.
- The mixture should be thin and smooth as honey.
- Add the lemon juice last and beat only to mix.
- Spray the bottom of the buttered pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Pour batter into pan.
- Place pan in a larger pan that must not be deeper than the cake pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and pour hot water almost an inch deep into the large pan.
- Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Carefully turn both pans together front to back, then raise oven temperature to 375. Bake 10 to 15 minutes more (total baking time is 40-45 minutes).
- Bake only until the top is a pale golden brown.
- Carefully remove from oven and remove cheesecake pan from the hot water.
- Let stand until bottom of pan is completely cool.
- Do not refrigerate until cake has been removed from pan.
- Cover cake with a large serving board or tray.
- Center the board or tray over the cake and hold board and cake pan firmly together and turn them over.
- Remove cake from its pan.
- Refrigerate the cake as it is - upside down.
- There's no crust anyway.
- Cut into squares and heap with berry topping.
- Berry Topping:
- Buy a can of cherry or strawberry pie filling; stir in at least 2 cups of sliced strawberries and fresh blueberries, so you end up with glazed fruit, not goo.
- Spoon over cheesecake squares.
