Recipe by Lobster: Cheesecake, Plain And Simple
Good flavor. Sets up just a little softer than standard cheesecake, but that might be my ingredients too because I used homemade Classic Graham Cracker Crust. Technique Tip: Loosely spread out the crust in the pie plate and up the sides with a fork then use another pie plate to compress the crust to shape.
For the filling used Yogurt to make Labneh which is a yogurt cream cheese.
And in the filling used French Cream Creme Fraiche which is basically sour cream.
I'm at a loss about why the need to fold in the sour cream. ALTHOUGH one could whip the creme fraiche to incorporate a lot of air in it to make it thick and luxurious like egg whites or heavy cream. Then it would be necessary to fold the ingredient into the mix. I'll try it that way next time.
It passed the mother test. She's been wanting to munch on the chocolate chips for a few days now. Glad I got it together without having another trip to the store.
Took a couple of days to fabricate the ingredients but after that it was quick and easy.
Got a sense of satisfaction putting all these from scratch recipes together.
The recipes worked best together as an ingredient list if I made two cheesecake pies.

Really nice, pso. I like this one - especially as I don't have a springform pan. I think this would be great with some raspberry sauce on it as well.
