THE BEST CHEESECAKE IN THE WORLD
CRUST:
12 Zwieback Toasts - crushed
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Sugar
5 Tablespoons Melted Butter

Mix well, and press into a spring form pan

FILLING:

3 8-oz Packages of Cream Cheese - softened
1 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
3 Eggs

Beat cream cheese and sugar until well blended add vanilla and
eggs, and continue mixing until smooth and creamy.

Pour filling into crust in spring-form pan, and bake in pre-heated oven at
350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from oven, and raise temp to 500:degrees.

TOPPING:
3/4 Pint Sour cream
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla

Mix in small bowl, and gently spread over cheesecake. Bake for 5 minutes in 500 degree oven, Remove and cool. When completely cooled, cover
with foil, and chill in refrigerator overnight.

NOTE: DO NOT GREASE SPRING-FORM PAN


Remember, the smaller the pan, the longer you have to cook it. I'm so glad you enjoyed it curly.

Wooooooooooo Hooooooooooo *doin the Curly Shuffle*

Many thanks Kat. My mouths watering already. Life is good......

My mouth is watering now.

Too bad we don't have cheesecake for tomorrow. I wish we did. I have to settle for pumpkin pie, cherry pie and blueberry pie. I think there is also going to be a coconut custard too. I would trade all of them for some cheesecake though.

I hope you are bringing that cheesecake here tomorrow!

[Kat]

Damn. Now that I dug out the recipe, I'm sending Rick to the store to get the ingredients. I'm making one for tomorrow. Everybody have a great Thanksgiving. And remember, if you try the cheesecake, smear a little on your honey and lick it off. It's delicious that way!!!!

i have a great recipie too but i also would like to try kat's cheesecake also
here is mine: easy cheesecake

2 pkgs cream cheese
1 small ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 tbsp flour
3 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 stick of butter melted
1 16oz container sour cream
i use a stand up electric mixer for this but a hand held one is fine too.
i keep the mixer running so that the batter stays smooth and creamy.
grease a 9 or 10 inch spring form pan. Mix cream cheese and butter. add ricotta and
the other ingredients, putting sour cream in last. bake 1 hour at 350 degrees, after 1 hour shut off the oven and leave the cheesecake in there for 2 or more hours. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR.. Keep the cake in the springform pan until completely cooled then refrigerate it. You may get a small crack in the top of the cheesecake which is normal. Only once did mine not have a crack in it. My cheesecake does not have a crust on the bottom but you can certainly put one if you like.

Curly, how did your Cheesecake come out? Mine was delicious, and still is. Lubby, I copied your recipe, and I'm trying yours for Christmas. The fact that it doesn't take a crust intrigues me. Hope everyone had a great day, with or without cheesecake.

[Curly]

Came out great! Thanks again for the recipe. The cake even survived a fall from the car. Whew, that was a close one..... ;D

My wife also said she's gonna try Lubbys cheesecake. Sounds like another good one...

[Nasus]

The cheesecake was yum!
