baked cheese cake. ppl always ask me for the recipe when i post stuff on fb but this is a problem cos the way i bake/cook is i look at a few recipes online and then i close my browser and make what i feel. so i gotta try remember what i did:
- crush the cookies with butter (one baker’s pack with about 2T butter) for the base… put it in the fridge while you get the rest done.
- then whisk 3 egg whites to soft peaks.
- cream the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of sugar
- add some vanilla essence and a tub of Philadelphia cream cheese (250ml, i think).
- add a 250ml sour cream (this makes it lighter)
- I added about 100 ml butter milk cos i had it in the fridge and the cats don’t like it anyway.
- once that is mixed properly add corn starch (maizina) … about 4-5 T until less runny (sorry… hard to explain)
- finely zested in one lemon rind and added about 30 ml of it’s juice
- fold in the egg whites
- pour on top of the cookie base
- bake at 200 deg C for like 45 min. It rises up really high and then when you take it out will fall and crack - this is good. you know it is ready when a toothpick comes out clean.
