CHEESECAKE

Father's Day Dessert
Cordon Rose Cheesecake
From Rose Levy Bernbaum's book
The Cake Bible

I am pointing out the book and author, because the book should be in every cook's collection.  What makes this cake interesting is that it can be made without a crust.
 Also, this is not a heavy New York style cheesecake that is overcooked, pasty and just too heavy to enjoy. My father swears by this recipe and we spent some time making it this weekend. I think you will find this recipe to be nice change of pace from store bought or poorly made cheesecakes you get at most places.
Pre heat oven to 350

Ingredient:
1 Cup of sugar
2 x 8oz blocks of cream cheese in packages: Philadelphia is fine
3 eggs
1.5 t of vanilla
3 T fresh lemon juice
1/4t of salt
A3 cups of sour cream

In stand mixer- combine cream cheese and sugar and whip until creamy.Abut 3 minutes.

After that at the eggs, one at a time and blend until just incorporated.

Add Vanilla, lemon juice and  salt.  Lastly add the sour cream and blend until it is just mixed.
Have a springform pan prepped with vegetable crease along the sides and greased parchment on the bottom of the pan.  Wrap the pan tightly with aluminum foil. 

Dump batter into spring form pan
Place the pan in a large roasting pan.
  
Place the pan in the oven, the fill the roasting with hot water. About 1" high surrounding the springform pan.

Cook for 40 minutes.  Then turn the heat in the over off and let the cake sit in the over for an hour.  This will keep the top of the cake from collapsing or cracking.
Then remove from oven and let cool for another hour.

 Then put i fridge over night.
We topped our tonight with local strawberries. It was amazing.





  
Lastly this recipe makes a light cheese cake.  So you will really enjoy it and not feel too full!  Enjoy!!
