I Have An Ulcer On My Gum

Cheesecake

The other night, sifting a bit 'the web, I felt like cheesecake. The last time I ate at a Starbucks and I must say that it was really good. I decided to try my hand at this too sweet, culinary expression of the States. On the web there are, as usual, a ton of recipes. What most inspired me I got it from a forum and I must say that the results were excellent. Basically I have found the authentic flavor of cheesecake that I tasted. The preparation is a bit 'longish and especially in the recipe be modifying the cooking time because with those of the original recipe I have just found.
During the preparation I did not have any sauce that is excellent with the cheesecake (which however is already so delicious), however any sauce of fresh fruit is great for a slice and cover "breaking" a little 'taste of the cake.
Ingredients for the biscuit ...
  • 1 cup and 1 / 2 of cookies (I used the biscuits with cream and came just essex)
  • 7 tablespoons melted butter
  • 60 g sugar 1 pinch of cinnamon
Preparation:
reduce the powder biscuits and mix with remaining ingredients. Put in a cake mold, maximum of 22 or 26 cm in diameter, a parchment paper the same size of the mold. Then pour the mixture to the biscuit and press it well on the bottom with the help of a spoon. Then put it in the fridge for an hour.
Ingredients for the dough ...
  • 900 grams of Philadelphia light
  • 3 eggs 120 g sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice a pinch of salt
Preparation:
mix the ingredients well until you get a soft cream . In the mix, however, try not to let too much air, but only the strictly necessary. Pour the mixture into the bottom of biscuits and place in preheated oven 150 ° C for 40 minutes, or at least until the cake is not strong enough. Beware, the center will always be a bit 'soft, so do not cook it too otherwise it will break. After half an hour to cook, please check the consistency often to avoid unpleasant surprises. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool.
Ingredients for coverage ...
  • 240 gr sour cream (you can do with 3 / 4 of greek yogurt and 1 / 4 of cream)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla liquid

all ingredients and pour over the cake cooled. Then put it in the oven preheated to 100 ° C for 5 minutes. Then turn off the oven, open it and leave the cake in the oven off and open for another 20 minutes. When the cake is cool again put in the fridge for half an hour. Remove from refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.
