Baked Banana Cheesecake—Prototype 4:
2-to-1 Blend of Yogurt Cheese and Cottage Cheese:
Prepare ahead of time 16 ounces of yogurt cheese, derived from one 32-ounce
container of nonfat yogurt. If the resulting yogurt cheese falls below 16
ounces, add back enough of the whey (that was strained out from the yogurt) to
make up the difference. To this yogurt cheese combine 8 ounces (1 cup) of
whipped, lowfat cottage cheese.
Crust:
2 oz. banana puree (note: the puree here is optional—use it if a
banana-flavored crust is desired)
1 oz. melted, white chocolate
1/2 cup (4 oz.) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 oz. All-Bran, ground up
Pour this crust mixture into pan (9 to 9 1/2 inches) and pre-bake without tub at
300 degrees for 5 minutes, then cool enough to comfortably touch at least the
pan's upper sidewall.
Batter:
2 tablespoons melted or softened butter
5/8 cups granulated sugar
6 ounces of banana puree
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 2/3 tablespoons arrowroot
20 oz. (2 1/2 cups) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
Pour on top of crust. Then bake in tub at 300 degrees for 90 minutes (if using a
9 1/2" pan), cool (outside of oven and tub) for another 90 minutes, remove
from pan and refrigerate.
