Baked Cherry Cheesecake—Prototype 7:
2-to-1 Blend of Yogurt Cheese and Cottage Cheese:
Prepare ahead of time 2 pounds of yogurt cheese, derived from two 32-ounce
containers of nonfat yogurt. If the resulting yogurt cheese falls below 32
ounces, add back enough of the whey (that was strained out from the yogurt) to
make up the difference. To this yogurt cheese combine 16 ounces (1 pint) of
whipped, lowfat cottage cheese.
Crust:
2 oz. melted, white chocolate
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
8 oz. (1 cup) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
2 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 10 minutes, then cool enough to comfortably touch at least the
pan's upper sidewall. Carefully wrap the pan in heavy foil afterwards (do not
wrap it earlier—otherwise, this increases leakage risks).
Batter:
4 tablespoons melted or softened butter
7/16 cup (3/8 cup + 1 tablespoon) Cherry Kool-Aid (pre-sweetened) mix (about the
same amount of mix that would be needed as if to make 1 quart of the drink
itself, but do NOT rely on the package's enclosed scoop)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons arrowroot
5 cups (40 oz.) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
Wrap the pan in foil at this point. Carefully pour the batter over the crust and
bake this cheesecake in a hot water tub at 300 degrees for 105 minutes (if using
a 9 1/2" pan). Then shut off oven and cool cheesecake down while still in
it (and in tub), with door slightly ajar, for an hour. Afterwards, remove from
oven and tub and continue to cool down at room temperature for another 105
minutes, then remove from pan and refrigerate.
