Baked Dulce De Leche Cheesecake—Prototype 2:
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.
Caramel Sauce:
Empty two 14-ounce cans of sweetened condensed milk (nonfat recommended) into a
container to be used for heating (warning: do not use the cans themselves for
heating, due to the possibility of the high heat causing the cans' inner
material to react with—or somehow adversely affect—the milk). There
is more than one way to heat this sweetened milk until it turns brown. One of
them is to microwave the milk at medium power for a few minutes, then cut the
power to medium-low and microwave for a few more minutes. Stir the contents
frequently while heating. Another option (which takes more time) is to place the
container on top of another one which itself contains boiling water. Simmer all
this on a stove for about an hour or so, stirring often. Alternatively, put it
into an oven at about 400 to 425 degrees—but tightly cover the milk's
container (just that one, not the container with the hot water) with foil—and
bake about one to two hours, or until the mixture is brown enough.
Crust:
2 oz. melted, white chocolate
1 cup (8 oz.) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
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.
Batter:
4 tablespoons melted or softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
5 cups (40 oz.) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons arrowroot
Caramel sauce from two 14 oz. cans of sweetened condensed milk (see above)—note
that this gets blended into the batter (tip: the warmer the caramel sauce is, the
softer it is, thus the easier it is to get it blended in)
4 eggs
Pour on top of crust. Bake in tub at 300 degrees for 115 minutes (if using a 9
1/2" pan). Then cool down while still in oven (with this oven shut off) 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 115 minutes, then
remove from pan and refrigerate.
