Baked Fluffernutter (Marshmallow Peanut Butter) Cheesecake—Prototype 1:
2-to-1 Blend of Yogurt Cheese and Cottage Cheese:
Prepare ahead of time 32 ounces of yogurt cheese, derived from two 32-ounce
containers (that's 64 ounces altogether) 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 one 16-ounce container 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
Place the resulting crust mixture into the bottom of a greased 9 1/2" (or
9") springform pan 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,
the foil is likely to be more disturbed, thus increasing leakage risks).
Marshmallow Batter:
2 tablespoons melted butter (unsalted recommended)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot
20 oz. (2 1/2 cups) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 oz. Marshmallow Fluff (or other brand of marshmallow cream, if the Fluff brand
is not available)—gradually mix this in and blend completely, before
adding any ingredients below.
2 eggs
Carefully pour the batter on top of the crust and bake all this in a hot water
tub at 325 degrees for about 40 minutes. Afterwards, take the tub-and-pan
assembly out of the oven.
Add about 10 regular-sized marshmallows on top.
Return all this to the oven and continue baking at 325 degrees for another 20
minutes. After this is done, remove the tub-and-pan assembly from the oven and
promptly add the batter indicated below.
Peanut Butter Batter:
2 tablespoons melted butter (unsalted recommended)
4 oz. peanut butter (unsalted recommended)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot
20 oz. (2 1/2 cups) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
2 eggs
Carefully scoop all of this batter, except for about 1 1/2 cups, on top of the
marshmallow surface (it is best to do this around the edge of the pan and on top
of the regular marshmallows and let the peanut butter batter flow to the
surface's other areas) and return the tub-and-pan assembly to the oven, this
time at only 300 degrees. Resume baking for about 15 minutes.
Next, remove the tub-and-pan assembly from the oven and carefully add the
remaining peanut butter batter (try to coat whatever marshmallows float to the
surface). Return all this to the oven, still at 300 degrees, and bake for about
60 more minutes (if using a 9 1/2" pan). Then shut off the oven and cool
the cheesecake down while still in it (and in tub), with the oven door slightly
ajar, for about an hour. Afterwards, remove the cheesecake (still in its
springform pan) from the oven and tub and continue to cool it down at room
temperature for another 2 hours.
After that, remove the cheesecake from its pan and refrigerate.
