Baked Maple Cheesecake—Prototype 8:
3-Cheese Blend (1CT-1NC-1YG):
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 16 ounces of whipped,
lowfat cottage cheese and 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) of softened
Neufchatel cheese ("light cream cheese").
Grease a 9 1/2" (or 9") springform pan, but do not wrap foil around
it yet (see below).
Crust:
4 oz. melted, white chocolate
8 oz. (1 cup) 3-cheese blend (see above)
1/2 cup maple sugar
1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring
2 oz. All-Bran, ground up
Place the resulting mixture in the greased pan and pre-bake without tub at 300
degrees for 30 minutes, then cool enough to comfortably touch at least the pan's
upper sidewall.
Batter:
1 1/4 cups maple sugar
40 oz. (5 cups) 3-cheese blend (see above)
2 teaspoons maple flavoring
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
6 eggs
Wrap the pan in foil just before adding the batter (to minimize the foil's
disturbance and therefore its leakage risk, do not put it on any earlier).
Or as an alternative to using foil, place this pan in an
Easy Bath Cheesecake Wrap—and don't bother
waiting for the pan to get comfortably cool to do so.
Next, pour the batter over the crust and bake this cheesecake in a hot water tub
at 300 degrees for 85 minutes (if using a 9 1/2" pan). Then cool the
cheesecake 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 120 minutes, then remove
from pan and refrigerate.
