Baked Eggnog Cheesecake—Prototype 18:
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:
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
1 1/3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1.1 oz. Bran Buds, 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 butter, softened or melted
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (20 oz.) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
2 cups light eggnog
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/8 cup arrowroot
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
Bake, with tub, for about 90 minutes at 300 degrees. Next, turn oven off,
leaving cheesecake in it (still in tub as well), with oven's door slightly ajar,
for another 45 minutes. Afterwards, remove cheesecake from oven and tub, and let
this cool off (cheesecake still in pan) for about 90 minutes. Then remove from
pan and refrigerate.
