Baked Eggnog Cheesecake—Prototype 26:
2-to-1 Blend of Yogurt Cheese and Cottage Cheese (1CT-2YG):
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.
Batter:
24 oz. (about 3 cups) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see
above)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6/10 (about) teaspoon rum extract (but see comments below)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/3 tablespoons xanthan gum (tip: blend this in before adding the
eggnog)
2 cups light eggnog
3 eggs
Place about 2/3 of this batter into a greased 13" x 9" glass
("Pyrex") pan, and bake in tub at 300 degrees for 70 minutes. After
this is done, remove from oven and carefully add the remaining 1/3
batter on top of the earlier installment. Return to oven and continue baking at
300 degrees for another 80 minutes. Shut off oven afterwards, leaving door
slightly ajar, for 60 minutes. Next, remove pan containing cheesecake from tub
and oven, and let cool at room temperature for 120 minutes, then (with
cheesecake still in pan) refrigerate.
