Baked Peanut Butter Cheesecake—Prototype 5:
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.
Grease a 9 1/2" (or 9") pan, but do not wrap foil around it until just
before the batter is added (spreading the crust in an already wrapped pan can
result in greater disturbance to the foil, thus increasing leakage risks).
Crust:
2 oz. melted, white chocolate
4 oz. unsalted peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
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
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/softened butter (unsalted recommended)
8 oz. unsalted peanut butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons arrowroot
40 oz. (5 cups) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
4 eggs
Pour on top of crust. Bake in tub at 300 degrees for 100 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
(right after doing so, add a border of peanut butter—or other flavor—chips
around the cheesecake's top edge, if desired). Then continue to cool down at
room temperature for another 100 minutes, then remove from pan and refrigerate.
