Baked Plain Cheesecake—Prototype 12:
Yogurt Cheese:
Prepare ahead of time 3 pounds of yogurt cheese, derived from three 32-ounce
containers of nonfat yogurt. If the resulting yogurt cheese falls below 48
ounces, add back enough of the whey (that was strained out from the yogurt) to
make up the difference.
Crust:
2 oz. melted, white chocolate
8 oz. (1 cup) yogurt cheese (see above)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 oz. All-Bran, ground up
Place this crust mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan (9 to
9 1/2 inches), spreading the crust evenly (no pre-baking is needed with
this one).
Batter:
4 tablespoons melted or softened butter
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
40 oz. (5 cups) yogurt cheese (see above)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons arrowroot
4 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).
Next, pour the batter over the crust and bake this cheesecake in a hot water tub at
300 degrees for 100 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 100 minutes, then remove from pan and refrigerate.
