Baked Plain Cheesecake—Prototype 14:
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 the resulting mixture in the greased pan and pre-bake without tub at 300
degrees for 5-10 minutes, depending on the mixture's thickness (closer to 10
minutes if thin enough to be fully distributed across the pan's bottom by gentle
shaking, closer to 5 minutes if thick enough to require spreading out this
mixture by pressing on it with a utensil and/or fingers), then cool enough to
comfortably touch at least the pan's upper sidewall.
Batter:
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
40 oz. (5 cups) yogurt cheese (see above)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon (5 tablespoons altogether) arrowroot
5 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 110 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 110 minutes, then remove
from pan and refrigerate.
