Baked Plain Cheesecake—Prototype 16:
3-Cheese Blend (1CT-1NC-4YG):
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 8 ounces of whipped, lowfat cottage cheese and 8 ounces of softened
Neufchatel cheese ("light cream cheese").
Grease a 9 1/2" (or 9") springform pan, but do not wrap foil around it
yet (see below).
Graham Crust:
2 oz. melted, white chocolate
8 oz. (1 cup) 3-cheese blend (see above)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Completely blend the above ingredients first, then continue with the last one
below.
4 oz. cinnamon graham crackers, ground up
Place resulting crust mixture into bottom of the springform pan and pre-bake
without tub at 300 degrees for 15 minutes, then cool enough to comfortably touch
at least the pan's upper sidewall.
Batter:
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
40 oz. (5 cups) 3-cheese blend (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 115 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 115 minutes, then remove
from pan and refrigerate.
