Baked Plain Cheesecake—Prototype 9:
50/50 Cheese Blend:
Start with 32 ounces of nonfat yogurt, and strain it for at least 24 hours, thus
producing yogurt cheese. The goal here is to attain 16 ounces of this cheese. If
less than 16 ounces of it remains, add back enough of the whey strained out to
make up the difference. If, however, more than 16 ounces remains, exclude the
extra remaining cheese. Combine the 16-ounce yogurt cheese result with 16 ounces
of whipped, lowfat cottage cheese.
Only 28 ounces of this blend is required for what follows, so save the extra 4
ounces for another purpose (alternatively, you could combine 14 ounces of yogurt
cheese with 14 ounces of cottage cheese, depending on what you have available).
Crust:
1.5 oz. melted, white chocolate
8 oz. 50/50 cheese blend
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2.2 oz. Bran Buds, ground up
Pour this crust mixture into pan 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:
2 tablespoons melted or softened butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
20 oz. 50/50 cheese blend
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
Bake in tub at 300 degrees for 60 minutes (if using a 9 1/2" pan), cool
(outside of oven and tub) for an hour, remove from pan and refrigerate.
