Baked S'mores Cheesecake—Prototype 3:
2-to-1 Blend of Yogurt Cheese and Cottage Cheese:
Prepare ahead of time (allow at least 24 hours) 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") springform 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).
Graham Crust:
2 oz. melted, white chocolate
8 oz. (1 cup) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (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 next
ingredient, shown immediately below.
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Fully combine this with the other above ingredients, then continue afterwards
with the last crust ingredient below, mixing it in quickly.
4 oz. cinnamon graham crackers, ground up (such as Annie's Cinnamon Grahams)
Place resulting crust mixture into bottom of the springform 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.
Chocolate Batter:
4 tablespoons melted/softened butter
3/8 cup cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons arrowroot
40 ounces (5 cups) 2-to-1 blend of yogurt cheese and cottage cheese (see above)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
Wrap the pan in foil at this point. Carefully 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 shut off oven and cool the cheesecake down while still
in it (and in tub), with door slightly ajar, for an hour. Afterwards, remove
this cheesecake from oven and tub, and add a border of milk chocolate chips
on top, around the cheesecake's edge (see photo below). Continue to cool it down
at room temperature for another 110 minutes. After doing so, remove the cheesecake
from pan and refrigerate.
