Baked Strawberry Cheesecake—Prototype 1:
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.
Grease a 9 1/2" (or 9") 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).
Crust:
2 oz. melted, white chocolate
8 oz. (1 cup) yogurt cheese (see above)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon 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:
4 tablespoons melted or softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
14 oz. strawberry conserves (such as from
Whole Foods Market)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons arrowroot
5 cups (40 oz.) yogurt cheese (see above)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
Wrap the pan in foil, and carefully pour the batter on top of the crust. Bake
all this in a tub at 300 degrees for 105 minutes (if using a 9 1/2" pan).
Then cool 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 105 minutes, then remove
from pan and refrigerate.
