Restaurant Cheesecake
This is the easiest but tastiest cheesecake I make for the
restaurant....almost the same as Juniors cheesecake in NYC.(which is the
best IMHO) Give it a try and let me know!
(strange...I am eating a piece as I type!)
Tamara
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
3/4 plus 2 T sugar
3 T cornstarch
30 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter bottom and sides of 8 or 9 inch
springform pan. Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with the graham cracker
crumbs and refrigerate.
Combine the sugar and the cornstarch ( sift if lumpy) and beat in the cream
cheese. Beat in the egg. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream beating
constantly but do not overbeat! Add the extracts and stir well. Pour into
pan and bake until the top is a golden color, about 40-45 minutes. Cool in
pan on rack for 3 hours.
Serves 8-10
