Lou's Cheesecake - Light and Fluffy

Ingredients:

6 eggs- Separated
2 Packs of Philadelphia Cream Cheese ( 16 0zs. )
1 cup of Vanilla Ice Cream
1 Â¼ cups of Sugar
1 stick of Butter = Â¼ lb. ( softened )
1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice
6 tablespoons of Orange Juice and grate fine, the (rind)skin of 1 orange
1 teaspoon of Vanilla flavor
2 heaping Tablespoons of Flour
Â¼ cup of Cornstarch

Add into a large bowl, 6 egg yolks, cream cheese, Â¾ cup of sugar, Vanilla Ice Cream, Lemon Juice,
Orange juice, Grated orange skin, Butter, Vanilla and Flour.

Beat until creamy smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes, with a hand mixer.

In another bowl, beat the egg whites ; with clean beaters, until they hold soft peaks
and then add remaining Â½ cup of Sugar, one tablespoon at a time, at Medium speed,
for 1 minute. Increase the speed for 2 to 3 minutes ,or until whites hold stiff peaks.
add this to the cheese Batter 1/3 at a time, folding easily but thoroughly.

I oiled a 9 in. x 12 in. SS pan and dusted it with flour,
or you can use your favorite pie shell mix, poured the batter into it and
leveled it slightly by shaking. I placed this SS pan into a slightly larger pan, filled
with water about Â¾ inches deep. This was put into the 325 Deg. preheated oven ,
on the middle shelf and baked about 55 to 60 minutes or until the top is a light Golden light Tan.
Turn off the oven but leave the cake in until it cools down a little. It will settle and be slightly recessed upon cooling.
When cool, cover the top with plastic wrap and refrigerate, for at least 1 hour.

Cover the top with a fruit pie mix or Strawberry or Cherry preserves
Cut the large pieces of fruit smaller.

Can be refrigerated for at least 3 days.

I've been working on a recipe for a Light,Fluffy cheesecake and got it right. I put a piece in the freezer
yesterday and tested it today. It didn't seem to affect it any. I did the same with store bought.
Maybe someone has frozen the Mini Cheesecakes and could add to this.

I've never had any problems freezing the Mini Cheesecakes and I always freeze about 2 dozen whenever I make them. But I've never kept them frozen for more then maybe 6 mos at a time.

That's next on my wish list. Grin. The door would be heavy and with my luck I'd prop it up while I was doing something and bump the brace and have it fall on my head. ha ha Did see a video last night where the guy made a lid using a polycarbonate doublewall panel. Planted an idea. He had also lined the little cold frame with that silver bubble wrap. Think he is in North Carolina. Standard small, probably 6" in the front and 12" in the back. Not as cool as yours, but OK for his lettuce and radishes and maybe carrots and something else I forget. I like your larger one better - more useful IMHO. Planted more strawberries this afternoon. Got the PVC pipes yesterday - work on that tomorrow. Hubby wanted to use elbows on the PVC. Got him to humor me finally and try bending the pipe to show him it will bend and be OK> But his idea will work nicely on the little lettuce bed. The "Plan" is to be gone to the mountains in NM for the summer next year. After last year I now have trouble breathing when it gets up to 100. So am going to try to get some things started early (not good at that) and try to get some good veggies while we are still here. So the little houses I hope will help. I hope. I have tried to start things in the house before, but end up all leggy if they grow at all. I know, "operator error". Thanks.

Mini Cheesecake pans - what else to use them for?

anney, just thought of something else, little noodle puddings. I made these in ramekins and everyone enjoyed them for thanksgiving. BROWNED ONION KUGELS (susanq- GB) Serves 6-8 A kugel is traditionally baked in a single large pan, but using a muffin tin is a bit more elegant - and produces an abundance of tasty browned edges. Serve the kugels as a main brunch dish or an accompaniment to pot roast or baked chicken. *I like to double this recipe for lots of left-overs and use a 9 x 13 ceramic baking dish for family dinners. 6-oz medium egg noodles 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter 3 cups chopped onions (2 large) 1-1/2 cups sour cream 1-1/4 cups small-curd cottage cheese (10-oz) 1 T poppy seeds (can be omitted if you cannot eat seeds) 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2-1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika (optional) Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425F Cook noodles in a 6-8 quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water and drain well. Melt butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat and brush muffin cups with some of butter. Add onions to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until well browned, about 20 minutes. Transfer onions to a large bowl and stir in noodles, sour cream cottage cheese and poppy seeds. Lightly beat eggs with salt and pepper, then stir into noodle mixture until combined well. Divide mixture among muffin cups and bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Loosen edges of kugels with a thin knife and cool kugels in pan 5 minutes before serving.

I am sure it will work! The key to frozen desserts is in the defrosting. I recommend unwrapping and tenting with plastic or saran and defrosting in the refrig. You don't want it to get gooey on top. dry curd cheese is just cottage cheese without the cream added...the beginning of many other cheeses, like blue, cheddar, edam, jack...and surely others.

OREO COOKIES AND CREAM NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE YIELD: Makes 16 mini 2 inch cheesecakes or one 8 inch cheesecake Ingredients: CRUST 1 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar 7 tablespoon unsalted butter(melted) CHEESECAKE 2 ¼ cups heavy cream 1 pound cream cheese, softened 2/3 cup sugar ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 teaspoon vanilla powder ¾ cups Oreo Cookies, crushed Directions: CRUST Combine graham cracker crumbs with sugar. Add melted butter and blend until combined. Press into pan. Set aside. CHEESECAKE Beat heavy cream until medium peaks form. Set aside. Add cream cheese, sugar, salt, vanilla powder, lemon juice to a bowl and beat with a paddle attachment until smooth (approximately 3-5 mins). If you do not have a stand mixer or a paddle attachment a hand beater will work as well, but will take twice as long to achieve a smooth consistency. Add cream cheese mixture to heavy cream and beat until incorporated. Gently fold in Oreo cookies. Fill chosen pan with a slight mound at the center, as the cheesecake will become slightly sunken at the center. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set or overnight for best results. Remove from refrigerator and smooth top to level with edges. Serve with whipping cream and garnish with mini Oreos.

I've made these for years and it is my most requested item in my Christmas Cookie Baskets for the Police and Fire Depts.

Miniature Cheesecakes

2-8 oz pkgs of room temp cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 TBL Vanilla
1 Box Vanilla Wafers (the round ones)

Mix all ingredients. Put wafer in bottom of each Mini Paper Cup. You do need to break off the edges of the wafer to fit inside the bottom of the mini-cup. Fill each mini-cup abt 3/4 full of Cream Cheese mixture. Bake at 400 degress until just turning brown on top maybe 8-10 minutes. These freeze very well, so you can make ahead of time.

NOTE: You can actually use just about any kind of cookie for the crust not just the Nilla Wafers. I've used crumbled chocolate cookies and I think they are better with the chocolate. But even crushed Graham Crackers work well.

I only use about 1/2 cup of sugar...maybe a little more..LOL!
And I butter muffin tins very well...VERY WELL....and grind up some almonds ( or pecans or hazle nuts) in the blender and mix some sugar with the nuts ( some...about 2 T per 1/2 cup of nuts) and put the nuts in the tins and tilt so they coat the butter...dump out if there is a lot of excess....a but extra is good.
Amd I bake at 350 for about 12 to 14 minutes....but these are regular sized muffin tins...Fill pretty well to the top with the cheese cake stuff
I served them today...one recipe made 18.

I just served cheesecake squares at a party that I had frozen for about 1 month. I used my regular cheesecake recipe in a square springform pan. They tasted delicious. You could not tell they were frozen.

Oh...thank you. Tho I had better make sure these ditties are balanced by some good exercise. I also think frozen cheesecake is just fine as it is...a different kind of ice cream!

Linda, do you mean you use nuts instead of crumbs? I don't care for the vanilla wafers tho you can be sure I'd eat em if given to me!!

Lou, ice cream? and do these freeze?

Any baked cheese cake is freezable. Non baked ones no as they have setting agent eg gelatine and this won’t freeze.
