Cheesecake Recipes

CHEESECAKE RECIPES
For either recipe use a 9 or 10 inch spring foam pan

1. Philadelphia Cream Cheese recipe

3 bricks of cream cheese (250g)
3 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla

crust: follow the recipe on the box of graham or oreo cookie crumbs

cream together cream cheese and sugar, beat in eggs one at a time, add vanilla. bake at 350 until the top is set (about 45 mins- an hour)....to avoid cracks on the top of the cheesecake bring cream cheese and eggs to room temperature before mixing together.

2. My favourite recipe (which i combined a few different recipes to create--although I'm sure it already existed somewhere out there)
3 packages cream cheese (250g)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (i think they're somewhere between 11-14 oz)
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

crust: follow recipe on box of graham or oreo cookie crumbs

cream together cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk, beat in eggs one at a time, add in vanilla. bake at 350 for 45 minutes (approx). for best results cream cheese and eggs should be at room temperature

VARIATIONS:

vanilla--leave recipe as is (duh)chocolate--melt 4 squares of semi-sweet chocolate in microwave and add to cream cheese mixture (i usually top a chocolate cheesecake with cherry pie filling and chocolate shavings OR fresh/frozen raspberries)

chocolate chip-- add 1-2 cups of milk chocolate chips (depending how many chocolate chips you want in)

marble--divide cream cheese mixture in two, melt 2 squares of semi-sweet chocolate and add to one of the bowls. Pour the vanilla cream cheese mixture into pan, add the chocolate mix in dollops on top of vanilla mix, use a knife to swirl it around...

There are other variations and other recipes....let me know if there's something specific you want to try (flavour wise) and I'll let you know if I have a recipe. Enjoy!
