I have been on a baking spree for the past year or so. Yesterday I decided to tackle a cheesecake for the first time. I scoured the Internet for easy recipes. Thanks to Joe I found a really good one from Michael, but alas I had no cupcake thingies. Argh.
What I ended up doing is taking some things from a combo of different recipes, and substituting Swedish stuff here and there. This is the final outcome...
Crust:
Roll of Kex (kind of like graham crackers mated with vanilla wafers)
2 dl melted butter (about a cup)
Crumble the cookies and mix it with the melted butter. Smash into a pan. I used a big round pie pan.
Filling:
450g Cream Cheese (ehhh about 16 oz, give or take... I winged it)
2.5 dl sugar (about a cup & 1/4)
1dl Baking Cocoa (1/3 to 1/2 cup, give or take)
1 tbs Vanilla
2 eggs
Mix all that together with an electric mixer, adding the eggs one at a time. Meaning blend the first egg into it completely, then the other.
Pour into the crust.
Bake 50 min at 190C/ 375F
Topping:
1/4C sugar
1C kesse (sour cream, yoghurt, creme fraiche.. whatever)
1tbsp Vanilla
Mix all that together while the pie is baking. After the 50 minutes, spread this over the top then put the cheesecake back into the oven for another 10 minutes.
Let cool 24 hours, or 3 hours in the fridge.
Tada!
It doesn't look all that pretty, but man oh man does it ever taste good!
