PHILADELPHIA 3-STEP CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until blended. Add eggs; beat just until blended.
• Pour into crust.
• Bake 40 min. or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours.

3-INGREDIENT CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
• Place white chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Mix in cream cheese and egg yolks.
• Beat egg whites in a large glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in the cooled white chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepared springform pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Turn the oven off, leaving cheesecake inside for for a further 15 minutes.
• Remove cheesecake from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. Chill before serving, about 3 hours.

THREE-CHEESE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter 8 x 150ml ramekins. Melt the butter in a pan, then mix in the digestives, walnuts and sugar. Divide the mixture equally between the ramekins, so the base of each is covered with a layer about 1cm thick. Press down lightly on each, then cook in the oven for 10 mins until crisp and golden. Leave to cool, then turn oven down to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2.
• Whisk together all remaining ingredients until you have a smooth mixture. Place the ramekins on a baking tray and pour some mixture into each one, filling to about 1cm below the rim. Carefully slide them into the oven and cook for 25-30 mins until just set. The mixture should give the faintest jiggle in the centre when gently tapped. Don't worry if the mixture falls a little and cracks. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before covering with cling film and putting in the fridge. You can make to this point up to 2 days in advance.
• Make the sauce by gently heating together the sugar and 50ml/2fl oz water until syrupy, about 5 mins. Then stir in half the raspberries and cook for 2 mins until they begin to burst. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove the pips, then toss through the remaining raspberries and leave to cool.
• When ready to serve, remove the cheesecakes from the fridge. Run a knife dipped in hot water around the edges. Invert, one at a time, onto a board, then turn over again onto a serving plate so the biscuit base is on the bottom. Finish by drizzling with raspberry sauce and top with strawberries.

3-STEP PHILADELPHIA MINI CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Place 1 cookie in each of 12 paper-lined muffin cups; top with cream cheese mixture.
• Bake 20 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours. Peel kiwi; cut into 6 slices, then cut each slice in half. Place 1 kiwi piece on each cheesecake. Top with berries.

3 CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Prepare a 10-inch springform pan by wrapping it with a layer of heavy duty alum foil.
• (I would grease the pan, put a round of parchment on the bottom and flour the sides) Cream together ricotta cheese, cream cheese and sugar until smooth (could use a food processor to really smooth out the ricotta).
• Mix in the eggs one at a time.
• Add flour one tablespoon at a time, mixing well.
• Stir in the sour cream and vanilla.
• (I would be sure to mix things slowly and have all ingredients up to room temperature. Don't beat any air into the mixture and be sure it's really smooth when done).
• Pour mixture into pan.
• Place cheesecake in a large rectangular pan filled with 2 inches of hot water.
• Carefully put into preheated oven.
• Bake for 90 minutes.
• After 90 minutes turn oven off, but leave the cake in the oven for another 60 minutes (do not open door).
• Cool on counter for at-least 60 minutes (until room temp) and then refrigerate.
• Serve when thoroughly chilled (overnight).
