New York Eggy Cheesecake

 


Perfection

Ingredients: 

Crust: 

1 cup graham crackers crushed 

1 cup of pecans crushed 

5 tablespoons of sugar, or monk fruit, or Stevie, or a combination of each

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon 

6 tablespoons of butter melted

Mix all the ingredients together and pat down in the bottom and sides of a cheesecake pan or 9" baking pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 8 minutes and then take out to cool.

 Filling ingredients: 

24 ounces of cream cheese 

1 cup of sugar or sugar substitute for baking 

1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

1 tablespoon of lemon or lemon zest (grated lemon rind)

5 eggs

1/4 cup of heavy cream 

2 tablespoons of sugar or monk fruit, or Stevie or a combination of each

First mix the following with your hand blender or mixer: 

24 ounces of cream cheese 

1 cup of sugar or monk fruit or Stevie or a combination of each

Add-in: 

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract 

1 tablespoon of lemon juice or grated peel

then take 5 eggs and separate the yolks and whites 

Mix the 5 egg yolks into the cream cheese mixture and blend. 

In a separate bowl whip, the egg whites with two tablespoons of sugar or monk fruit, or Stevie or a combination of each until firm, and then fold and mix with the cheesecake batter. 

Bake in the preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 75 minutes. It should be a mix of brown on top. Take out and let cool. 

I like to zap some frozen organic strawberries in the microwave (or stove if you prefer) for the topping along with some homemade whipping cream.

Homemade Whipping Cream 

2 cups of heavy cream 

3 tablespoons of sugar or monk fruit, or Stevie or a combination of each

Whip with your blender until firm. Serve on top of the strawberries or topping of your choice.

Cooking at Home During Quarantine

I like cooking, but I can't wait to be able to go out, sit at a table in a restaurant, order, eat, and enjoy family and friends. The only thing I won't like is the bill, but it will be so worth it. During this quarantine, if you have the funds and can help out your favorite local eateries, do so. They are struggling and take-out orders can help keep them in business.

Homemade Vanilla Bean Extract

Ingredients: 10 Vanilla bean stalks 1 L. Bottle of Vodka Have you ever tried to make vanilla bean extract homemade? I just did! I am so excited about the project and I'm hoping for a tasty outcome. Here is a picture of my jar, along with 10 grade A Madagascar bourbon cured vanilla bean stalks sitting straight up and not bent. I ordered them from a company selling on Amazon. They are not cheap but in the long run, I believe they will be worth the money. The clear liquid is from a full bottle of vodka. I may have a lot of explaining to do when my husband finds the empty vodka bottle in our recycling bin. Vanilla Bean Extract I also ordered a glass leak-proof swing top cap jar that is slightly taller than the vanilla bean stalks so the liquid will fully cover them. Now, I just need to place the jar in the pantry waiting for the vanilla beans to flavor the vodka and change it into vanilla bean extract.  This will take months, but I believe it is well worth the effort.
