I tried this recipe last night, came out nice. next time may add some vanilla seeds and glaze with lemon curd to boompf up the flavour

INGREDIENTS: For an 18cm-diameter cake
-Cream cheese (philadelphia style): 250 g
-Fresh cream: 1 cup/200 ml
-Eggs: 2
-Sugar: 80 g
-All purpose flour: 3 large tablespoons
-Lemon juice: 2 large tablespoons
For the base:
-Biscuites (or crackers of your choice): 90 g
-Unsalted butter: 40 g

-Put biscuits/crackers inside a tight seal vynil pouch. Close. Crush until fine.
Take crumbs out and mix with melted unsalted butter.
Lay cooking paper inside a cake mold.
Spread crumbs on the bottom . Press with masher for uniformity and solidity.
-Soften cream cheese inside microwve oven for 30 seconds~1 minute.
Divide into 3 or 4 parts.
-In a mixer/blender drop eggs, sugar, lemon juice and flour. Mix well.
Pour in fresh cream and then cream cheese little by little. Mix well. Stir with a spatula from time to time to help.
-Pour the cheese cake mixture over the crumbs.
Preheat oven at 170 degrees and bake for 40~45 minutes.
The colour should be a nice brown-orange. In Japan they say “kitsune iro/fox colour”!
Leave inside the mold.
Let it cool completely.
Leave inside the fridge at leat 12 hours. before unmolding and serving.
For better cutting, wipe the knife clean after every cut!
If the cake attains its colour before the cooking time has elapsed, cover with foil paper and put back into the oven.
In the case colour does come quickly enough raise the oven temperature.

Yummy I love cheesecake!!! :D :D :D

hmmm......might have to try that.
I made a cheesecake last week! Came out yummy!
Just forgot to put a pan of water in the oven with it so the top cracked :(

I've never done a cheesecake before, so I liked this recipe as I couldn't be bothered with all the kerfuffle of using pan of water! It came out completely smooth on top, and has a lighter texture than the usual cheescake. reminded me almost of an egg custard tart

I don't put the spring pan in water. I just put a pan of water on the rack under the rack that the cheesecake sits on.
I've also found that if I "settle" the pan...you know drop it a little to get bubbles out and what not, sometimes that helps with the cracking too. BUT, in all the years I have been making cheesecake, ONLY ONE has come out without ANY cracks. Most will have just a faint little crack if I put the pan of water in.

I always top mine with pie filling or jam, so if there are cracks, who's to know?

Sounds delicious
