Aunt Alda's Cheesecake Recipe May 24, 2012 2:34 pm by M.J. </member/mj-0>
I have a few of Aunt Alda's recipes and today I would like to share her cheesecake recipe..You can follow this as I have before with success or try it my way.. I decided this was a good time to try it with a different twist. I will post the recipe as the original. : Enjoy! Happy Baking 2-- 8 oz. Pkg. Cream cheese softened 1 lb. Ricotta 1 ½ cups sugar 1 stick margarine 5 eggs 1 large container sour cream (15 oz.) 3 tablespoons cornstarch 3 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 tablespoons lemon juice Cream margarine, sugar and cream cheese. Add Ricotta and 5 eggs.. Add cornstarch, flour and sour cream beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and lemon juice to mixture beating well until all is blended.. Butter spring form pan and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.. Pour mixture slowly into pan and bake 325 approx. 1 hour 10 minutes.. Cool on wire rack.. Serve alone or with favorite topping. I have made this recipe with success as is but wanted to change it a bit so I did the following: *Note: *I wanted to add a little twist to Aunt Alda's recipe so I separated my eggs, beat the egg whites separately and added them to the mixture at the very end, hoping to get a lighter cheesecake.. I also used butter instead of margarine in my recipe and used a cooking spray to coat pan before sprinkling with the graham cracker crumbs. My final opinion is stick to Aunt Alda's way of making this cheesecake. My way was a little too soft but very light..so if you like soft and light make it my way but if you like dense cheesecake make it Aunt Alda's way... To make sure your cheesecake is set leave the cheesecake in your refrigerator overnight before you take it out of the spring form pan.
