    Oh gosh, do I ever. I have a marble cheesecake that I usually keep in the freezer and serve almost frozen, as it tastes like vanilla fudge ice cream. It is amazing. I need to find the original recipe, though I eliminated one step from it, with very little change, if any, in the final result. It calls for a chocolate cookie dough crust (you make it yourself from flour, butter, melted chocolate, which you bake then slightly cool, add the batter (one batter is light and the other mixed with melted chocolate, which is swirled together to marbleize it), then baked. This is so yummy, you will want it all for yourself. Trust me.

    This is a two layer cheesecake – vanilla/chocolate w/chocolate glaze

    It is amazing! Very rich recipe

    Pan :10 ‘ springform

    choc batter

    1 JJ silver package hard cream cheese

    7 1/2 oz farmer cheese

    1 T sour cream

    3/4 cup sugar

    3 eggs

    1 vanilla sugar

    3 T Dark Prem Cocoa

    Melt 1 bar good dairy chocalate (alprose or rosmarine)

    mix and put in pan /freeze overnight or at least 2 hours

    white batter

    same – no cocoa /no chocolate

    bake 350 for 1 hour

    enhancement : bake in water bath

    putsilver foil on bottom of springform

    water in roaster 2 negel vasser cups

    keeps cake moist

    leave in oven a little when dry with oven off

    Caramel topping -double

    1 1/2 bars white milk chocolate (I used dark)

    1/2 teaspoon coffee

    3T Hot Water

    1 t Karo Syrup

    (notes to myself)

    Make sure freeze straight so shape holds

    don’t microwave chocolate too long – as will get grainy

    coffee is what makes the chocolate dark/karo makes it glazy

    chocolate bar needs minimum 90 sec to melt

    prepare coffe/hotwater quickly to mix and pour glaze quickly

    even out top of cake before pouring so u don’t have holes or edges that will hold the chocolate back

    Voila! – I put a flower in the middle and you have got a gorgeous cake!

    “oomis1105, would you be willing to share your cheesecake recipe?”

    With pleasure. I am one of those cooks who loves to share my recipes. Some people don’t but I figure if you like something I made enough to ask for the recipe, it’s a compliment. The cheesecake is only a tad more labor intensive than most recipes, but it is worth it, and it really is not so much extra work. Read recipe thoroughly before beginning.

    Ingredients:

    8 oz. package of chocolate chips

    3/4 c flour plus 1/4 c flour

    1 c plus 2 Tbs. sugar

    1/4 tsp. salt

    1/4 c butter

    24 oz. bar type cream cheese (don’t use low-fat, you’re eating cheesecake, so enjoy it)

    2 Tbs. vanilla

    6 eggs, separated

    1 c sour cream

    Melt chocolate either in a double boiler or the microwave. Stir together 3/4 of the cup of flour, 2 Tbs. sugar, and salt. Add butter, plus 2 heaping Tbs. of melted chocolate. Make into a dough and press into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven. In a large bowl mix the cup of sugar and cheese. Add vanilla, remaining 1/4 c flour, egg yolks, and sour cream. Beat the whites up separately until fluffy, like for a sponge cake. Fold into the cheese batter. Remove 2 cups of the batter and fold in the remaining melted chocolate. Alternate spooning in dollops of chocolate batter and white batter into the pan. Take a knife and cut through the batters, to marbleize. Reduce oven to 300 degrees. Bake for about 1 hour, shut off the heat and leave it in the closed oven for another hour. Chill thoroughly before serving (I like to freeze it, it tastes like vanilla fudge ice cream).

    JAX THANK YOU SO MUCH! You just saved me a mountain of time. I could not find the recipe book that I had this in. Believer, you can believe THIS! It IS a slice of Heaven. And the sterp I have omitted in recent years is the separating of the eggs. It is SLIGHTLY lighter in texture (but really only slightly)if you beat up the whites separately and fold them into the batter. I now only make it non-separated, and it tastes 99.99% the same, just ever so slightly denser (which I happen to prefer anyway). By eliminating the separating and beating up, then folding in the whites, you eliminate about 15-20 minutes worth of work depending on how long it takes you to beat up the whites. I am not known for being great at folding in the beaten whites anyhow, (I never make sponge cakes), so this works for me.

    Best Cheesecake Recipe

    Step 1 (Ingredients)

    Step 2 (Instructions)

    Using an electric mixer beat all the ingredients at a low speed blending in the ingredients 1 (one) at a time.

    When the mixture is smooth and creamy, pour the mixture evenly into the 2 graham cracker crusts and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the closed oven for 20 minutes.

    After 20 minutes, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes.

    Step 3 (Topping)

    Mix together and spread on top of the cheesecake. Bake at 475 degrees for 10 minutes.

    (These cheesecakes can be frozen).

    Enjoy!

    milchig only first night. Since its only for one meal (and its once a year) there’s always SO MUCH FOOD! There’s never room for cheesecake by the time we reach desert. We make an average of 7 cheesecakes anyways (that we end up eating through out the rest of Y”T)!

    #1017221

    lasagna, eggplant parmesan, salmon. cheesecake for kiddush, and one or two meals depending on the year.

    I would love to do Milchigs for the first night and lunch, as Shabbos is fleishig anyway. My family will want a fleish meal the first night, though. I usually make a salmon meal for milchigs, maybe some latkes, mashed potatoes, spinach, and sour cream (TOO GOOD), a milchig lukshen kugel, and of course BLINTZES and cheesecake.

    72, if you share I’ll share…

    getting back on topic,

    Pesto

    fresh basil (hydroponically grown, only needs rinsing)

    fresh garlic to taste

    salt

    pepper (to taste)

    oil (until it forms a spreadable paste)

    you can add parmesan cheese and/or pine nuts. They are not necessary and without the parm its completely pareve. Pine nuts should be toasted to get the most flavor, (I’m not sure how long, I’ve never done it.)

    this was received via email. It is part of another post in the following thread that I encourage everyone to go read:

    Challah Baking Lizecher Nishmas The Mumbai Kedoshim

    Here’s a favorite recipe in my family for a no-bake chessecake that is really easy & it freezes very well!

    Chocolate Cheese Triangle

    1 stick of margarine, softened

    1/2 c sugar

    1 1lb farmer cheese

    1 egg

    few drops of vanilla

    1/2 – 1 tsp lemon juice (opt)

    36 tea biscuits

    Cream together marge & sugar. add cheese, vanilla, lemon juice & egg. beat until smooth.

    Dip biscuits one by one into a bowl of milk, just for a second. Arrange them on a sheet of foil – 3 across, 4 down. Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top. Repeat this twice more. Put your hands under the foil & bring the outer rows to meet in the center, sort of forming a triangle. Refrigerate while making the chocolate drizzle.

    Drizzle:

    1/2 c sugar

    3 3/4 T cocoa

    2.5 T water

    1 t coffee

    3/8 c/ 3oz margarine

    Boil cocoa, sugar, water & coffee until thick. Remove from heat & add margarine, cut in pieces. Beat well. When cool, drizzle generously over cheesecake. Wrap the foil together & freeze, but understand it takes at least an hour to defrost (uncovered.)
