I was craving for some cheesecake and wanted it fast. I searched Recipezaar and found this short recipe and decided to give it a try.
It turned out pretty great!
It was finished within 24 hours and my mom kept bugging me to make another one and so I did and this time I took pics. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
crushed graham crackers for crust + 2 tbsp. melted butter
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract ( I used 1 teaspoon)
2 eggs
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare 8-inch spring form pan. ( I used two 4-inch pans)
Mix crushed graham crackers and melted butter.
Beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add vanilla.
Add eggs one at a time.
Pour onto crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Turn off oven and prop open the oven door and leave cheesecake for 30 minutes. Refrigerate overnight.
oh this is yummy!! perfect to the beat the heat of the summer
I just found your blog from Tastespotting and I’m happy to see that someone so young is into food and baking and cooking. I’m adding you to my (ever-expanding) bookmarks.
And the cheesecake looks really good.
Dhanggit – yup! all it needs are berries and its good to go!
Ronnissweettooth – I’m happy to have found the world of food blogging! haha Thanks for dropping by!
Looks great. I want cheesecake now, how do I fit that in with my diet!
Did you only put crumbs on the bottom of your pan? Also, did you pre-bake the crumbs? It is so pretty. I will make it soon. Thanks, Melissa
Joejhorn – thanks!
Melissa – I mixed the crushed grahams with melted butter. And nope I didn’t pre-bake the crumbs.
Thanks!
Just made this yesterday, turned out great.
One thing to include is the proverbial wisdom to place a saucepan of water in the oven with the cheesecake once you get to the “prop open” phase, so that it doesn’t crack and split like whoa.
Also, I looked up someone else’s graham cracker crust recipe; it called for about 5 tbsp of butter and some sugar to boot, which worked nicely.
Otherwise, a great and simple recipe that makes a killer cheesecake!
(I also 1.5 times-ed all the ingredients, and had it fit in my 9″ springform.)
Thanks!
Chris – Thanks for the advise! I shall try that the next time I’ll make this. Thanks also for trying it out!
With regard to that, remember to enter at a level that
matches up to your skill. By breaking football down into short bursts of its
most exciting and rewarding elements, like long-range shots and Hollywood passes,
and tying that into a shallow but addictive management sim, New Star Soccer completely
took over my free time. 5) Go to a championship game: Whether it is
at collegiate or pro level, championships always have a
special energy in the air (conference tournaments included).
