For every brick of cream cheese add an egg. For a full cheesecake that be 4 bricks, 4 eggs, and a cup of sour cream. Traditional recipes add a cup of sugar. I find less is more flavor. I used 2/3rd of a cup last week for an Oreo cheesecake. This time for half the recipe for 2 small cheesecakes I did 1/4 cp. sugar plus 1 1/2 Tbls. Honey. The tricky parts are using room temperature cream cheese and mixing it either by hand or on low as possible (so not too much air). At this point add flavoring vanilla for plain. Vanilla and lemon juice of one lemon and it's rind grated for lemon flavored. Or for an Oreo one add the white Oreo creme filling. Then add crushed Oreo crackers with 1/4 cup melted butter for a crust. Or about 1 1/2 cps. Graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cp. melted butter for a plain cheesecake crust. What I did this time was melt 2 Tbls. butter (I halved the recipe) and I ground some pecans and added unsweetened coconut finely grated from Bob's Red Mill, I also added about a healing Tbl of honey (it was very good). Whatever you choose you press it down in your pan. Bake 350 for an hour till it is solid in the middle (it'll slightly jiggle in the middle, cooks as cools) or 45 minutes for small cheesecakes (don't overtake). Cool, chill at least 4 hours, best a day old. Oh and you want a chocolate cheesecake melt dark chocolate chips, cool for a bit and stir into room temperature cream cheese mixture. There, have fun!Elise Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08657785234869089663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169278596535638200.post-48144609295890898462018-07-12T14:52:30.105-04:002018-07-12T14:52:30.105-04:00Lovely photos!

And, perhaps a quick tip for softening that shawl up... Eucalan wool wash has a bit of lanolin in it and I have found it to soften up even the harshest of wools! My second "go to" is Soak Wash... it is a no-rinse wash. AsKatKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176601489544011641noreply@blogger.com
