Lori’s Cheesecake

Sinked

 
Lori! Ow yeah, she’s my favorite foodie girl. Her cheesecake, awesome. And surprisingly, the easiest cheesecake recipe I’ve ever made. If au bain marie is not your cup of tea, this recipe is.
 
A definite keeper. A champion one.
 
Ow, before I forgot, mine was without crust and chocolate. I baked it in muffin pan, perfect as a cheesecake-to-go. Plain cheesecake, damn good.

Lori’s Cheesecake
(Adapted by Riana)
 
2 cups plain crackers, crushed into crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2-8 oz. packages of cream cheese, softened (+/- 500 gr)
1-14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk (+/- 384 gr)
3 eggs, room temperature
4 oz bittersweet/semisweet chocolate
 
Yes, It Is

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Mix together cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter until mixture is wet (or pulse in a food processor until crumbs clump together) and begins to stick together. Spread mixture evenly in a 9 inch spring-form pan and press down firmly. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 300F.
  4. Melt chocolate into a medium sized bowl.
  5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add eggs, one by one, beating each until fully incorporated. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the bowl with the melted chocolate and stir well. Pour chocolate and plain batters into the prepared pan, evenly distributing and alternating batters.

    6.  

    Forked!

     

  6. Bake cheesecake for 50-55 minutes. It will not look totally firm when done; it will jiggle. The whole cake should jiggle evenly, though the center might be a bit looser.
  7. Cool cheesecake at room temperature for at least 1 hour before refrigerating. Refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
  8. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

 
Serves 12
 

Tribute to Lori

 
Note:

  • The texture was a little bit different than the one baked au bain marie. It was dense, a bit crumbly and sinked in the middle. But mind you, it was NOT at all dry like it looks. It’s moist, soft, and oh-so-good.
  • The cake won’t be as tall as the batter, as the middle part will sink. Mind that before choosing your pan size.

    Mbak Riana, kalo 2cups plain crackers itu kira2 berapa gr yah crackersnya? 2cups sebelum di crushed atau 2 cups itu masih utuh?
    pengen bikin nih.. hehe..
    Thanks ya Mbak Ri..

    Hmmm… gimana kalo diukur aja pake cangkir kopi? hehehe.. soalnya berat crackers bisa beda-beda kan, tergantung jenis biskuit yang dipakai. ——-Riana

    eh salah.. maksudnya 2cups dalam keadaan udah di crushed atau masih utuh :D

    Supaya bisa diukur pake cangkit, dicrush lah.. ———Riana

    Assalamualaikum Mbak Riana,
    Saya suka akan blog kamu, sungguh menarik, dan buatkan saya terpaku di depan laptop saya ni, excellent, dan untuk kamu mbak riana, well done..izinkan saya linkkan blog kamu pada blog saya ya..saya lela dari Malaysia. Menarik picture kamu, kamu kelihatan seperti pro dalam menggamvil gambar, Mbak Riana, kamu guna camera apa ya? adakah camera yang kamu guna adalah camera DSLR? jika tak keberatan boleh kamu kongsi cerita tentang camera kamu yg bagus itu? Thanks..

    Kameraku keluaran jaman dahulu kala, Canon Powershot A95. Hanya pocket saja *blushing*
    Baru hendak beli DSLR, uangnya terpakai lagi, hahaha.. sekarang nunggu tabungan terisi lagi.
    Terimakasih sudah singgah :) ———-Riana

    Mbak Riana, itu bermakna kamu bagus mengendalikan camera yg kamu miliki. Saya hanya guna digital compact yg biasa, jenama SONY, model DSC-W200.
    apapun jenis camera tu, yang penting “behind the camera”, right Riana? Insyaallah kalau cukup wang, saya teringin bangat mau miliki DSLR, maybe CANON, maybe NIKON,sekarang hanya fokus pada barang yg utama dulu.

    Wehhh…chizkeik baru lagi :) *siap-siap nyontek lage*. Aku seneng banget loh mbak, liat2 resep di sini, fotonya bagus2, ada tips n trik dan meskipun cake susah, tapi kalo petunjuknya dibaca dgn seksama kok ya bisa juga. Btw, masa sih mbak kameranya pake pocket? Ahh gak percaya…fotonya bagus2 banget, pake mode manual ya *duhh…blm bisa*…

    Beneeeerrr, cuma punya pocket kok.. ———Riana

    Mbak Rianaaaa… seneng bisa mampir lagi ke sini…
    Are you serious Mbak, pake Canon Powershot A95 ambil gambar2nya? Gimana mbak cara set aperture dan shutter speednya? lalu super macro gitu kumaha ya caranya…

    love cheese cake..jadi ngiler.. padahal lagi fasting *hiks*

    iya bener, punyanya cuma itu :)
    settingnya? halah, panjang nih. Apperture paling kecil (bukaan paling lebar), shutter menyesuaikan, iso rata2 pake 200 atau 50 sekalian, pake tripod, mode macro. Kameraku gak ada super macro, cuma macro biasa aja.
    Bikin buat buka puasa :)
