Doesn't it look yummy? |
So my husband, Richy and I decide that we wanted to make a cheesecake last night. Actually It was all his idea, as he puts it, "I've been dreaming about this cheesecake all week!~" So we made it together. Richy's pretty much an expert when it comes to making things like this because he's made them in the past and they have come out quite good! This time it was more of a "watch and learn" lesson for me. It was pretty easy to make this cheesecake, just a few eggs, butter, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, ricotta cheese and yogurt. I think that's about it. oh, and it had a graham cracker powder crust. If anyone is interested in the "Exact measurement" recipe I'll put it up :) I'm pretty sure I am missing something or other in that list of ingredients I just gave for the cake, and it's probably something important he he...



So after we put all the ingredients into the stand mixer and mixed them up nicely he poured them into a cake pan with the graham cracker crust coating the bottom. After setting the oven to 325, we placed the cake in and left it for 1 hour, then we turned the oven off and let it sit for another hour. Yea, its kinda a long process.. I really thought it was going to be a bit faster but I guess cheese and yogurt take longer to cook and set ?

Ah, having a stand mixer makes life so much easier~! It has made me really develop a love for baking. I think it's kinda funny.. I have only really done like 2 or 3 things myself when it comes to baking and they actually have come out quite well! I've made cookies (and helped out in the making of many a chocolate chip cookie with Richy as the head "Pastry" Chef), bread (which I will get into later) and really decapitated muffins... I guess I can add cheesecake to my list lol!~ but honestly, even though I did help out in the making of this cake, I don't feel like it's truely mine until I have done every piece of it myself. :)
Getting back to the cheesecake here, when the cake was ready and we took it out of the oven, Richy was so excited to taste his masterpiece that in flipping over the cake to put it on a nice plate, it kinda slipped... Swiftly trying to recover the pieces. he managed to save most of it and put it in a bowl. So now, it ceases to be a cheesecake, it's more of a cheesepudding cake type mixture hehehe.. oh well. On the upside, the cake is really really really tasty! I just ate some in a little bowl! which I'm not regretting cause it's 1.02 am and it just hit my stomach like a ton of bricks... urg.. I should know not to eat things after a certain time. ah live and learn..

I made 4-5 cheesecakes in a 2 week window once. I was practicing for National Cheesecake Day... lol... A few things I learned after making so many cheesecakes (the first 3 were NOT that great but Olin never complained when eating them except that I made too much!), I discovered it was best to mix in eggs last to prevent that cracking in the middle! And cooling the cheesecake overnight (yes, like... 8-10 hours of cooling) helps settle it down better to make transferring/moving it easier later.
Hooray for you guys baking together!
@ Naomi - 4-5 cheesecakes~!! wow... Olin was prob eating them out of his ears lol hmm, thanks for the egg tip!! I don't even think Richy knows that one :D and I'm pretty sure the eggs were not mixed in last. Richy was just so darn excited to get the cheesecake in his mouth (o^.^o hehehe he's gonna kill me for that visual) that well, we prob didn't cool it sufficiently. Well, now we know for the next one! My next project! Make the neighbors fat! <3
