Christmas Cheesecake
This is a cheesecake that I have been doing for over 20 years, if you follow the recipe of the “T” will have no problem, it is also colorful and the most wonderful part of mass you have put on your mouth.
1 1 / 4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
2 pounds cream cheese
1cup sugar
8 ounces sour cream
2 eggs
1cup flour
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
2 cup chopped candied cherries red and green raisins total, walnuts, candied pineapple
½ cup small chocolate
In a mixing bowl place 2 pounds 5 quarts of cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar and beat on low speed until the cream cheese is soft and smooth, place in a bowl 8 oz sour cream and continue stirring until well blended, this time, add 2 eggs, mix for 2 minutes, then add 1 cup of flour and 3 / 4 cup cream and mix on second speed until the batter is smooth and creamy cheesecake. At this point, your cheese mixture should be soft, like ice cream, which leaves the ice cream machine.
Add the candied fruit, raisins, walnuts, pineapple, chocolate, fold everything together.
Prepare your 10 inch x 2 inch spring form pan in a large bowl place your graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons sugar, and your melted butter or margarine, then with a whisk, beat them until good combo, brush the sides of your spring form pan a little softened butter so the crumbs have something to hold, put the crumbs on the sides and bottom of the pan.
Now that you slowly add to pot the cheese mixture as not to disturb the crumbs too, now you should have a pot full.
The total weight of the cheesecake with the crumbs of the sides should be 5 to 5-1/4 pounds if you have any leftover dough just cool, put some cream on it and enjoy.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees and no more, when the oven is hot, add the cheese and bake it for 55 minutes, then turn the oven off and leave it there for three hours, after this time you should have the Most beautiful cheesecake you’ve ever seen, leave the cheese on the table for 1 1 / 2 hours then place it in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. Now remove it from the pan and enjoy.
Before serving, sprinkle some red and green edible glitter that you can buy at any store that has decorative material.
