Yup! Only the second time in my entire life that I’ve ever made Cheesecake. I had no idea where to start, so I turned to my girl Martha, Martha Stewart that is. I kinda-sorta followed the recipe, but I remembered that the first time I did this, the recipe made me TWO HUGE CHEESECAKES!!
AND I didn’t have quite enough Cream Cheese this time around. I had three blocks left over from my Carrot Cake frenzy of this past Spring. When I checked the “use by” dates on them it was all hands on deck!
My changes were 3 bricks of Cream Cheese instead of SEVEN, 3 eggs rather than 5 and half of what was called for all of the ingredients for the filling. The crust was a standard crust recipe off the box of the Graham Cracker Crumbs, simple.
It came out very dense and not as sweet, I really liked it better actually.
That’s a lot of Cheesecake for two people though, so I frozen probably half the cake, in slices, for later.
