Caramel Cheesecake II


This is another recipe for Caramel Cheesecake that I came across a while ago and decided to try out. It's a little bit harder than the previous one I posted.. and might I add..yummier !

try it out..


Serves 10 to 12

Ingredients:

Gingersnap crust

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1&1/2 cups ground gingersnap cookies
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons golden brown sugar

Cheesecake

4 packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Caramel topping

1&1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup heavy whipping cream



Method:

For gingersnap crust

- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray bottom of 9-inch springform pan with 2&1/2-inch-high sides with nonstick spray.
- Stir ground cookies, butter, and sugar in medium bowl until moist clumps form.
- Press cookie mixture firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Wrap outside of pan with 3 layers of heavy-duty foil.
- Bake crust until firm and beginning to darken, about 14 minutes. Cool crust. Maintain oven temperature.

For cheesecake

- Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Beat in butter, then eggs, 1 at a time, until just blended. Beat in vanilla.
- Pour batter over crust in pan. Place springform pan in large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake cake uncovered until filling is puffed around edges and moves slightly in center when pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
- Remove pan from water; remove foil. Place hot cheesecake uncovered in refrigerator overnight.

For caramel topping

- Stir sugar, water, and lemon juice in large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
- Increase heat; boil without stirring until mixture turns deep amber, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with wet pastry brush, about 9 minutes.
- Add cream (mixture will bubble). Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until reduced to 1&1/4 cups, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
- Chill until thickened but still pourable, about 15 minutes.

Spoon caramel over top of cake just to edges (do not allow caramel to drip down sides). Chill at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.

Run knife around pan sides to loosen cake; release pan sides.


Enjoy...

Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies


















I have tried more than a dozen different recipes for chocolate chip cookies, but I was looking for something specific; something a little more nostalgic.. an aroma and taste that brings back childhood memories.

This recipe fits! I mean it's perfect! nothing less or more than a simple soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie... no additions... no extra flavors, just plain simple and classic.


Just the way I like'em....



Ingredients:


2&1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips


Method:


1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

2. Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Try it.. it's yummy..
