As long as I'm swamping the net with recipes, here one of my favorites!
(also the last for this morn' (I have to find the sandman.)
Mexican Cheese Cake (original source unknown)
======= ====== ====
makes 2 small or one large spring-form pie
this is easer than it sounds, and is
tolerant of most "opps"s and short-cuts
1.5 cups (1 box) chrushed "Zwieback Baby Toats" crumbs
.33 cups sugar
~1 stick butter (melted)
3 egg yokes (save the whites!)
2 envelops unflavored gelatin (Knox)
.5-.7 cups Kalua (Impoted Mexican coffee liqueur) (split)
.5 cups water
1/4 cups sugar
1/8 tea salt
6 oz. cream cheese
reserved part Kalua
3 egg whits
1 cup wipping cream
A: Crust: (Note: 2/3 or 3/4 will be enough for 1 large pie)
Mix crumbs, and sugar. Slowly mix in melted butter.
Form around edge of pan(s). Bake @ 350 F. for ~10 mins. Cool.
(start below AFTER pan is removed from oven.)
B: Cooked Filling:
Beat egg yokes. Disolve gelatin in most of Kalua and water.
Heat slowly, stir constantly, add egg yoke, sugar, salt.
Stir constantly, until "slightly" thick. (Stop when it STARTS
to boil.) Put pan in cold water to cool. Do NOT let it set-up.
(just follow thru the rest at a steady, casual pace)
C: fluffy stuff:
In LARGE bowl beat cream cheese until "fuffy"? (smooth).
Gradually beat in Kalua stuff. Add reseved part of Kalua.
Put bowl back into cold water to cool. Beat egg whites until
"stiff, but not dry" (you have to mix it in, so not "too stiff")
Fold into large bowl. Beat cream until stiff. Fold into large bowl.
Pour into crust. Chill for 30 min's, decorate with chocolate
(shaved or curled) Chill at least 4 hour befor serving.
