HOW TO BAKE A PERFECT CHEESECAKE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Hints Cheesecakes

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—–RITA TAULE BTVC62A—–
—–TIPS FROM RITA—–

1. Wrapping the pan with foil keeps it watertight.

2. If you grease the sides of the pan first, the surface will not crack when
the cake starts to shrink on cooling. (It always shrinks a little).

3. Chill thoroughly before unmolding. In fact, I make my cheesecakes one day
ahead of serving and leave it in the springform till I’m ready to use it.

4. The water bath pan must NOT be higher than the springform pan or it will
slow down baking. Also, put no more than 1″ of water in the pan.

5. Check oven temperature for accuracy.

6. When cheesecake is done, turn oven off, DO NOT OPEN DOOR, let sit for 1
hour. Then remove, place on a rack, and let cool to room temperature (about 1
hour). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

7. Use 1 Tablespoon cornstarch per 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese. Use
Philadelphia brand cream cheese. It is the best and works EVERY time.

8. IMPORTANT: Use the egg size specified. If none is specified, use large
(not jumbo or extra-large) size.

Reetz says if all of these tips are followed, you should have a fabulous,
non-falling cheesecake. She had to research all of this great information
because as she says “cause I hate to tell you this – but, I get a perfect
cheesecake every time.” And I don’t doubt that for a minute, Reetz. Liz Jones

Title: Tropical Banana Freeze
Categories: Snacks
Servings: 6

70 Calories per 1/2 cup; a
-large egg, 80 calories; the
-banana, 100

Put very ripe unpeeled bananas in a plastic bag in the freezer. Remove as
needed to make this easy blender drink or dessert:

Remove 1 banana from the freezer and allow it to defrost just enough to
remove the peel. Cut the partly-thawed, peeled banana into chunks and put
it in the blender or food processor with a few drops of vanilla extract and
coconut flavoring. Add skim milk or low-fat yogurt and blend smooth. A
small amount of milk or yogurt will create a “frozen custard.” Add more
milk or yogurt for a milkshake. Add a whole egg for a high-protein instant
breakfast or lunch. (Top with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired.)

Skim milk has approximately 45 calories per 1/2 cup; plain low-fat yogurt,
calories.
