Recipes for Cheesecake.
A cheesecake is a baked cheese custard (with egg), or an unbaked cheese confection without egg. There are many recipes for this dessert with ingredients varying from cream cheese to ricotta cheese to a healthier cottage cheese (for a 'lighter' version). Some cheesecakes have a crust comprised of crushed cookies, (ranging from the traditional graham cracker crust, a shortbread crust, chocolate cookie crust-the possibilities are endless) and some cheesecakes have no crust. Once the basic recipe and technique is learned, the cheesecake can then serve as a base for many variations.
