Good Cheesecake Recipes?!
Answers: Does anyone have some good cheescake recipes that i could try? Thanks!!!
Here's one that's been in our family for years:
DINAH SHORE CHEESECAKE
CRUST:
1 3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c. finely chopped walnuts
1/2 c. melted butter
FILLING:
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. Philadelphia cream cheese
3 eggs
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. sour cream
Mix crust ingredients. Remove 3 tablespoons for topping. Press remaining on bottom and up sides of 9" spring form pan.
Combine eggs, cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Blend in sour cream.
Pour into crust. Top with reserved crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Chill 4 to 5 hours before serving.
I also make an amazing chocolate capuccino cheesecake with a chocolate crust and whipped cream on top when it's served, but the recipe's a bit labor-intensive. Have been making it for years as well. People go nuts over it. I got the recipe originally from the AllRecipes recipe site. Here's the link for that one. It's a-mazing!!

check kraftfoods.com or bettycrocker.com
They have all kinds of flavored ones too!
I made an amazing Chocolate Espresso Swirl Cheesecake for Christmas, and everyone liked it so much I had to make another one for New Year's!
I found the recipe by googling around and reading comments about posted recipes, and also by going with what sounded good. Like if you're a fan of the tangy cheesecakes, you definitely want a recipe that calls for sour cream, but if you like the sweeter cheesecakes, go for a recipe that doesn't have the sour cream.
Good Luck!! : )
COUNTRY CHEESECAKE
DOUGH:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons dairy sour cream
FILLING:
4 eggs
1 egg white
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 pounds of farmers or ricotta cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons grated orange or lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make the dough, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives cut the butter into the flour mixture leaving a coarse and crumbly texture (mixture will contain some lumps).
In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks into the sour cream. Stir the beaten egg yolks into the dough mixture. Knead in the bowl until mixture begins to form a dough and is well mixed. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate one to two hours.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 13 x 9 x 2" pan in approximately I 15 x 11" rectangle.
Line the bottom of the pan with the dough, stretching to fit so that it comes up to about two thirds of the way up the sides of the pan.
For the filling, beat the eggs and egg white at high speed of electric mixer until thick. Add the sugar gradually, continuing to beat at high speed until egg whites are stiff, but not dry, and peaks form.
Press the cheese through a sieve or potato ricer or pulse in food processor. Fold gently into beaten egg white mixture.
Add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly, but gently so as not to deflate the egg whites.
Turn the cheese filling into the dough lined pan.
Bake at 350F for 40 minutes or until set.
Cool and cut into squares.
