New York Style Cheesecake Splenda Version Food

THE BEST NEW YORK-STYLE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium bowl until evenly moistened.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Cool completely on a rack. Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the pan with foil and place in a roasting pan.
• For the filling: Add the cream cheese to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy. Gradually add the cream, beating until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt and beat just until combined, taking care not to over whip. Pour into the crust.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven (don't pull the rack out of the oven). Pour enough hot water in the roasting pan to come about halfway up the side of the foil-wrapped springform pan.
• Bake until the top of the cheesecake is lightly browned around the edges, but the center still jiggles slightly, about 2 hours.
• Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a rack. Run a knife around the edges and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• Bring the cheesecake to room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. Dip a knife in warm water and wipe dry before slicing each piece.

NEW YORK STYLE CHEESECAKE- SPLENDA VERSION

Steps:

• Preheat over to 325°F.
• Wrap a 10" springform pan with aluminum foil and then spray the inside with a non stick cooking spray. (You have to cook the cake in a water bath and the aluminum foil creates an extra layer of protection between pan and water).
• Melt butter and cool.
• Add Ricotta and cream cheese to mixer and beat till smooth and creamy.
• Add Splenda to mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, till incorporated.
• Add the eggs one at a time to mixture and continue to mix on low.
• Sift Flour and cornstarch together, then add to mixture on low speed. beat for 30 seconds.
• Add Lemon Juice and Vanilla, beat 15 seconds.
• Add Butter, beat for 10 seconds.
• Add Sour Cream, beat for 15 seconds, make sure to scrape sides as needed.
• Put springform pan into larger baking pan and pour mixture into pan. It will go all the way to top, but don't worry.
• Pour hot water into outer baking pan, till it goes about 1/2 way up springform pan.
• Bake on center rack about 1-1/2 hours. The center should be slightly jiggly.
• Remove from oven, take out of bath, remove foil and cool completely on rack.
• Once cooled, Put in fridge for at least 8 hours.
• When your ready to serve, you should just be able to open side of springform pan and serve. if the sides do stick, just run a butter knife around the edges, but since I started using Splenda, I never have to do that for some reason.
• Note: when baking the cake, at times, it will rise above the top of pan and split open, don't worry, when you take it out to cool, it will fall slightly and all go back together.
