If you have any recipes that you make that are really good or know if any that are really good. Post them here please. Im trying to learn how to cook more things than the usual every day stuff. There is one thing that I make that I can do with my eyes closed that is soooo good. Its Pumpkin Cheesecake.
Here is the recipe for it:
Crust
2 cups crushed graham crackers
Or 2 cups crushed vanilla cookies
Or crushed ginger snap cookies
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup melted butter
Filling
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 - 8 oz. packages cream cheese
3 T flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp. ground (dried) ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 15 oz. can pumpkin or equivalent fresh cooked pumpkin
4 eggs
1 T vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Mix 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and crushed graham crackers or cookies together. Add melted butter and mix until well blended.
3. Using fingers, press crust mixture into bottom and 2/3 of the way up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake crust for about 6 minutes until set.
4. Mix the cream cheese and sugars together until smooth.
5. Stir together the flour and spices and mix this into the cream cheese mixture.
6. Beat the eggs into the cream cheese mixture one at a time.
7. Beat in the pumpkin and vanilla.
8. Pour filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for about 1 1/2 hours or until a cake tester comes out clean.
9. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least two hours (or overnight) before serving. Cake can even be made two days in advance.
Its so good, espcially like at Thanksgiving!
