Tall and Creamy Cheesecake

The final recipe for December’s Tuesday with Dorie is Tall and Creamy Cheesecake. It was chosen by Anne Strawberry and can be found on pages 235-237 of Baking From my home to yours. I can describe this cheesecake in one word, Delicious. I wasn’t all that excited about making this recipe but I’m really glad I did. It wasn’t that I don’t like cheesecake, because I do. I think that I just wasn’t in the mood for one more rich dessert and besides I have a perfectly good recipe for cheesecake that I have been using for years and I really didn’t need a new one. Let me say I was wrong on both counts.


I followed the basic recipe with a graham cracker crust. I used half cream and half sour cream. The taste was pure and very creamy. The texture was not as dense as the cheesecake I usually make but I think that I prefer it. The recipe takes a while to prepare with the mixing, baking, cooling and chilling but it was worth the effort. As for the calories, I don’t even want to think about it but I will be making this again.

I'm with you on not thinking about the calories, but this recipe is so worth it, isn't it? Your cheesecake is so beautiful. What a lovely finish for the TWD year!

It looks perfect! Good job getting through it even though you weren't enthused.
