Today I’m attempting to make my first cheesecake. I’m using a recipe created by Ken.
I had been thinking of making cheesecake for a little while since two people I know randomly expressed Great Cheesecake Lust. And then, lo! Harris Teeter had the good cream cheese on sale.
The project had an inauspicious start as I realized I baked the crust at too high a temperature. I haven’t smelled any burning aromas, however, so I might be safe.
This really is a full day project, and I was not sure how to time it right. I just finished the final baking step and it is now cooling. At this point it might be chilled enough for a midnight snack. Barring that, cheesecake for breakfast sounds delicious and nutritious.

Sounds like something that lends itself to a spreadsheet…
I have always been intimidated by the springform pan and the crust on cheesecake. Whenever my mom would make one, it always seemed like there was almost not enough crust to make it around the sides of the pan.
I did like how she would melt apple jelly , brush it on top of the cake and then stick strawberries to it, though - simple and festive!
