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.
