Villa Market carries castor sugar. What are "nips" of Bailey's? New term to me.

 

And, probably most important, lvdkeyes, what do you think of this recipe?

 

While we're at it, lvdkeyes, do you have a recipe for real New York cheesecake, like you would find in a deli?

I believe nips are a small shot or splash. I dont usually use measures that small

Caster sugar is just superfine sugar. My opinion of the recipe? I am not a fan of alcohol flavors in my cheesecake. As TOQ said a nip is just a small sip. Haven't you heard of a "nip of gin? I will have to dig out my NY cheesecake recipe and post it later. I will also post my favorite cheesecake that comes from a defunct bakery/restaurant in Chicago.

Perfect! I'm looking forward to trying them both.

Having tasted his deserts before, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, lvdkeyes is the best cook in Pattaya. (brown nose post to try to get in on the testing phase)

Cheesecake from Little Jack's Restaurant (defunct) in Chicago. My favorite!

 

CRUST

3/4 cup golden raisins

2 cups water

8 double graham crackers, crushed, plus addition crumbs for garnish

2-3 tablespoons melted butter

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

 

FILLING

8 ounces ricotta cheese, at room temperature

1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup sugar

6 large eggs

1 cup half and half (You may substitute 4-1/2 teaspoons melted butter plus enough whole milk to equal 1 cup.)

1 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan.

Combine raisins with water and microwave for 1-2 minutes to plump. Drain and pat dry.

 

CRUST

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar and cinnamon. Lightly press into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Sprinkle with the raisins.

 

FILLING

In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric mixer, beat the ricotta and cream cheese together on low speed until well combined.

Add the sugar gradually, beating well. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Very slowly beat in half and half, sour cream and vanilla and mix thoroughly.

Pour over the crust. Bake 1 1/4 to 1/2 hours. Check after 1 hour. The top will turn golden brown and the filling will be set.

Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Remove from pan.

If desires, press extra graham cracker crumbs on sides and top of cake.

Chill before serving

 

Serves 12

 

 

 

New York Cheesecake

 

CRUST

 

15 graham crackers, crushed

2 tablespoons butter, melted

 

FILLING

4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

1 1/2 cups white sugar

3/4 cup milk

4 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.

 

CRUST

In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.

 

FILLING

In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.

 

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.

What are "nips"?

Decades ago in Scotland, the pubs used to close at 10:00pm. It was the custom of the time to end a drinking session with "a nip and a chaser", the nip being a shot of whisky downed in one. This was then "chased" by a half-pint of beer - often also downed in one!

As promised:

Thank you very much. I can't wait to try both of them.

 

I have two questions:

 

1. Do you know where I can buy a springform pan?

 

2. In both recipes you say to bake in a preheated oven. I have no idea what the temperature should be. What is your recommendation?

The kitchen shop on Second Rd. has springform pans.

 

Both recipes tell you to preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a fast disappearing part of Jewish east London - Brick Lane,(now commonly referred to as Banglatown because when the Jewish immigrants moved away, the Bangladeshi immigrants moved in), there are still a couple of Jewish bakeries/beigel shops. They do a mean cheese cake, very similar to ones I tasted in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Would anyone happen to have a recipe for a traditional Jewish cheesecake that is easy to prepare?

Not having had cheesecake in Israel, I am not sure how it is different from NY cheesecake.

Both recipes tell you to preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Merci. I don't know how I managed to miss that, but I did. Ok, I do know where the Kitchen shop is, so they're about to sell a springform pan.

This discussion reminds me of a time in my youth. A friend invited me to go to a gay biker bar to meet some

masculine men. What I found was men dressed up in motorcycle garb and sharing quiche recipes.

At that time, it wasn't what I was expecting.

 

Now, I realize that sharing a good recipe is a whole lot of fun!

Thanks lvdkeyes - the New York one sounds like it could be quite similar

Welcome, anytime I can help give me a shout.

I was in True Value on Sukhumvit just south of Theppasit Rd today and they have springform pans of better quality that the ones I bought at the kitchen shop. More expensive too, I think they are 350 baht.
