First prepare the crust. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F, then dry the bread slices in the oven until they are hard enough to crumble easily, (about 20 to 25 minutes). Meanwhile melt the butter. Crush the bread, making about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs. Add the butter and the sugar and mix very well. Press the crumbs into the pie tin. Raise the oven temperature to 35o degrees F. and bake the crust fro 15 minutes. Allow to cool before filling. Then prepare the filling. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the gelatin with the water and cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is clear (about 6 to 8 minutes). Cool. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and smooth. Mash the blue cheese well and combine with the cream cheese. Pour the gelatin mixture into the bowl with the cheese and mix well. Whip the cream until stiff and fold into the cheese mixture. Pour the filling gently into the prepared crust. Press the grapes upright into the pie, leaving the tops showing. Chill the pie for several hours or until set. NOTE: Since there is no sugar in this recipe, all the sweetness comes from the grapes, it is not as sweet as a cheesecake. If it is too tart for you, add just a little sugar, but it is well liked by most as an appetizer without any sugar added. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Dutch Cheesecake Categories: Cakes Cheese Cheesecakes Desserts Servings: 10 -----------------------------------CRUST----------------------------------- 1 x Shortbread; See Recipe # 22 ---------------------------------CHEESECAKE--------------------------------- 2 ea Eggs; Large, Separated 1/4 c Confectioners' Sugar; PLUS 2 t Confectioners' Sugar 1 1/2 c Gouda Cheese; Grated 1/3 c Light Cream Or Half & Half 1/4 c Unbleached Flour 1 t Lemon Juice 1 t Lemon Rind; Grated 1/3 c Raisins; Golden NOTE: Use an 8-inch tart pan in this recipe.

Add the butter to the flour all at once. Mix together until well blended. Then add the shortening and continue to blend by cutting it into the flour mixture. The mixture will begin to look like crumbs or small pebbles. It will have the texture of oatmeal. Sprinkle the water over the dough, distributing it evenly throughout. The dough will be come sticky and cling together. Gather it into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. When the pastry has chilled, roll it out on a pastry board to a thickness of 1/8-inch. The easiest way is to roll the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Roll the dough up onto the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9-inch pie tin. Gently press it into the tin without stretching it. Use the excess pastry to make flutes or cut away the excess with a sharp knife or scissors. Prick the bottom of the pastry shell thoroughly to prevent trapped air from bubbling the dough. Butter a sheet of aluminum foil and place the foil down into the shell. Weight it down with weights or beans to keep the crust from lifting up. Bake the crust for 7 to 10 minutes then remove the weight and the foil. Return the crust to the oven and continue baking for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. If you have difficulty rolling out the dough, do not reroll it; just patch the tears or holes. Rerolling will make the pastry tough. FILLING: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Press the cottage cheese through a sieve. In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream and the sherry until steamy, do not allow it to scorch. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, rosewater, and the spices until frothy -- about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cottage cheese until it is smooth then add the egg mixture and blend well. Add the hot cream and sherry slowly to the cheese mixture and beat until well blended. Stir in the currants and pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Bake for about 30 minutes, then allow to cool. Chill and sprinkle with cinnamon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Finnish Curd Cake Categories: Cakes Cheese Cheesecakes Desserts Servings: 8 -----------------------------------CRUST----------------------------------- 2 T Butter; * 2/3 c Bread Crumbs; Dry ** ------------------------------------CAKE------------------------------------ 1 1/2 t Baking Powder 1 c Unbleached Flour; Sifted 1 c Cottage Cheese 2 ea Eggs; Large 1/2 c Brown Sugar 1 t Cinnamon; Ground 1 t Cardamom; Ground 1/2 t Ginger; Ground 1 t Orange Rind; Grated 1 t Lemon Rind; Grated 1/2 c Butter, Melted, * * Use Sweet Cream Butter In this recipe. ** Note: This recipe can vary depending on the type of pan you use. These are the maximum amounts. The minimum amounts are 1 TBLS of Butter to 1/2 cup of dry bread crumbs. As this recipe is more like a quick bread you should use a 1-quart Bread Pan and make the crust accordingly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Butter the baking dish, pie pan, or springform pan until generously coated. Sprinkle the crumbs as needed into the pan, then turn the pan around and shake gently, distributing the crumbs along the sides as well. The crumbs should completely coat the inside of the pan.

Press the cheese through a sieve. Combine the cheese with the egg yolks, beating in 1 yolk at a time. Add the sugar and blend well. Heat the cream in a large saucepan until it almost boils, then add the cheese mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat before it begins to boil. Stir in the fruits, almonds, and lemon rind. Cool. Cream together the butter and the vanilla, then stir into the cooled cheese mixture. Line the flower pot with several layers of moistened cheesecloth, leaving enough cloth at the top to form a flap that will cover the pot. Fill the pot with the cheese mixture and cover with the flap. Put a weight on the top and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. The whey (liquid) will drip out the bottom of the pot, so be sure to place a pan under it. When drained, carefully unmold the cake with a knife. Remove the cheesecloth and smooth the sides with a hot knife. Prepare the sauce. Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, Madeira, and lemon rind in the top of a double boiler. Cook and continue beating until the mixture thickens. Stir in the lemon juice and the rum, then chill briefly. Pour the sauce over the cheesecake and serve. NOTE: This very unusual cheesecake is a traditional Russian Easter dish. In the old days, the custom was to decorate it with paper flowers or religious emblems and have the priest come by and bless it. Back then, it was made in a special pyramid-shaped form, but you can make it in an ordinary red clay flower pot. Visually, the effect is quite striking, and the drainage hole allows the excess whey to escape. To make paskha, you will need a large flower pot and some cheesecloth. The paskha will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks, but be sure to make it at least three days in advance. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Polish Cheesecake Categories: Cakes Cheese Cheesecakes Desserts Servings: 10 -----------------------------------CRUST----------------------------------- 1 x Shortbread; See Recipe # 23 ---------------------------------CHEESECAKE--------------------------------- 4 c Dry Curd Cheese; 2 lbs, * 1 tb Unbleached Flour 1/2 ts Salt 1 1/2 c Sugar; Granulated 4 ea Eggs; Large, Lightly Beaten 1/2 c Butter; Melted 1 ts Vanilla Extract -------------------------------CRUMB TOPPING------------------------------- 1 c Unbleached Flour 1/2 c Confectioners' Sugar 1/2 ts Cinnamon; Ground 1/4 c Brown Sugar; Packed 1/4 c Butter; Melted * Use either Dry Curd Cottage or Farmer cheese in this recipe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Working on a large flat surface, such as a pastry board, place the flour and the sugar in the center of the surface and mix together. Form a small depression or well in the center of the mound. Add the beaten egg yolk and the softened butter to the well, ten blend these with the dry mixture. Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands -- there's no substitute for warm hands. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 10 minutes. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4-inch. You should have a circle of about 11 inches in diameter. For best results, roll out your dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper, then peel away the paper and cut the crust in a 9-inch circle. Place the circle inside a 9-inch springform pan. Prick the crust several times with a fork to keep the crust from puffing up during the baking. Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light brown. Allow to cool. Using the leftover dough, line the sides of the springform pan. Press the dough against the sides of the pan, smoothing it so as to have a continuous layer of crust all the way around the sides of the pan. Make sure that the side crust meets the bottom crust all the way around. Brush the reserved egg white onto the shell, covering the bottom and sides. This will seal the dough and keep it from becoming soggy. Set aside until ready to use. NOTE: For the Italian Cheesecake, add 1 ts of grated lemon rind and 1 ts of Amaretto Liqueur when adding the egg yolk and butter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Recipe Extracted from Meal-Master (tm) v6.14 ------------------ Title: Sweet Yeast Crust Categories: Cheesecakes Servings: 1 1 tb Active Dry Yeast; 1 Pk. 1/4 c Water; Warm, 110-115 deg.
