John Harvey John's Killer Firehouse Cheesecake Reviews Date of last review 1 Sat May 8, 2004 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 10.0 Description: Ingredients: 16 ounces cream cheese -- room temp 1 cup Splenda -- or 3/4 teaspoon stevia extract 2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract -- pure 3 eggs 2 tablespoons sour cream -- French style if you can find it Topping: 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons Splenda 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract -- pure How To Prepare: Place a casserole pan or baking dish with about 2" of water on the bottom of the oven (this prevents drying out and cracking.) Preheat oven to 375 In a bowl beat cream cheese sweetener and sour cream until light. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Pour into spring form pan that has been lightly buttered. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and set out to cool for about 15 minutes. While cheesecake cools combine ingredients for topping and pour over cooked cheesecake smooth over with a spoon. Return to oven Notes: May be topped with raspberries or blueberries. I like to heat them on the stove with a tsp Splenda till they pop to make a berry sauce. Stevia is a natural sweetener than may be purchased in a health food store (I found it at Harvest Health Foods). In powder form it is about 600 times sweeter than sugar, it has no bad side effects like Nutra-Sweet or Saccharin. About 2/3rds of a tsp has the sweetness of one cup of sugar. I make Kool-Aid with it. I taste the batter and topping and adjust sweetness to my liking by adding 1/2 tsp Splenda at a time. Number of Servings: 10 Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 56g carbs total Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Tammy Marie   Posts: 0 see this user's products
