I first tried this recipe because it sounded unusual and I was curious. To my surprise, it was actually very good, nice texture and taste! -NOTE- Use a block of cheddar cheese and grate it finely. If you use packaged pre-shredded cheese it won't melt correctly when baking! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1/4 cup sweet butter, melted |
butter (to grease pan) |
2 lbs cream cheese, softened |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
4 large eggs |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/2 cup beer |
1 1/3 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, slightly whipped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300F degrees.
2. For crust, combine crumbs with melted butter.
3. Press on bottom and sides of a buttered 8-inch spring-form pan.
4. For filling, beat cream cheese until soft.
5. Beat in sugar.
6. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
7. Add lemon juice, beer, and cheese.
8. Mix thoroughly.
9. Fold in cream.
10. Pour into the crust.
11. Bake in preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until center is set (cake will be golden in color).
12. Do not remove from oven.
13. Turn the oven off and allow the cake to remain in the oven with the door slightly open to let the heat out gradually.
14. Remove from oven and cool.
15. Chill before serving.
