Baking Desserts - Part II

The girls are finishing off left-overs tonight, and I'm frying the rest of the redfish. Nothing exciting there. I did decide to surprise them with a dessert, so came up on a new one, even for me.

Decook's post about Juniors in Brooklyn (they make a sponge cake crust) got my mind rambling. Graham cracker crusts are boring to me. Why couldn't I bake a Snickerdoodle crusted, New York-style Sour Cream Cheesecake????? Bake a crust on non-stick foil, slide it into a 9x13" pan, and build a cheesecake on top. Have to see tonight after it cools out in the 30 degree garage for a few hours. Brrrrr!!!!!!

There you go again. Would.

Keep us updated. I also make a sugar cookie crust for my cheesecake. I think I like it better than the graham cracker crust.

The cheesecake turned out edible after all. Crust was excellent, as was the filling. Together, they didn't work as good tho, so I'll give it an 8 out of 10. If you ate the filling off first, then picked up the crust in your fingers like my MIL did, it was Heaven!! Made 3 different ways, and shared. Cinnamon/sugar was a little overpowering, hot fudge was great, as was the cherries.
