Cheesecake In a Blender

By Joelene

Ingredients

• CRUST INGREDIENTS:
• 1 1/2 c all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 c sugar
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• CHEESECAKE BODY INGREDIENTS:
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 Tbsp flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 c sugar
• 1 1/4 c milk
• fruit or cinnamon for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10" springform pan with PAM. WRAP the bottom and up the sides of the outside of the pan with a square of aluminum foil, to protect against any leaks. Make sure your springform pan is properly aligned and that it tightly seals when you snap the ring shut!
NOTE: if you want to use a 9" springform pan to get a thicker piece of cake, you will have to bake the cake at least 10 minutes longer. Watch it closely, and use a cake tester to test for done-ness.
2
For crust: Sift together flour, baking powder and sugar. Mix together with butter and 1 slightly-beaten egg. Press the mixture along the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.
3
For cheesecake: Place the cream cheese, flour, 2 eggs, sugar and milk into a blender and process on high for 3 minutes. No, there is no vanilla in this recipe! Really & truly!
Pour into the prepared crust. Bake for 55 - 60 minutes (longer, if you use a 9" springform pan). Cool and remove from springform. Serve with fruit topping, if desired.
