Amaretto cheesecake
Steve,
This is one of your own recipes.
Crust:
1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs (about 21 to 23 cookies)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons butter
Filling:
15 ounces light ricotta cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
PREPARATION:
Combine crust ingredients well; pat into a 7-inch springform pan. Beat sugar into the cheeses; add eggs; beat for 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed of an electric hand-held mixer. Add remaining filling ingredients and beat about 2 minutes more.
Pour into prepared crust. Place the cheesecake on a rack in the Crock Pot (or use a "ring" of aluminum foil to keep it off the bottom of the pot). Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Let stand in the covered pot (after turning it off) for about 1 to 2 hours, until cool enough to handle. Cool thoroughly before removing pan sides. Chill before serving; store leftovers in the refrigerator.
