PECAN PIE & CHEESECAKE 1 c sugar 3 eggs 2/3 c white corn syrup 2 tbsp flour 2 tbsp melted butter 1 c pecans 1 tsp vanilla Mix all ingredients, put in a 9 in. unbaked pie shell. (I often use frozen ones, but re-crimp them so they look homemade.) Bake at 350� for about 1 hour or until center of pie is set (silver knife blade comes out clean is a good test.) Serve with a side scoop of vanilla ice cream. Calories? Who's counting on Valentine's Day. Enjoy! CHEESECAKE 3 8 oz. pkgs cream cheese 4 egg whites 4 Rusks, Zwiebach or Vanilla Wafers, crushed 1 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla Dust bottom of buttered 8- x 3-in. spring form pan with crushed wafers. Cream well to soften cream cheese (or put in microwave for 30 seconds on HIGH to soften, unwrapped). Beat egg whites until stiff, blend in sugar and combine with cream cheese. Add vanilla and pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350� for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and raise oven temperature to 475�. Mix 2 cups sour cream with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp vanilla and spread over top of warm cheesecake. Return to 475� oven and bake 5 minutes longer. REMEMBER-Do not overcook. You want a nice moist cheesecake that will melt in your mouth. Chill at least 2 hours. Serve plain or with a little red raspberry jam, fresh fruit or almonds. Delicious! |
