Best Artisanal Cheesecake

If you're a fan of cheesecake and want a simple recipe, this one

is for you. It contains only six ingredients (plus the topping) and

comes together in your blender. And it is so creamy and delicious!

This recipe has a delicious sour cream topping, but you can skip

that in lieu of fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries.

This is one of my favorite toppings

to use on some of my plain desserts.

Simply spread sliced almonds on a

parchment covered baking sheet;

sprinkle with a dusting of powdered

sugar, then broil just until the sugar starts

to melt and slightly browned. This step

takes only seconds.

You have so many options with this recipe...

• You can use a 9 × 13-inch dish for this recipe; then cut into squares.

• You can use a prepared mini muffin pan and get at least 2 dozen

tiny cheesecakes. Fill about two-thirds full. Watch carefully in

oven so they don't get too done.

• You could also use a prepared regular-size muffin pan; should get

about 12 little cheesecakes.

• You could use a cake, pie, or tart pan with a removable bottom. It

makes such a beautiful presentation, especially when topped with

the toasted, sugared almonds or sour cream topping. I like to put

it on a cake stand. I used a regular pie pan for some of the

pictures.

Why I like this recipe...

• It makes it's own crust.

• Everything goes into a blender.

• This recipe is so easy to make with simple ingredients.

About the Ingredients:

• Milk-Whole milk is the only option.

• Eggs-Use large or extra-large.

• Sugar-Simple white granulated sugar is all you need.

• Baking mix-You can use one like Bisquick or try or recipe here.

• Cream cheese-The low-fat doesn't work well in this recipe.

• Vanilla-Use a really good vanilla or almond extract.

• 2 tsp good vanilla

Heat oven to 350°F.

Instructions

1. Place milk, eggs, sugar and baking mix into blender;

cover and blend on high for about 15 seconds. Add

remaining ingredients; cover and blend on high for about 2

minutes, scraping the inside of the container twice.

2. Pour into prepared pie plate; bake for 40 to 45 minutes until

Sour Cream Topping (optional)

Mix 1 cup sour cream, 2 Tbsp sugar and 2 tsp vanilla until

*A round cake or quiche pan with a removable bottom works great

for this. I would line it with buttered parchment. See the other

options on the web page.
