For our March challenges from Baking with Dorie, I chose to make the Marbled Cheesecake first, and I did a bit of playing around.
Instead of making one large cheesecake, I decided, for various reasons, to make a quarter of the recipe, which resulted in two 4" cheesecakes. What I discovered was that 1/4 of the crust made one crust, so, next time I would double the amount (make 1/2 a recipe); 1/4 of the filling makes two cheesecakes (I just put the extra in a ramekin and baked it along with the one 4" pan). If I recall, I made 1/2 the syrup, forgot I did that, and used it all. It didn't seem to matter as the end result was pretty tasty.
I also made my own graham crackers, using the recipe from Dorie's Cookies. Too many iffy ingredients in commercial ones, so I always make my own. Now, I have a bag full of graham crackers in the freezer, waiting for the next cheesecake.
All in all, it was a delicious cheesecake, one that I would definitely make again.
Check out the Tuesdays with Dorie website to see which recipe the other bakers chose to make first.
