Kraft Kitchens Tips

Variation

Prepare using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese and BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream.

Make it Easy

When cutting creamy-textured desserts, such as cheesecakes, carefully wipe off the knife blade between cuts with a damp clean towel. This prevents the creamy filling from building up on the blade, ensuring nice clean cuts that leave the filling intact.

How to Test for Doneness

Check a cheesecake for doneness by gently shaking the pan. If the cheesecake is done, it will be set except for a small area in the center that will be soft and jiggly. Do not insert a knife into the center as this can cause the cooled cheesecake to crack.

I don't like how long it takes to prepare it and some of the ingredients (sour cream) disagree with me but it sounds delicious!!!

I made 2 of these for my husband to bring to work. It prompted requests for many others. Everyone that tasted it said it was 'the best cheesecake they'd ever eaten'!
