I am totally craving cheesecake. and i really really REALLY want to know if there is a quick/simple/foolproof recipe out there so that i may satiate the desires of my stomach...preferably tonight. and whether or not i really need a springform pan (like pretty much most recipes say). any suggestions? tips? words of wisdom?

here's a no bake Snicker's cheese cake- that's super fast and super easy...

1 ready made chocolate crust (I think Keebler makes them)
8oz. cream cheese
1 jar carmel ice cream topping
1 12oz. cool whip
1 king-size snickers candy bar, broke up into bite size pieces.

Let cream cheese stand to get to room temp (or 30 seconds in the microwave). Take 1/2 the jar of ice cream topping and spread in bottom of crust... in a medium size bowl whip up the cream cheese, add the rest of the jar of ice cream topping, and mix well. Whip in the cool whip, then with a spoon fold in the snickers candy pieces.
Spread into the crust..refrigerate for at least an hour. Serve! (Keep refrigerated)!!


Easy No bake cheesecake
8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
10 oz. cool whip
1/3 c. sugar
1-1 1/2 T. lemon juice
1 can pie filling (cherry or blueberry)
graham cracker crust (ready made)


Mix together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice. Fold in cool whip and empty it into the graham cracker crust. Open the fruit filling and pour it over top of the cream cheese mixture. Put in fridge for at least a half hour so it firms up a little.

This one gets rave revues... It's really rich and decadent.
You might not be able to eat it tonight, but when you try it you'll see it's worth the wait.

Cheesecake

Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
5 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups white sugar
1/8 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
zest from 1 lemon

Directions

1 Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of the white sugar, and the melted butter together. Press mixture into the bottom of a greased 9 or 10 inch springform pan.

3 In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, eggs and egg yolks; mix until smooth. Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups white sugar, the flour, vanilla and the heavy cream. Blend until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.

4 Put cake in oven and turn to 200 degrees and bake for 3 hours 10 min (give or take). Should be a little firm when you turn the oven off, but not real firm. Turn oven off after the 3 hours and about 10 minutes. Crack oven open and let cheesecake cool in over for 1 hour (or longer if you wish). Then put the cheesecake in refrigerator for AT LEAST over night. Best after full 24 hours.

Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake
submitted by M.K. Warren

1 1/2 cups Vanilla Wafers; Crushed
1 cup Butter
5 Envelopes Gelatin
Water (About 5 Tbs.)
8 oz. Cream Cheese
3/4 cup Granulated sugar
2 cups Heavy Cream
1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
Whipped Cream & Fresh Strawberries for Garnish (Optional)

To prepare vanilla wafer crumbs, place cookies in a plastic bag and finely crush until the required amount has been prepared. Place the vanilla wafer crumbs in a small mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and mix with the crushed wafers. Press the wafer and butter mixture into the base of a 8-inch cake or pie tin.


Dissolve the gelatin in just enough cold water to soften and reserve. In a large mixing bowl Beat together the cream cheese and sugar until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold in the Bailey¡¦s Irish Cream. Gently fold the Bailey¡¦s and cream mixture into the creamed cheese and sugar. Add gelatin and continue to gently fold to combine all ingredients.

Pour the cheese mixture on top of the wafer crust. Refrigerate and allow to set for 1 to 2-hours. Garnish with rosettes of whipped cream and a fan of freshly sliced strawberries, if desired. Serve cold and refrigerate any cheesecake that remains.

I use a recipe some what similar to that and if you REALLY want to make them rave get some whipping cream and make some fresh whipped cream right before you serve it. They'll go crazy.

How fast does this spoil? I love cheesecake, but my SO doesn't. Would I have to gain the 30 pounds in 2 days . Or will it stay good for a week?
