well now lets turn to the fun part of being far away from home, and I will do that by giving you the recipe for the best Jordanian cheese cake, it kicks new york in the butt. After some trial an error I have reached the ultimate cheese cake.
Ingredients:
1- 20 OZ of cream cheese(Aktar mn nos kilo bshway).
2- 16 OZ of sour cream (Agal mn nos kilo bshwayI don’t know if it has an arabic equivalent).
3- 3 to 4 Eggs.
4- Graham crackers (Baskoot mary, aw baskoot el mo2assaseh el 3askaryyeh).
5- 8 OZ of butter (Abo wgeyyet zebdeh).
6- Cup of sugar (Kaset sokkar, mesh ta3at monta7′ab el 3a9eer).
7- Vanilla.
The process:
1- First mix the butter with the graham crackers in the backing pan and add some sugar(3-4 spoons), then press onto the bottom of the pan, after that you bake it for about 10 minutes at 325-350.
2- While the crust is backing use the mixer to mix all of the other ingredients, start with the cheese and the sour cream then add the eggs, the sugar and a hint of vanilla, keep in the mixer for about 1-2 minutes(you will get shanineh like mixture but a little bit thicker)
3- Pour this mixture on the top of the crust, the make sure that the bottom of the backing pan is covered with foil( I will till you why next).
4- In another pan add some hot water so that when you put the cheese cake pan it will be covered with water almost to the middle.
5- Put the cheese cake pan in the water pan and bake at 325-350 for almost an hour, when you see that the top is becoming golden turn off the oven.
6- Take the cheese cake pan out and let it sit for 1-2 hours, add your favorite topping and chill for 6-8 hours.
I recommend doing this at night before you sleep, the next day when you wake up it will be ready to be eaten with a cup of coffee.
Enjoy, and you are welcome.
The picture is for a blueberry cheese cake I made:)
I made two cakes. I put them in the fridge and by the time morning came the were both eaten and the pans licked clean. My cousins claimed there were sleep walking and eating. One of them I would understand, but all 4 of them. I think the pan is the most important part besides of course the cheese and no ordinary pan will do. Gotta go with a springform.
Sa7a, I will try it
