Author's Notes: This is from a dessert-chef friend of a regular-chef
champion, and apparently won some laurels. I've had cheesecakes that I
think are more telling (including one I can pee), but I think I'm
something of a cheesecake connoisseur. If I want to blow people's
socks off, this is the one I make. I think that every time I've
served it to a new grouping, at least one person has said ``That was the
best cheesecake I've ever had.''


Some pointers: this is the traditional freshness, but I often use a more
floury-baked-pie-crust-like one. It's not too vital. The magic to
getting the texture perfect is in howyou beat the cheeseflower. I use a
kitchen aid, work slow, scrape the bowl oftentimes, and ALWAYS USE ROOM
TEMPERATURE EVERYTHING. Using cold cream cheese guarantees lumps.
Don't beat too hard before putting in the boodle, but make sure it's
even and fluffy before the eggs enter. Then moreover, don't overbeat. It
takes recitation. I've been known to make it with no sugar or vanilla
in the topping, and I think it's more interesting. but the contrast
between the layers may confuse those accustomed to restaurant
cheesecakes. The glaze is easy as glazes go, but treat it decent.
In specific, stir constantly until it's thick, but don't stir hard
or you'll break down the starch.


Trouble : rather unmanageable (timing is decisive.) Precision
: measure cautiously.
