Day 79: Honey Cheesecake

Day 79.

I made this cheesecake for the art auction at Millie's school. The auction was a huge success, and I think the cheesecake was pretty successful as well.

Here's what you'll need.
Photobucket
**For the filling**
2 (8oz.) packages of cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup honey
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp. cornstarch
**For the crust**
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup walnuts
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 375*

Photobucket
Combine the flour, cinnamon and walnuts in a bowl.

Photobucket
Spray a measuring cup with nonstick spray to make measuring the honey easier.

Photobucket
Add the honey and melted butter to the bowl.

Photobucket
Mix well.

Photobucket
Add to an 8 inch springform pan.

Photobucket
Press the crust into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.

Now for the filling!!!

Photobucket
Beat the cream cheese and honey until smooth.

Photobucket
Beat in the eggs and egg yolks.

Photobucket
Add remaining ingredients, beat until smooth.

Photobucket
By now, your crust should be done. I pierced mine with a fork some because it was bubbling up.

Lower the oven temperature to 300*


Photobucket
Pour filling into the prepared crust.

Photobucket
Bake at 300* for 50-55 minutes, or until set. Remove from oven to cool, then chill completely in refrigerator before serving.

Drizzle with additional honey at serving.

I didn't get any pictures of the finished product because we weren't at home. And there wasn't any left after the auction. Guess that means it's pretty good!
