Absolutely!  😂

 

Definitely a gray area because it's custard, but one could convince themself that the eggs were cooked past pasteurization and if you left a block of cream cheese out overnight it would not be off by morning.  She could brulee the top to kill any surface bacteria if that helps with peace of mind.  I'd probably serve it with a caveat so anyone with a delicate system can opt out.

I'm sure it's spoiled.  Send to me for disposal.

Hi everyone. I want to scale down a recipe (CI's recipe) for ny cheesecake. My spring form pan is only 4 inches. The original recipe calls for a 9 inch spring form pan. It is supposed to be baked at 500 for 10 mins and then 200 for 1-1/2. How do I know how long to bake the cheesecake in a 4 inch pan? How do I scale down baking times?

 

Thanks.

What are the best recipes for a really dense NY cheesecake?

When making a ny cheesecake, do you prefer sour cream or heavy cream?

Sour cream. Never had a NY cheesecake which was too tart - so the cream and cheese should be as tart as you can get. IMO.
