4 Boxes Cream Cheese (softened): Beat until fluffy
1/4 C or more of citrus juice + lots (and lots) of zest
pinch salt
~1 Tbls of Arrowroot powder or flour
~1 C sucanat, rapadura OR 1/2 C White sugar or Honey
Beat again and then add
3 Eggs: Beat again until really fluffy
Pour onto a crust (see recipe) and bake for 15 minutes or so at 425* or similiar really hot temperature. Then turn the oven down to a low temp (at least as low as 350*, I do 325*) and leave it until the crust just starts to crack and before it gets too brown (although we don't mind a touch of brown!) Chill before cutting or moving it around too much.
YUM.
If you want to perfect your cheesecake skills, then be sure to read the section on Custards in a cookbook somewhere (the concepts apply to pumpkin pie as well). A pan with water underneath the cake's pan is a great thing.
I've not yet made cheese cake from home-made cream cheese, but I bet it would work great! Just yogurt suspended so that the liquid/whey drips out makes cream cheese.
