The Holidays are upon us, like cheesecake? How about Vintage?
This is for you.
I make this every year by request for my eldest son's birthday. We have it other times of the year (sometimes) but always on his birthday.
I am a fan of old school, vintage..so when I found this recipe I was pretty happy. It is so good, and it's the way I remember my mom's cheesecake from back way back in the day. The very title peaked my interest get this....I found this on the internet about 4 or 5 years ago. It was somebody's recipe at some time, but gave no credit, I take none for it, it's not mine.
Cheese Freeze 1940 Cheescake....isn't that a charmer? The recipe doesn't call for freezing, so I'm not so sure what that is all about.Anybody know ? I'd like to know.
Put on your prettiest apron and lets get cookin! 
Cheese Freeze 1940's Cheesecake
I use a springform pan for this recipe. .
20 graham crackers OR 1 1/2 cups, 375 ml ( Measure) to make the crumb crust, or you can buy it already crushed for this purpose follow instructions on the box. If you decide to make this without the box here is how you make the crust.
4 tbs (60 ml) butter
1/4 cup ( 60 ml) butter
1/4 cup ( 60ml) sugar
Crush the graham crackers

- For the filling:
- 1 lb. (450 g) cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp (1/2 ml) salt
It all goes in the mixer, mix well. You can make this first, or the crust first doesn't matter. I like to make the filling first and have taste tests😉
The graham cracker crust
graham cracker crust ( you can make your own or buy the boxed) The box saves you time, and the recipe is right on the box or :
Once you've got your crust mixed up with the melted butter and sugar, press it into the bottom of your pan with a spoon, or measuring cup to pack it down.

ReplyDeleteHere, we can buy pre-made Graham Cracker Crusts. I'm sure they aren't as good, as freshly making one's own, though.

Here too,however. I make this in a springform pan. There is quite a bit of cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteWe've still got all of us here ! Sometimes I long for the lesser hustle bustle. They will be out soon enough, and then I suppose....I'll miss them. Won't I ? My husband doesn't mind leftovers, but it is easier to cook for more then 2. The cheesecake is really good. But...for two people...it's a ton of cheesecake....what's wrong with that? :) You would be eating for days...it's better to share.
ReplyDeleteFunny what they called it back then, but it sounds good. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe is similar to one I make except I've never tried the sour cream topping. We can never decide whether we like the baked sort of cheesecake or the unbaked. To me they're both good.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This sounds so good! I've got to make one!
