Well, I did something wrong at every turn, I guess. Beat the batter too

almost never shop) was OUT of REGULAR sour cream, can you imagine?

Anyway, they don't look great, but I'm hoping they'll be yummy tomorrow.
Oh, wait, it's 2am. Today, then.

'night, all.

Was that my recipe, Serene? Once or twice I've used cold cream cheese when
I didn't have time. I used the food processor rather than a mixer. It
worked okay, but not quite as well as when room temperature. I've never
tried the light sour cream for the cheesecake, so can't predict the results
on that. Chilling them well will make a difference in consistency. Hope
it works out! Let us know...

Yeah. I'll let you know how it turns out. I made two small cups of
cheesecake from the leftover batter, and ate one warm. It had little
lumps of unprocessed cream cheese in it. The texture was weird, but
we'll see how it is tonight. I really have had very little luck with
baking in my life. :-)

Look for it later this evening, but definitely by tomorrow morning. Can't
seem to stop the business here. :-(

Do not mix this one with the one you just made. Results could prove fatal!

Sadly, the one I just made was an utter flop. Tasted fine, texture was
horrid. *sigh*

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you'll give it another try. Batter
should be room temperature and very smooth before filling the shells.

Sorry, I haven't followed this thread much, so this may not be
much help, but here is a sweet cheesecake recipe that I've used for
years and it hasn't failed me yet:

Very Best Cheesecake

CRUST

1-1/2 C. Graham Cracker crumbs (about 18 crackers)
1/4 C. sugar
5 T. melted butter or margarine

FILLING

2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs
1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

TOPPING

1 C. sour cream
1/4 C. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 375° F. Mix crust ingredients well with fork; using
a cold metal spoon, pat firmly into bottom and 1/3 of the way up the
sides of an 8" springform pan. Set aside.

Beat filling ingredients with rotary beater or electric mixer until
satiny and pour into crust. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven and
let cool for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, raise oven to 475° F. Blend
topping ingredients and spread gently over cheese filling. Return cake
to oven and bake 10 minutes longer. Cool in pan to room temperature,
then cover tightly with foil and chill 10-12 hours before serving.

Variations:

Big Cheesecake: add one 8 oz. brick of cream cheese, one egg, and 1/4
C. sugar to filling; increase first baking time to 25-30 minutes.

Fruity Cheesecake: top cooled cheesecake with canned pie filling or
sliced fresh fruit.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake: add one bag of mini chocolate chips to
filling before baking.
