Famous Recipes - New York-Style Cheesecake

New York-Style Cheesecake

For the crust:
1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) grated lemon zest
1 egg yolk
8 Tbs (120 ml) butter, softened
About 2 Tbs (30 ml) water

Mix the flour, sugar, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the egg yolk and butter and blend with a fork. Work the
mixture, adding a few drops of water at a time, until a dough is formed. Form into a ball, cover, and
refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll one third of the dough on a floured surface into a 9 inch (23 cm) round and ease it
into the bottom of a buttered 9 inch spring-form pan. This dough is fragile, so if it breaks just patch it
back together. Roll the remaining dough in pieces and fit it against the sides of the pan, pressing the
seams together as you go.

For the filling:
40 oz (1100 g) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) sugar
3 Tbs (45 ml) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 ml) grated lemon zest
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp (2 ml) vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream

Beat the cheese, sugar, flour, and lemon zest in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs and yolks,
followed by the vanilla and cream. Pour the cheese mixture into the crust and place on a baking sheet. Bake
in a preheated 550F (290C) oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 200F (90C) and bake 1 hour.

Famous Recipes - Alfajores with Dulce de Leche

Alfajores with Dulce de Leche

12 Tbs (180 ml) butter
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1 egg
2 egg yolks
2 Tbs (30 ml) cognac
2 1/2 cups (625 ml) cornstarch (cornflour)
1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
1/2 tsp (2 ml) baking powder
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Dulce de leche* (recipe below)
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar for dusting

* Dulce de leche is becoming more widely available in US supermarkets, and can be found in any good Hispanic market.

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the remaining ingredients except the dulce de leche and powdered
sugar and mix well. Turn onto a floured work surface and knead until the dough is smooth. Let the dough rest
for 15 minutes. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (5 mm) and cut into 2 inch (5 cm) rounds.
Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 300F (150C) oven for 20 minutes. When cool, spread
some dulce de leche on the bottom of half the cookies and make a sandwich with the remaining cookies. Dust
liberally with powdered sugar. Makes about 12 cookie sandwiches.

Dulce de Leche

Note: The manufacturers of canned condensed milk warn against boiling the cans due to the danger of
explosion. Although thousands of home cooks ignore this advice every day, you should be aware that the
danger exists. To reduce the possibility of a mishap if you decide to follow this recipe, be sure that the
can is totally immersed at all times, adding more water to the pot as needed.
