The Fannie Farmer cookbook has a simple plain recipe for cheesecake that I found easy to size down to half. The directions are clear and easy to follow and it does not have a citrus flavor. I wanted to share this with my daughter and she does not care for citrus or at least lemon flavor. I used a 7 inch Nordic Ware springform pan but you could use muffin pans with liners in the cups. Do not over bake, the center should be a little soft and moist and jiggle when lightly tapped. It needs to cool and stay in the refrigerator at least over night.
It called for the eggs to be separated and the whites folded in at the end, but I didn’t want to fuss with that so just added the whole eggs when yolks were called for in the directions and it worked just fine.
The cake is light and not so rich that you feel like you are using all of your calories for the day in one slice. The texture is excellent and you can vary the toppings to suit your self, I used AllFruit Apricot Jam. Next time I am going to try chocolate cookie crumbs and chocolate shavings. Using GF All Purpose flour in the filling and GF graham crumbs or cookies turned into crumbs allows everyone in my family to eat it.
