Ok, the band doesn't have quite the right color, and the white isn't completely white... whatever.
It's the Cordon Rose Cheesecake. Not one of those Cheesecake Factory monsters, but a nice light custardy cake. Some of the sour cream replaced by pureed banana. And the ladyfingers dipped in a mixture of milk and limoncello. If previous attempts are any indicator this one will be very good - though it's the first time I've made it with the crown and the ladyfingers.
Happy Fourth to all of you!

Silke, Beautiful Cheesecake for a festive 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how it tastes. I love Rose's Cheesecake recipe.
Great picture Silke. Lovely looking cheesecake. How interesting that you use banana. I actually love the color of the band.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is that your new countertop? Looks nice.
Dar - thanks! It tasted great, though I think the next time I'll skip the milk and use only limoncello to soak the ladyfingers. Since I make it myself it doesn't really cost me much except the time to do the lemons... It was also surprising that the bottom held together as well as it did.
ReplyDeleteI could swear that my inbox showed a comment from Jenn: The banana substitution is in the Cake Bible, up to 1/2 the sour cream can be substituted by pureed bananas. I've made it a few times, can't quite decide whether I like the original better of the banana version. And no, it's not my countertop, it's a coffee table on the deck that just has a piece of rock on it...
