Woolworth Cheesecake
Woolworth cheesecake is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. It is a simple but delicious cheesecake that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake is set.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour to cool.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Once the cheesecake is chilled, remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
Tips:
- To make a lighter cheesecake, you can use low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
- If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Be sure to beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth before adding the eggs. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven for the full 1 hour. Do not open the oven door during the baking time.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely in the oven before refrigerating. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from shrinking.
Enjoy!
