Bo's Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

24 oz cream cheese, broken into pieces
4 eggs, separated
2 tbsp vanilla extract (do not use artific, ial vanilla)
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste
1 lb chocolate chips
1 lb graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted


Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

PREPARE THE BATTER: Place the egg yolks in a food processor for 5
seconds, then add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the
brown sugar and vanilla and process for several minutes, or until the
batter is very smooth. Beat the egg whites and fold into the cheese
mixture. Set aside.

PREPARE THE CRUST: Soften butter and combine with graham cracker
crumbs. Mix until fully blended, e.g. they will form a ball when
squeezed in your hand or by a spoon. Pat the crust into the sides and
bottom of a springform pan about 9 inches in diameter.

Spread a generous layer of chips on the bottom of the pan, and then
pour the batter into the pan. Add another generous layer of chips to
the top of the cake.

Place the filled pan into the preheated oven. Baking time will vary
from about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Cooking time depends on whether you
want a soft, gooey "New York" style cheesecake (shorter) to a fluffy
"souffle"-like cheesecake (longer). The longer you cook it, the
fluffier it gets.

When the cake starts to rise like a souffle, start checking to see if
it is done. It will just about double in volume, and should not flow
over the sides of the pan. If the cake shimmers like Jello when
shaken, it is done. Alternatively, if a knife inserted comes out
clean, the cake is overcooked: the knife should be very lightly
coated with batter.

NOTES:

* A truly decadent chocolate chip cheesecake -- This recipe came to
me from a friend of mine, Bo (pronounced "boo") Ture Ahlberg, who
would occasionally (read "whenever we could persuade him") bring it
into work. Needless to say, it would be snarfed up immediately.

* Bo prefers to use Nestle Mini-Morsel chocolate chips.

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.
: Time: 15 minutes preparation, up to 2 hours cooking.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.

The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.

In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `blissful`.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of the time.

Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day.

The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site.
