Some time ago I worked at a coffee/sandwhich shop filling in for the baker. I had no prior experience just a love for sweets.
Anyho, one of the things I was asked to make for the shop was cheescake. Yikes! Quite an ambitious project for a novice. After a few failed attempts I decided to try individual cheescakes made in cupcake papers. They worked out pretty well and were quite tasty if I do say so myself.
I don't have the best oven (elec.) in the world at home but I decided to try them anyway and they all sunk.
Not sure what I did wrong. Do you have to have a convection oven to make good cheescake? or maybe theres some little trick one of you experienced bakers would care to share.
Here's the recipe I used except I ground the wafers to make the crust.
1 package Vanilla Wafers
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Line a 6 cavity muffin tin with cup cake liners. Place 1 Vanilla Wafer in the bottom of each cup cake liner. Cream together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 of the way up. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes
