Well, I was told that we only live once and that we must enjoy the little things in life that makes us fat. (Yep, but only on occasions and in moderation, smile.) So, I decided to create something that mix some cool ingredients to make me happy.
 
Category:  Dessert
Approx. Prep and Cook Time:  40 Minutes
Approximate Cost:    $9.42 or $1.18 per each serving
Difficulty Level:  Easy
Allergens, Other:  Gluten Free (ONLY IF YOU USE GF SHORTBREAD COOKIES)
Servings: 8
 
INGREDIENTS
 
Crust ($2.45)
1 1/2 cups Pecan Shortbread Cookies (approx. 12, crushed) ($2.00)
2 tbsp. sugar (.15)
1/4 cup melted butter (.30)
 
Filling ($6.97)
2 packages cream cheese, at room temperature ($4.00)
2/3 cup granulated sugar (.30)
2 large eggs, at room temperature (.32)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (.90)
1 tbsp. Amaretto Liquor ($1.45)
 
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Select a 9 to 10” Spring Form baking pan, carefully spay with oil only on the sides.
  3. To make the crust, process together all of the crust ingredients, until thoroughly combined.
  4. Press the crumbs into the bottom and a little up the sides of the pan. The thicker layer will be on the bottom.
  5. To make the filling, use a mixer set at low-medium speed. mixing together the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  6. On a separate bowl, mix in the eggs, Amaretto and vanilla, add it to the cream cheese mix. Mix just until all blends; however, do not over beat.
  7. Pour the filling into the crust.
  8. Place the cheesecake in the oven. (I did not use a bain-Marie or water bath this time). Bake it for about 30 minutes. Then turn the oven off and crack the oven door open to allow the cheesecake to cool inside the oven. DO NOT REMOVE FROM THE OVEN, SINCE CHEESECAKES ARE PRETENTIOUS AND WHEN MOVE TO A DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE DRASTICALLY, THEY WILL COLLAPSE.
  9. Once the cheesecake is 100% cool, refrigerate it covered until you're ready to serve it.
  10. I like to serve my cheesecake with fresh fruit, whipped cream and drizzled chocolate.
Enjoy!
