Light off some fireworks, it’s time for Celebration Cheesecake everyone!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n It’s cool, creamy, stripped and has all the makings to be the next patriotic star of your party.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Raise your hand if you remember Jell-o’s 123 Dessert. \u00a0It was a gelatin mix that was so easy to make and it turned out with 3 layers, the top one was like a mousse. \u00a0Well, that’s the inspiration for Celebration Cheesecake for those that love the USA and one of it’s favorite desserts. \u00a0Just think of all the ways you can make this yummy cheesecake; red and green for Christmas, orange and green for Halloween, and for those with BSU Fever, like me, we’ll go with BLUE and Orange for Fall tailgating parties!<\/p>\n Several steps are required, but it’s not at all hard. \u00a0It requires some time and planning is all.<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<\/p>\n 1. \u00a0CRUST<\/strong>: \u00a0Begin by making your crust with cookie crumbs; graham crackers, vanilla wafers, chocolate wafers, oatmeal, or lemon cookies too. \u00a0If you’ve got a food processor<\/a>, (and yes you do want one of these), it makes such perfect crumbs in just a few simple pulses, or put your cookies in a ziptop bag and smack them with a rolling pin until you’ve got the consistency you desire. \u00a0In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbs with sugar, chopped nuts, and butter and add them to the bottom of a 10″ non-stick springform pan<\/a>. \u00a0Chill the crust in your refrigerator while you make the filling.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0CHEESECAKE<\/strong>: \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Beat cream cheese, 1\/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and eggs for 10 minutes. \u00a0Pour filling over crust and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until it won’t stick to your finger. \u00a0Remove from oven and let cook completely on a wire rack.<\/p>\nCelebration Cheesecake<\/h2>\n
