I thought I'd post a cheesecake recipe today since I posted tips on successful cheesecakes yesterday. I realized I have MOST my price list right here on my cookbook (duh Kathy...I know). Be sure to use the tips I gave yesterday to ensure this cheesecake is creamy.
What you'll need:
1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 Tbl. butter
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
1/2 c. milk
2 eggs, separated
1/2 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
Mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter and press into a 9" pan (you can use a springform pan or a pie plate); set aside. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Beat the egg yolks and set them aside; allow the egg whites to come to room temperature while mixing the remaining ingredients. Beat the cream cheese well. Add the milk, beaten egg yolks, sugar, salt and extracts; mixing well after each addition. Beat the egg white until stiff and gently fold into cheese mixture. Pour into pan and bake 45 minutes. Makes 1 cheesecake.
Cost:
graham crackers - $1.09
butter - $1.79/lb
sugar - $1.99/4 lb bag
milk - $3.99/gallon
cream cheese - $2.06
eggs - $1.09/dozen

Total - $4.13

That cheesecake recipe sounds delish, but WOW, where do you shop? I don't even see those low prices in the cheapest Dollar stores here and I live in the sticks in South Georgia, but amazingly the grocery prices here very much like Southern California, only the quality is terrible.
