Cheddar Cheesecake 车打芝士蛋糕

This Cheddar Cheesecake was once a popular recipe among many great bakers many years ago. Just saw a few of my baker friends who shared their posts again on Facebook recently.  So, today I am sharing with you my soft, light and fluffy cheddar cheesecake based on Hsling’s recipe but with a few adjustments. You’ll see how easy to make this cheesecake in a short time minus the baking time. I had also doubled the recipe with 6 eggs, baked in an eight inch square pan and changed the method of mixing the cheese ingredients. I’m very pleased with the end result, not much shrinkage and there was a smooth top.  So yummy to serve after being chilled.
