Ok kids. I need help here. I attempted to make a cheesecake last week, and it was a miserable failure. I am not new to the world of cheesecake, it's one of my favorites, so I've been making them for a long long time now. This has me stumped however. I wanted to make a no bake cheesecake this time, and this is the recipe I came up with. I made one alteration to an old recipe that cant have caused the problem. The only difference is that I divided the batter to flavor one part of it so I could make a layered cheesecake. The problem with it is that this refused to set. I gave it 6 hours in the fridge and...nothing. Just mush. So I stuck it in the freezer overnight, and nothing. This would not set, it wouldn't freeze. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?????? AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I'd appreciate any help I can get...before I give myself a stroke.
1 (1/4-ounce) package unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks, beaten
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
2 tblspoons Maraschino cherry juice
1/2 cup chopped marschino cherries
4 large egg whites
3/4 cup granulated sugar
I softened the gelatin in the milk, then tempered the yolks in.
I creamed the cream cheese, then added the gelatin mix, and blended them together. I beat the whites to stiff peak whle adding the sugar. I beat it stiff peaks. I was trying for a layered top and use 3/4 for of the mix for the bottom, and added the cocoa and cherry to the 1/4 that was left and put it on top.
