THE BEST CHEESECAKE EVER.
Hartman's Steakhouse cheesecake.
First let me say, if you've had their cheesecake, you know it's crustless and was baked in a Bundt pan.
My granny, Betty Lou McDonald worked there over 40 years and made Mrs. Hartman's cheesecake often, especially during the holidays.
She swore you had grease and flour your bundt pan very well... Throughout the years, I've found that Baker's Joy baking spray works just fine and less mess and time.
When you do the eggs, do them one at a time.. She also swore by hand was the only way... But again... An electric hand mixer works great, as long as your cream cheese is room temp.. BIG REMINDER... THE FIRST 10-12 minutes is at a preheated 500° oven, and you MUST REMEMBER to turn it down to 200°.
So, here we go:
Hartman's Steakhouse cheesecake:
5 blocks Philadelphia cream cheese, room temp
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 Tablespoons SR flour
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon extract (or flavoring, do NOT use lemon juice)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream--USE LAST
Finally, Hartman's had crushed pineapple in theirs, personally, I don't use it but if you do it's the small CRUSHED AND DRAINED can.
Beat your cream cheese and sugar till smooth, add eggs and beat one at a time.
Add remaining ingredients, EXCEPT heavy cream. Mix very well. Lastly add the heavy cream and stir gently until it's mixed in well.
Pour into your prepared Bundt pan. Tap your pan carefully on the counter top to let some of the air bubbles escape.
Bake, 500° for 10-12 minutes.
IMMEDIATELY turn oven down to 200°and bake for 55-60 minutes.
Let cool a good couple of hours before flipping onto your plate. But don't let it get completely cold or it may break coming out.
I like strawberry sauce on mine.
Hartman's was a very famous, very lucrative restaurant in Durham, NC
Edit.. I've gotten lots of msgs regarding refrigeration.. PLEASE put it in the frig, as it will mold if left out. When we made it during Christmas in the South, if it got below 40° it was fine hanging out in the garage in a covered cake plate. Who has room in the frig during Christmas!?
