FAMILY CHEESECAKE SQUARES
Though these squares may sound time-consuming to make, they're actually easy. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool so you can gobble them up! This recipe's been in our family for years, I like serving the squares at room temperature, but they're good cold, too. They're delicious topped with strawberries or cherry pie filling. I'm a "homebody" who enjoys any kind of cooking (for 5 years, I've been baking once a week for my husband's group at work). We have five children and three grandchildren.

FAMILY CHEESECAKE
This recipe for a crustless cheesecake came from the 11/8/05 issue of Family Circle Magazine. I have developed allergies to wheat and soy so this is perfect for those with these allergies. You won't miss the crust and I found this to be the best cheesecake I have eaten....dietary restrictions or not. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 10 inch springform pan with cooking spray (I am allergic to soy so I use an olive oil pump). Wrap the outside of the springform pan with aluminum foil so there will be no water seepage into the cake.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, then cornstarch, butter, cream and eggs, beating well after each addition. Pour into prepared pan and place pan filled with 1" of water.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until golden brown. When done place on a wire rack to cool.
- Once it has cooled (this is about 3 hours) remove the side of the springform pan, cover and put in refridgerator. Whatever you do don't be tempted to cut it until it is completely cooled or it will collapse and run. Be patient it is worth the wait.
- This can be made up to 4 days ahead of time if need be and it is supposed to freeze well but we didn't have any morsels left to freeze.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your cheesecake. Use full-fat cream cheese, pure vanilla extract, and fresh lemons for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to create a smooth and creamy texture. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Let the cheesecake cool slowly: Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven with the door cracked open. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: Chilling the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will allow the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.
