The Ohio Holstein Convention will be here soon, and the Ohio Holstein Women will hold their annual fun auction at the conclusion of the awards luncheon. We encourage each district to bring an auction item as well as any farm or individual who would like to help raise money. The proceeds are used to fund scholarships,
improvements for the OHA office and association activities. We thank all of you who have donated or purchased items in the past.
Wishing all of our Holstein friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Cheese Cake with Gingersnap Crust
FOR THE CRUST: 2 c. Gingersnap Crumbs 6 tbsp. Unsalted Butter, melted 2 tbsp. Sugar 1 pinch Fine Sea Salt FOR THE FILLING: 24 oz. weight Cream Cheese, At Room Temperature 1 1/4 c. Sugar 1/4 tsp. Fine Sea Salt 4 Eggs At Room Temperature 2 tsp. Fresh Lemon Juice 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract 12 oz. fluid Greek Yogurt (2% Or Full Fat), At Room Temperature FOR THE TOPPING: 3/4 c. Whipped Cream 2 tbsp. Sugar 2 tsp. Vanilla Preheat oven to 350ºF. Wrap 3 layers of foil around the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. In a blender or food processor, pulse the crust
ingredients together until combined. Press into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven onto a cooling rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 325ºF. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on low speed until no lumps remain. Add in the sugar and salt; continue mixing on low until the ingredients are incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until fully incorporated. Continue scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Keeping the mixer on low speed, add in the lemon juice, vanilla, and Greek yogurt. (Stir the yogurt first if it has separated while coming to room temperature.) Mix just until combined. Pour the filling into the pan and place it into a large roasting pan. Place the pan into the oven and quickly pour hot water into the roasting
pan so that it comes up about 1 inch up the foil-wrapped springform pan. Bake for 55–70 minutes or until the cheesecake is set on the sides and just jiggles a bit in the center when the pan is shaken. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and place back in the warm oven. Turn the oven off and crack the oven door. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a thin knife along the edge of the pan. Let the cheesecake continue to cool to room temperature. Place in the refrigerator for several hours to chill completely. Before serving, make the whipped cream. Place a mixing bowl and mixer’s whisk attachment in the freezer for a few minutes. Pour the whipped cream into the chilled bowl and add the sugar and vanilla. Beat just until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream across the entire cake or add a dollop to each piece as it’s served.
