Now, over the years, I've developed a relatively fool proof basic recipe that I can take from a dozen "mini" cheesecakes to a 14" full size just by multiplying by a factor of 4.
(1 egg, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 block cream cheese, room temperature, 1 tbs vanilla extract. Cream)
That makes 12 cupcake size cheesecakes.
Or it did until tonight.
Tonight, I was making a batch of "Berry Surprise" mini's for an early Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Sheba's & Uncle Bobbie's.
I figured I'd double the recipe, so I started working with 2 blocks of a new product, Cream Cheese & Greek Yogurt blend.
Normally, I'd add some sour cream to make it a New York Style, but I thought "what the hell" when I saw the aforementioned.
Here's where I also made a serious deviation from my usual.
Instead of using a hand mixer, I elected to use the food processor.
Never again.
It broke the batter down to about half its normal volume.
Additionally, because I didn't add sour cream, that was another 3 - 5 oz of missed volume.
So, instead of 24 "Berry Surprise" mini's, I now only have 12.
