Paula Deen's Outrageous Yankee Cheesecake with Citrus Glaze -

[gayr]

The recipe calls for seven (7) pakages of 8-ounce cream cheese.

I have never seen a recipe calling for 7 packages of cream cheese. I have seen 5 packages but not 7.

It sounds wonderful, but states not to use a springform pan with the recipe ... instead use an 8 x 3" cake pan?

Any Comments?

Public House Pumpkin Cheesecake uses six 8-oz for a 10x3 pan.

10x3 = ~235 cubic inches of volume = ~14.8 C;
an 8x3 = ~150 volume = ~9.5C.

Paula's recipe doesn't add much more than the 7 creamcheese...only 4 eggs + 1.5 Cup of other ingredients. The Public House uses 6 8-oz cream cheese, plus 6 eggs and 4.5 C of other ingredients.

Intuitively, the volume seems like it would be a problem, but I think it would work. It would have to be a thin crust though. And using less eggs means there would be less rising effect.
