I bought 16 ounces of cream cheese on a recent grocery order for some recipe or other that I had in mind to make.
Only to find upon checking the ingredient list that it was sour cream I needed, not cream cheese.
So . . . a cheesecake was in order, right?
It got made yesterday and it looks good, I think.
But when I opened the pack of graham crackers to make the crust I thought they smelled and tasted stale.
But I reasoned once they were crumbled and combined with the sugar and butter and salt and baked in the oven with the filling, that aroma and flavor would go away, wouldn't it?
After chilling the cake for some hours I finally had a small sliver last night.
I'm not so sure.
It seemed like those faults were still there, making my first cheesecake perhaps . . . inedible?
The BRD had recommended topping it with a raspberry coulis earlier.
I may have to try something like that.
I'd hate to have to just dump it.
