# Glutenfree Cheesecake Inspired by Victor Benes Bakery

I am  infatuated by the Cheesecake from Victor Benes.  I had to figure out how to make it myself and to be gluten free.  So Sunday, I went to Victor Benes Bakery and bought a slice and looked at it carefully. I saw there was a lemon or Orange Curd or Jelly. Then I thought to myself that's marmalade.  So Quickly figured out How to Make and assemble together.

So here is my inspiration,

and here is my creation!

Now here's how you make this fabulous and easy dessert.




Cheesecake Ingredients:
1 Cup of  Powdered Sugar
1 Cup of Gluten Free All Purpose flour
1 Stick of butter (1/2 Cup) Cubed
2 Tablespoons of Marmalade
5 eggs Separated
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
(2) 8 oz Bricks of Cream Cheese
3 Tablespoons  Powder Sugar for Garnish

Equipment
1 Large Loaf Pan
Parchment Paper
Cooking Spray
13 x 9 Pan to place loaf Pan in water bath
1 inch of water
Saran Wrap
Stand Mixer
Spoonula

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a bowl take 1st 3 Ingredients Butter, Powder Sugar and Gluten Free Flour and mix together until a crumbly texture forms.

Take Parchment and cut 2 Strips to fit Loaf Pan both diagonal and Horizonally then Spray with cooking spray. Next poor crumbly mixture into loaf pan press down until firm. place in oven for 16 to 18 minutes until golden and bubbly.

While Crust is baking start filling by seperating eggs in to seperate bowls.

Whip Whites until Stif peaks form.

Next in seperate bowl add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to yolks and

beat until a buttery yellow texture forms

Next add Cream cheese and bead until semi creamy.

Buy now you will need to pull out the crust out of the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes then spread Marmalade.

Reduce oven heat to 300  degrees and place on Convection setting.

Go Back to your cream cheese mixture and  fold in the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture a 1/3 at a time.

When all eggs are folded in gently scoop cream cheese mixture into loaf pan.

Next add 1 inch of water into your 13 x 9 pan then place loaf pan in and place in oven for a hour.
Let Cool then Wrap container in Saran Wrap and place in refrigerator over night.

Next Day pull out of pan and place on plate and garnish with powdered sugar.

Enjoy and See you soon.

I love Paula Deen and I also love that every once in a while we hear from her at #Sunday Supper. So when I heard we needed a recipe that inspired us from our favorite Television Chef I immediately thought about her recipe for Pork in a Pot with Sauerkraut  Then I thought I must make it in Chicken because one I'm not a fan of pork and two I never have a lot of time in my day to cook dinner? I don’t !!! So with my busy schedule of working, raising a family and writing. I fall back on my crock pot as soon as Autumn roles around. Here is a recipe you can make either on your way to work, on low for 8 hours, or if you can stop by home at lunch cook at the high setting for 4 hours. You decide!!!

Chicken on a bed of Sauerkraut Ingredient's:

1  16-Ounce Jar Aunt Nellie's Red Cabbage
4 Chicken breast
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Cup dried apricots
2 Granny Smith apples
Slice 1 yellow onion
2 teaspoons of dill weed

Take a Jar of Red Cabbage Sauerkraut and place in bottom of crock Pot.

Next season with Salt and pepper
Brown chicken breast in olive oil

After browned place on top of Cabbage

Sprinkle Apricots on top of Chicken

Next peel and slice Apples and sprinkle on top.

Now place onion on top

Then season with Dill weed and put in crock pot on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours you decide.

I serve on a bed of mashed potatoes. You could also serve with rice you decide.
