Cheesecake with Meringue

Preparation

1. Batter:

- beat eggs and sugar until fluffy.

- slowly add flour, baking powder and butter, mix until smooth

- evenly spread on a well oiled deep baking tray

- bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes (should be slightly brown)

2. Creme:

- mix butter and sugar, individually add the eggs and thoroughly stirr together

- add vanilla pudding mix and corn starch, mix well again

- add curd cheese, sour cream and whipped cream, fold in carefully but make sure there are no clumps

- spread on top the baked batter and keep baking at 300°F for another 50 minutes.

3. Meringue:

- shortly before the 50 minutes are up

- take egg whites and whisk stiff

- slowly add sugar and corn starch and keep beating strongly until the mixtures has a creamy, shiny texture

- spread on top the cheese creme, make sure to leave some space on the edge, since meringue swells while baking.

- bake at 275°F for about 12-15 minutes (Meringue should have light brown tips)
