This recipe goes viral every year. Here's the recipe in case you're ever looking for it.
I make this every year for the Fleurty Girl Christmas Party. This recipe will become a fave at your holiday party. It’s a fave at ours!
Fleurty Girl’s Crabmeat Cheesecake:
I recommend Dorignac’s or Trader Joe’s or Costco for shopping and you have to buy full fat. (Reduced fat cheese doesn't melt right).
Ingredients
Ritz crackers(a sleeve goes to make the crust of the cheese cake, the rest serve with cheese cake)
1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan or Romano Cheese
2 slices of bacon, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 cup Green onions(as desired)
1/2 Stick Butter melted
3 packs of 8 oz. Cream Cheese room temp
3 Eggs
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
16oz Crabmeat (just buy the tub at Dorignac’s or Costco)
2 Cups Swiss Cheese, shredded
Crush one sleeve of ritz cracker mix in melted butter and Parmesan/Romano. Press mix into pie dish or spring pan to make crust.
Drain crabmeat and put on the side
Cook bacon, chop and put aside. Cook diced onion in left over bacon grease until transparent.
Mix onions, green onion, bacon, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, swiss cheese, eggs, and one sleeve of the Ritz crackers together in a mixer or with electric whisk-- or by hand!
After everything's mixed, gently fold in drained crab meat.
Pour mixture over crust and bake on 375 til solid and light golden brown. About 30 -40 minutes (will still be jiggly).
Let cool then place in fridge over night or for 8 hours.
I use a 9-inch springform pan for the one shown to feed a large crowd. For smaller gatherings, I split between two 7-inch springform pans. I usually pull out of the fridge an hour to two hours before guests arrive. Enjoy!
Right out of the oven! This is what it looks like before it cools and I put in fridge. Let cool in fridge overnight.
Take out the cheesecake about an hour before serving. You don't want it cold.
And this is what it looks like after! Always a hit!
