Nothing crazy new, but did a cheesecake on the WSM Sunday. Or actually my head desert maker (aka my girlfriend) made a cheesecake on the WSM as I took pictures and licked the spatulas, mixing beaters and bowl clean. Oh it was a pumpkin cheesecake.
Did it on the WSM because she wanted to practice for a competition coming up where desert is looped into "anything but" and it all has to be made on site whether it is meat or desert. Always awesome to hear your significant other say lets cook on the smoker :-D.
We just used Kingsford with no wood. Cheesecake cooked without really anything weird happening. Not that I thought it would catch on fire or anything, but the heat is slightly different than an oven. Ran it at 325 and it took about 90mins to bake I think (she was doing all the baking as I was sitting reading on the forum).
Crust baking.

Water bath using a full sheet pan, had to crimp it to make it fit.

Doing a quick caramel drizzle practice on some slices. We'll have some more garnish at the competition.

I was stalking the plate waiting for the perfect time to strike.....aka when I was approved to eat. It didn't get done till 11pm, but nothing wrong with a few pieces of cheesecake before bed right?
