Grandma’s Lemon Topped Cheesecake (A Tribute)

March 28, 2012 by Reeni 23 Comments

I’m doing something a little different from the norm today and sharing a food video with you. A food video called Grandma’s Lemon Topped Cheesecake that brought back strong, sweet and vivid memories of my own Grandma.

Please watch the heartfelt video! It’s beautifully crafted and worth a few minutes of your time.

Visiting my Grandparents was a special occasion and they always treated my sister and I like queens (or princesses).

Grandma served us tea in fancy china cups. The kind you sip with your pinky out. Best of all was the sugar cubes. . .something we never had at home.

There was homemade cream puffs and bakery cannoli. Her special layer cake with cream cheese in the batter served with ice cream.

Trays, piled high, enough to feed a large crowd, of crispy, deep-fried Italian rosettes and pizzelles dusted with powdered sugar, each one perfectly made with her signature pastel mints and Hershey kisses dotted all around the platters.

She always made puddings with plastic over the top so they didn’t form that icky skin with lots of whipped cream on top.

There were savory treats too! Chips and dip. Cheez doodles. Cheese and crackers.

We usually left late at night, lulled to sleep by the long ride home with our bellies full of sugar (and pasta, of course), plates of leftovers clutched to our hearts like treasures and sugar-spun dreams in our heads.

I’d love to hear about a food memory of your own and/or what you thought of the video.

If you would like the cheesecake recipe follow this link to the video on You Tube and click on “show more” under the video.

    Loved the video. Unfortunately my grandmothers died before I was born so the only memories I have are with my mother. Have you ever whisked a cake by hand? My mother had rheumatisms and pain in her hands so as a little girl I would do that job for her. It took hours (at least I thought so) to make a cake ๐Ÿ™

    I enjoyed the video and also your stories of your Grandma! My Grandma was the same way and showed us love by feeding us so much and it was always followed by her pies like peanut butter meringue!

    Moon, you’re our favorite too! Smooches to you!

    I loved the video. What a beautiful cheesecake! My earliest food memory is making chocolate chip cookies (Toll House) and oatmeal raisin cookies (Quaker Oats recipe) with me mother when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Licking the beaters and bowl was the best.
