AUNT RUTH'S FAMOUS BUTTERSCOTCH CHEESECAKE



Aunt Ruth's Famous Butterscotch Cheesecake image

Aunt Ruth was our nanny when I was little and made this cheesecake often. Since it had to chill overnight, it was torture when my sister and I had to wait until the next day to have a piece. When I visited my old neighborhood and stopped by her house, she offered me a piece of that wonderful cheesecake. I made sure to leave with a copy of the recipe! -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Tips and Conclusion

Here's a summary of tips and conclusion based on the provided recipes in the article:

Tips:

  • Begin with a graham cracker crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar then press firmly into a springform pan. Set in fridge while preparing cheesecake batter.
  • Utilize a water bath to prevent cheesecake from cracking during baking. Place the springform pan inside a large roasting pan and carefully add hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  • For a creamy cheesecake, use full-fat cream cheese, brought to room temperature before mixing. Beat until smooth and free of lumps for an even texture.
  • Slowly incorporate sugar and eggs into the cream cheese mixture to prevent curdling or incorporating too much air.
  • Adding sour cream or Greek yogurt to the cheesecake batter will help keep it moist and creamy.
  • Use high-quality butterscotch chips or butterscotch sauce for an intense butterscotch flavor. Fold these into the cheesecake batter towards the end of mixing to prevent overmixing.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at a temperature of 325°F (165°C) for 50-60 minutes or until the center is almost set.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating. This will help prevent the top from sinking. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a richer butterscotch flavor, drizzle with additional butterscotch sauce or caramel before serving.
  • Experiment with different toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, or chopped nuts to complement the butterscotch flavor.
