CLASSIC NEW YORK STYLE CHERRY CHEESECAKE



CLASSIC NEW YORK STYLE CHERRY CHEESECAKE image

Make this creamy, luscious, crack-free, not-too-sweet, cheesecake without a water bath. The hardest part is waiting for it to set overnight in the oven, and then in the fridge, before diving into this self-indulgent dessert.

Provided by loveofitaliancooking

Categories     European

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 , 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup graham cracker crumbs or 1 cup crumbled digestive biscuit
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
2 lbs cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla or 1 sachet vanilla sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • FOR THE CRUST: Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). In a large springform pan (10 inches or 26 cm in diameter), mix crumbs, melted butter and sugar well together. Press firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside. NOTE: The crust recipe can be doubled if you also wish to have a crust on the side of the cheesecake.
  • FOR THE FILLING: In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, flour, sugar, vanilla and heavy cream with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition (don't overmix the batter).
  • Pour batter into prepared springform pan and bake at 400 °F (200 °C) for 10 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 300 °F (150 °C). Continue baking for another 40 minutes.
  • After the baking time is up, gently shake the pan back and forth. The cheesecake should be evenly baked through and uniformly wobbly, but if only the centre is wobbly (about the size of a baseball or roughly 10 cm), it is also fine. Remove cheesecake from oven and carefully run a knife along the edge to loosen the cheesecake from the pan. Place it back in the oven with the heat turned off. Leave the cheesecake over night, with the oven door shut. Put the cheesecake in the fridge the next day for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Top with cherry pie filling or your favourite topping before serving.
  • MAKES 12-16 SLICES (depending on how thick you slice them).

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Pit the cherries: It's important to pit the cherries before using them in the cheesecake. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to do this.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the main ingredient in the cheesecake, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese: Overbeating the cream cheese will make the cheesecake dense and crumbly. Beat the cream cheese just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake in a larger pan filled with hot water and bake according to the recipe instructions.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly: The cheesecake needs to be chilled thoroughly before serving. This will help the cheesecake to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Cherry cheesecake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with everyone. With these tips, you can make the perfect cherry cheesecake every time.
