CLASSIC CHEESECAKE



Classic Cheesecake image

This is a classic cheesecake -- velvety, rich, sweet and so satisfying. We are major fans of a thin sour cream cap on top of cheesecakes; it's the perfect balance to this rich cake.

Time 9h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch fine salt
2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups sour cream
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla paste (see Cook's Note) or extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Berries, optional

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • For the crust: Melt the butter, covered in the microwave, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, or a saucepan. Brush a 9-inch springform pan with some of the butter. Stir the remaining butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt. Press the crumb mixture over the bottom of the pan, taking care to get the crust evenly into the edges. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool. Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the pan with foil and put in a roasting pan.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese on medium speed with a hand-held mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat just until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl and beaters as needed. Slowly beat in the sour cream, then eggs, vanilla and both citrus zests; take care not to over whip. Pour into the cooled crust.
  • Bring a medium saucepan or kettle of water to a boil. Gently place the roasting pan in the oven (don't pull the rack out of the oven). Pour in enough hot water to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan. Bake the cheesecake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes---the outside of the cake will set but the center will still be loose.
  • For the topping: Stir together the sour cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spread over the top of the cooked cheesecake and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Turn the oven off, cook the cheesecake in the residual heat in the oven for about 1 hour. This gentle finish minimizes the risk of the dreaded crack in your cheesecake.
  • Remove cheesecake from the roasting pan to a rack. Run a knife around the edges and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Bring cheesecake to room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. Dip a knife in warm water, wipe dry before slicing each piece. Serve with berries, if desired.

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
7 oz graham cracker
2 cups sugar, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
32 oz cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup heavy cream
2 cups sour cream
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch kosher salt
1 vanilla bean
4 large eggs
boiling water, for baking
mixed berry, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the inside edges of the pan with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham crackers, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the melted butter. Pulse to combine until the texture is similar to wet sand.
  • Press the graham cracker crumbs into the prepared pan, using a measuring cup to compact in even layer.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
  • Once cool, line the sides of the springform pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, remaining 2 cups (400 G) of sugar, and the salt. Using an electric hand mixer, blend until well-combined and fluffy.
  • Add the heavy cream and beat to incorporate.
  • Add the sour cream, flour, salt, and vanilla bean seeds, and beat to combine.
  • Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until fully combined, making sure not to over-beat. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust.
  • Wrap the outside of the springform pan tightly with foil and place the pan in a large baking dish. Fill the dish with 1 inch (2 cm) of boiling water.
  • Gently transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 1 hour.
  • Without opening the oven door, turn off the heat and let the cheesecake rest for 1 hour.
  • Remove the springform pan from the baking dish and unwrap the foil. Run a paring knife gently around the outside of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator overnight.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and release the springform pan. Remove the parchment paper lining.
  • Top with fresh berries, if desired.
  • Dip a knife into hot water for clean slices, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

MASTER RECIPE FOR RICH AND CREAMY CHEESECAKE



Master Recipe for Rich and Creamy Cheesecake image

Make this creamy, decadent dessert, then add zest with new flavors.

Provided by USA WEEKEND Pam Anderson

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Cheesecake Recipes     Chocolate Cheesecake Recipes

Time 4h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon softened butter
3 tablespoons crumbs from Famous Chocolate Wafers, graham crackers or ginger snaps, OR
1 (3 ounce) package soft ladyfingers (24 total) left whole, but trimmed to fit pan
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup sour cream
Heavy-duty foil for pan

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position, and heat oven to 325 degrees. Brush interior of a 9-inch springform pan with butter. Add crumbs of choice and tilt pan in all directions to evenly coat, or line pan sides with ladyfingers. Tear off two long strips of heavy-duty foil, overlap in a cross pattern, and set the pan in the middle. Bring up sides, crimping around exterior top of the pan and forming a tight seal. Set it in a roasting pan large enough to hold it.
  • Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat on medium speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down bowl sides and beat again until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl after each addition to ensure a creamy batter. Slowly beat in vanilla, then cream and sour cream. (Meanwhile, bring tea kettle of water to a boil, then turn off heat.)
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Set the roasting pan on oven rack and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the side of the springform pan. Bake until cake perimeter is set but center still jiggles, about 40 minutes (some flavor variations will take longer). Turn off heat and leave oven door ajar; let cheesecake sit in oven so the residual heat continues to cook it, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove pan from water; set on a wire rack. Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until well-chilled, about 3 hours (can be refrigerated up to 4 days). Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan, loosen the spring siding and serve.

COURGETTE & LIME CAKE



Courgette & lime cake image

Use up a glut of courgettes in this loaf cake. You won't taste them - mixing them into the batter creates a tender sponge that carries the lime flavour

Provided by Samuel Goldsmith

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

200g light brown soft sugar
200ml vegetable or sunflower oil, plus extra for the tin
4 eggs
175g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
75g shelled pistachios, ground
1 medium courgette (about 150g), grated
2 limes, zested and juiced
275g soft cheese
100g icing sugar
1 lime, zested and juiced
25g shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Oil a 900g loaf tin and line with baking parchment. Combine the sugar, oil and eggs in a large bowl and mix well. Fold in the flour, baking powder and ground pistachios. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can from the grated courgette using your hands (don't worry about squeezing out every drop), then add this to the bowl along with the lime zest and half the juice, and mix to combine.
  • Bake for 40-50 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Check the cake after 30 mins - if it's looking too brown, cover with foil for the remaining cooking time. Leave to cool in the tin for 20 mins, then transfer to a wire rack, poke a few holes in the top using a skewer and pour over the remaining lime juice. Leave to cool completely. Once cool, will keep frozen for up to a month. Defrost fully before decorating and serving.
  • For the frosting, tip the soft cheese into a bowl, sift over the icing sugar, pour in the lime juice and mix to combine. Spread this over the top of the cooled cake, then sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and lime zest. Will keep chilled in an airtight container for up to three days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cream cheese. Full-fat cream cheese will give the cheesecake a richer flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly.

Conclusion:

Grated cheesecake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for special occasions or everyday gatherings. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and endless topping possibilities, grated cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
