I make this cheesecake seasonally for work, and it's always a hit. Everyone compliments how delicious it is and that not many homemade cheesecakes turn out so well or taste so good. You'll need a 9-inch springform pan and an electric hand mixer.

Time 6h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup finely ground walnuts
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
½ cup butter, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 eggs, slightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, and cinnamon sugar in the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Add melted butter and mix well. Press into the bottom of the pan and about 1 to 2 inches up the sides. Set aside in a freezer while preparing the filling.
  • Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric hand mixer until combined. Add heavy cream slowly while beating on low speed; continue beating until smooth. Add eggs slowly, 1 at a time, beating on low speed until combined.
  • Remove crust from the freezer and pour in filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until center appears almost set when gently shaken, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove cheesecake carefully from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool, about 15 minutes. Cut around the outer edge using a butter knife to separate from the pan. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes more. Unclip the side of the pan and remove the cake. Let cool for another 30 minutes; chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours to overnight before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your cheesecake. Use fresh cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs. Choose a flavorful graham cracker crust or cookie crust.
  • Be patient: Cheesecake takes time to make. Allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will give the cheesecake time to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cheesecake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking and ensure that it cooks evenly. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Cool the cheesecake slowly: After baking, turn off the oven and leave the door cracked open. This will help the cheesecake to cool slowly and prevent it from sinking.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail, you can make a delicious and impressive cheesecake at home. Whether you prefer a classic New York-style cheesecake or a more creative flavor, there is a recipe out there to suit your taste. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give cheesecake a try.}
