HOMEMADE CHEESECAKE RECIPE

Today I'm so excited to point out you ways to form the simplest cheesecake recipes for your life. Simple, classic, and no water bath required!! the feel is smooth, rich, and Creamy, served quite the fresh-made crust cracker.

For a prescription with so little cheese ingredients, eggs, sugar, soured cream , vanilla & salt, it takes tons longer than you would possibly think to develop the right version. i have been sharing some cheesecake variations within the past, including my No-Bake cheesecake, but getting the refined version of the classic took tons of testing.

HOMEMADE CHEESECAKE RECIPE

I always find them for many of the unnecessary with cheesecake. Cook you at low temperatures and follow the ideas below and you'll have perfect cream and crack-less cheesecake without all the effort of a water bath.

It is important that your cheese involves temperature before you begin making your cheesecake. this may prevent any lump and ensure cheesecake with a smooth, soft texture. However, to make sure that each one of your ingredients blend together well and deliver the specified results, all of them need to be at temperature before you begin.

INGREDIENTS:

• Graham Cracker Crust¹
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (170g)
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 Tablespoon brown sugar (can substitute white)
• 7 Tablespoons butter melted

Cheesecake

• 32 oz cream cheese² softened to room temperature (910g)
• 1 cup sugar 200g
• ⅔ cups sour cream 160g
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs room temperature, lightly beaten

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 325F (160C).
2. Prepare Graham Cracker crust first by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and brown sugar, and stirring well. Add melted butter and use a fork to combine ingredients well.
3. Pour crumbs into a 9” Springform pan and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your pan. Set aside.

Cheesecake

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl (using a hand mixer) add cream cheese and stir until smooth and creamy (don’t over-beat or you’ll incorporate too much air).
2. Add sugar and stir again until creamy.
3. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt, and stir until well-combined. If using a stand mixer, make sure you pause periodically to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula so that all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
4. With mixer on low speed, gradually add lightly beaten eggs, one at a time, stirring just until each egg is just incorporated. Once all eggs have been added, use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl again and make sure all ingredients are well combined.
5. Pour cheesecake batter into prepared springform pan. To insure against leaks, place pan on a cookie sheet that’s been lined with foil.
6. Transfer to oven and bake on 325F (160C) for about 75 minutes. Edges will likely have slightly puffed and may have just begun to turn a light golden brown and the center should spring back to the touch but will still be Jello-jiggly. Don't over-bake or the texture will suffer, which means we all suffer.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool on top of the oven³ for 10 minutes. Once 10 minutes has passed, use a knife to gently loosen the crust from the inside of the springform pan (this will help prevent cracks as your cheesecake cools and shrinks).
8. Allow cheesecake to cool another 1-2 hours or until near room temperature before transferring to refrigerator and allowing to cool overnight or at least 6 hours. Enjoy!
