How do you make the best home made cheese cake?!
Answers: I am not asking for websites or recipes from books, but I would like some kind of home made cheese cakes that taste good and that isn't time consuming.
Graham Cracker crust (from recipe on the box.) Do not pre bake the crust I find that it tastes burned if you do. Put in 8 inch spring form pan -bottom and up the sides a bit.
pre heat oven to 425 degrees placing a pan of water on the lowest shelf in the oven
Mix 4 - 8 oz pkgs room temp cream cheese with
1/3 cup of sugar just until blended, add 4 eggs beating between each addition,
1 TB lemon juice
1 heaping TB flour
1 teas vanilla
Mix together just until blended ,don't over beat
pour batter into crust and bake for 10 min. turn down temp. to 325 degrees and bake for 40 min and then turn off oven and let set in the oven for 40 min. take it out of the oven and let cool for 10min , run a knife around the edges and remove the spring form ring. cool at room temp for an hour before putting in the fridge. Top with fruit when cool or eat plain.
I make cheese cakes for friends and relatives ( weddings and party's) This recipe always turns out, the water in the oven keeps the cake moist and prevents it from cracking.
Hope this helps! Happy Baking!
with help from the guy and go by the steps really good!
trust me on this one, it's the best ever:
~~Chantal's New York Cheesecake~~
INGREDIENTS
15 graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
(I like to add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream so it'll make the crust soft and easy to cut)
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
3. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.
Then i would suggest the boxed kind from the store....lol...only cuz homemade usually is more time consuming!!!
You can jazz up the boxed kind with toppings like... fruit & granola, coconut, cookie crumbs, nuts...etc
Sorry to be so generic suggesting the boxed mix....but that is the least time consuming and still tastes yummy!!!
