   Dividing the dough

    Secrets of baking cheesecake - important nuances

12. We heat the oven to 170 degrees, pour water into the baking sheet by about 1/10 of the height of the mold, as the cake is baked in a water bath.
13. Our form is detachable, so we wrap it with foil from below so that water from the baking sheet cannot penetrate inside the form. I am confident in my shape, but I still use foil just in case.

    We cover our form with foil from above, so our cheesecake will remain white.

    

    

    Wrap the mold in foil

14. We send our wrapped form to the oven, put it directly on a baking sheet with water and bake for 50 minutes at 170 degrees.

    Important! We do not open the oven during this time. And after the end of the baking time, leave the cheesecake inside for another hour, again without touching the oven. After that, we take out our cake and put it in the refrigerator. I always bake it in the evening, so that it has all night to infuse and gain the right consistency.

That's it, our homemade cheesecake is ready! It turns out a thin sandy base and a very delicate creamy filling that holds its shape and does not spread.



I cut the cake right in the mold because it has a ceramic base. If you get it out of the mold, then keep in mind that it is quite heavy, act carefully.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

New York cheesecake recipe

Cheesecake is a cult dessert. Despite the simplicity in preparation, it represents something more than a New Year's cake or pie. And this is against the background of the fact that hard-to-reach and expensive ingredients are not required for cooking.

Previously, cheesecake was prepared on the basis of cottage cheese, until in 1929 the American culinary specialist Reuben replaced it with cream cheese. Thanks to this ingredient, the classic delicacy has turned into a delicate, brilliant and pretentious treat.

Even a novice cook can cope with the culinary task. The main thing is the recipe and a set of products. To prevent the cheese filling from cracking, room temperature ingredients are used. That's the whole secret of cheesecake, which is combined with cocoa or tea.

Ingredients:

• Shortbread cookies - 100 g.
• Butter - 30 g.
• Cream cheese - 480 g.
• Fatty cream - 150 ml.
• Sugar - 50 g.
• Eggs - 2 pcs.
• Vanillin.

Cooking:

1. First of all, prepare the base. Grind shortbread cookies, combine with softened butter and a few tablespoons of water. After mixing thoroughly, get a moistened mass, which you put on the bottom of a parchment-lined split form and form a cake. Send the form with the base for dessert to the oven for ten minutes. The temperature is 180 degrees.
2. To prepare the filling, mix eggs with sugar, vanilla and cream. Add cheese to the resulting mass and beat with a mixer until a creamy and fluffy consistency is obtained. Put the finished filling on top of the cake.
3. Release excess air from the filling. To do this, slightly raise the form above the table and throw it sharply. Repeat several times. As a result, the mass will be compacted, and the voids in the cheese filling will disappear.
4. Bake the cheesecake in a water bath so that the temperature is evenly distributed. Pour almost boiling water into the container. Bring the cheesecake to readiness at a low temperature, otherwise the soufflé will quickly rise and become covered with cracks.
5. At a temperature of 150 degrees, keep the dessert in the oven for 90 minutes. Then turn off the oven, but do not rush to get the treat. I recommend doing this after 3 hours, after the cheesecake, place in the refrigerator for 6 hours.
6. To decorate the finished dish, I recommend using powdered sugar, icing, grated chocolate or fresh berries.

Economy is also important: for cooking, we need simple and inexpensive products. Well, the simplicity of making this dessert will appeal even to housewives who have just begun to master kitchen wisdom.

There are a huge number of cheesecake recipes in the world. American housewives prefer to bake this dish in the oven, while in Europe it is often served raw. By and large, this is only a matter of taste, because all the ingredients present in most cheesecake recipes are already ready to eat.

Our article will tell you about all the intricacies of preparing this treat, and in addition, it will offer a few ideas for improvisation. Armed with the information received, you can easily prepare this dessert.

no bake cheesecake base

It is difficult to come up with anything simpler than a sand base on which the curd mousse rests like a cloud. After trying the result, you will be surprised that such a harmonious union can turn out from the simplest products. The crust is an essential ingredient, it is included in any cheesecake.

1. The classic no-bake cottage cheese recipe involves the use of a split mold. Install it on the board. And we will do the cake like this:
2. Grind 250 grams of any shortbread cookie in any convenient way into crumbs. Place half a pack of butter on a saucer and cover with a glass or cup with scalded boiling water for 3 minutes. This method allows you to quickly heat the oil to the desired state.
3. Combine the butter and cookie crumbs, mix the mass thoroughly so that it becomes homogeneous.
4. Firmly press the “dough” into the bottom of the mold, gently spreading it over the entire surface in an even layer.
5. Remove the mold from the refrigerator.

By the way, to prepare the base, it is not at all necessary to buy the most expensive shortbread cookies. Even a broken one will do (it's much cheaper). The main condition is that the cookies must be very fresh.

A little improvisation

Why not experiment and make an unusual cheesecake? The recipe without baking with cottage cheese provides ample opportunities for improvisation.

For example, for the base, you can use cookies with the taste of coffee or baked milk. And if you do not plan to treat children with dessert, you can drop a few drops of liquor or cognac into the crumbs. A very beautiful base with an expressive taste of chocolate will come from Oreo. You can add chocolate drops, a little boiled condensed milk, nuts fried in a dry frying pan to the crumbs of ordinary cookies. And if you use Savoyardi cookies soaked in strong coffee as a base, the cheesecake will taste like the famous Tiramisu dessert.

Suitable curd

For the preparation of cheesecakes, different fillings are used: homemade cottage cheese, various varieties of cream and curd cheese, and even tofu. It is worth noting that for most recipes, these options are interchangeable.

We are looking at the curd recipe. Therefore, it is worth mentioning which product is the best.

Most confectioners advise using high-fat homemade cottage cheese. It has an expressive taste and an interesting structure. But a no-bake cheesecake with cottage cheese can also be prepared from a store-bought product. Moreover, if you want to achieve a calorie reduction, you can even use fat-free cottage cheese. In any case, before preparing the filling, it will need to be crushed as much as possible, passing through a fine metal sieve.

curd layer

First of all, soak 15 g of gelatin in very hot water. Remember, at temperatures above 85 ° C, gelatin loses its properties, but too cold is not good either. The optimal value is 75-80 degrees.

Load 500 grams of cottage cheese into a blender bowl, send 100 ml of fat sour cream there, 4 tbsp. l. sugar and some vanilla extract. Punch carefully and let stand for a while so that the sugar dissolves.

Stir the gelatin mixture, pour it through a sieve into the curd cream and mix with a spatula.

Spread the mixture over the cookie layer, smoothing evenly. To avoid bubbles and bumps, do not lay out the entire cream at once, load in portions.

It will take about 4 hours for the no-bake cheesecake with cottage cheese to freeze properly. Send the container to the refrigerator. When the curd cream hardens, carefully unzip the mold, remove the side, transfer the dessert to a serving dish. The recipe is fine in this version, but we will consider a few more unusual ideas.

Berry flavor

Since we decided that summer is a great time to make no-bake cottage cheese cheesecake with gelatin, we will use its potential to the maximum.

You can add berries to the curd filling: currants, strawberries, cherries, raspberries. Choose any! You can smash the berries in a puree and squeeze it through cheesecloth into a curd base, or you can add them whole. In the context of the dessert will look very colorful. For the indicated amount, you will need about 2/3 cups of berries.

Fruits are also suitable: peaches, nectarines, plums, ripe soft pears.

low calorie dessert

A small calorie content of the top layer can be provided with low-fat cottage cheese. And for sweetness, it is better to add honey. Its calorie content is not much lower than that of granulated sugar, but it will take quite a bit to get a great taste.

Options for the holiday

The basic recipe for this treat can also be used for a celebration. You can make a no-bake cheesecake with cottage cheese and cookies very quickly, because the active cooking time is no more than half an hour. In the meantime, the dessert freezes, you can pay attention to the rest of the ideas.

Soak 30 g of gelatin, and after 20 minutes put in a water bath, heat until the crystals dissolve. 200 g of sweets "Korovka" without wrappers, cut in half and pour half a glass of milk. Put the dishes on a small fire, do not forget to stir. Beat 400 g of cottage cheese, add an incomplete glass of fat sour cream, swollen gelatin and candy-milk mass. Put the cream on the cake and keep the no-bake cottage cheese cheesecake with gelatin in the refrigerator for 10-12 hours. By the way, "Oreo" is suitable for the base just fine.

How to decorate a cheesecake?

In the summer, you can use pieces of fruit, berries, mint leaves. Chocolate chips look beautiful on curd cream.

A frozen no-bake cheesecake with cottage cheese and cookies can be poured over with ganache or icing. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time decorating, just melt half of the chocolate bar in the microwave, mix with 50 grams of room temperature butter and spread over the surface. What could be more appetizing than chocolate?

So why does everyone associate the classic cheesecake with New York City? And here's the thing. In 1929, Arnold Reuben, owner of the legendary Turf restaurant in New York City, announced that his family had invented the world's first cream cheese pie recipe (while other bakeries made similar pies with cottage cheese). According to the legend, Arnold was served such a cake at a reception in a private house, and he fell in love with dessert from the first bite :) Later, he tried to reproduce the recipe in his kitchen, and he succeeded. Soon, Reuben began serving cream cheese pie in his restaurant, which made the cheesecake very popular with Americans. This is how the classic New York cheesecake was born.
