CHEESE CAKE

Cheese cake is not a cake; it is a custard. The ideal cheesecake should be rich, creamy, and thick like a custard. The proteins in the eggs give a cheesecake its structure, just like they do with any custard. At 150 degrees, the proteins start to clump together. Overbaking causes the custard to dry out.

Three layers make up a New York cheesecake, the first of which is a Graham Cracker Crust. The next component is a rich, tangy, sweet, and creamy (but incredibly smooth and dense) cream cheese filling. The sour cream on top has been mildly sweetened. This cheesecake is excellent on its own, but you can also serve it with fruit sauce or fresh berries.

Why do people like Cheese Cake

The Graham Cracker Crust, which is by far the easiest pie crust to create, is how we begin this recipe. After combining the ingredients, squeeze some onto your hand to check if you have the proper ratio of crumbs to melted butter. It's prepared to press into your pan if the crumbs stay together.

Use full fat (normal) cream cheese for the cheesecake filling, and make sure the eggs and cream are at room temperature as well. Without bringing up the potential problems, most notably how to avoid cracking and when are cheesecakes fully baked, we cannot discuss about cheesecakes. First, overbeating the batter or losing too much moisture during baking are the two main causes of surface cracks in cooked cheesecakes (over baking).

How to bake Cheese Cake

With the oven rack in the middle, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). A 9-inch (23-cm) round springform pan should be butter or nonstick vegetable spray-coated.
Graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter should be combined in a medium-sized basin; whisk until all the crumbs are moistened (can also make the crust in your food processor). In the springform pan, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides about an inch (2.5 cm). While you prepare the filling, cover and chill the dish.
Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest. Add the flour and mix.
Put the cream cheese, sugar mixture, and vanilla extract in the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer). Beat at a medium-low speed until smooth, scraping the bowl's bottom and sides as necessary. One at a time, add the eggs, beating well (for about 30 seconds) between additions. Whipping cream can be added; beat until combined. Place the filling inside the crust after removing it from the refrigerator. To catch any drips, set the springform pan on a larger baking sheet before placing it in the oven.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), baking for an additional 60 to 70 minutes, or until firm (the centre of the cheesecake will still look a little wet, and if you gently shake the pan the cheesecake will jiggle just a bit). Place on a wire rack after taking out of the oven.
Topping: In the meantime, combine the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla essence in a small basin. Spread the topping over the hot cheesecake, then put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes of baking. Place on a wire rack after taking out of the oven. To quickly loosen the cheesecake, quickly run a knife or spatula over the inside edge of the pan (helps prevent the surface from cracking as it cools). Place uncovered in the refrigerator for about an hour to chill after fully cooling at room temperature. After that, wrap in plastic and chill for at least 8 hours, ideally overnight.
1 cheesecake, 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter.
Frozen cheesecake should be placed on a baking sheet and left exposed until solid. After that, wrap the food in foil and put it in a freezer bag or container. Place in freezer after sealing. can be frozen for a long time. In the fridge overnight, defrost cheesecake that hasn't been covered.

Best ways to enjoy a Cheese Cake

As opposed to a butter cake, you don't want to integrate a lot of air into the mixture, thus beating the ingredients at low speed can help prevent cracks. Just enough to make the mixture lovely and smooth. As for overbaking cheesecakes, this is a typical issue because it can be challenging to determine when a cheesecake is finished. The cheesecake should be firm, but if you gently shake the pan, it should still wobble a bit and the middle should still appear somewhat wet. As soon as the cheesecake is baked, trim the inside edges with a knife or spatula because it will shrink as it cools. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 24 hours before serving for the greatest texture and flavour.
