How to make cheesecake with cream cheese? Prepare the products to make the base. I take a simple shortbread cookie from a pack, such as Jubilee, you can also use crackers, waffles or biscuit. Choose high-quality oil, without additives, in accordance with GOST. The quality of the base will largely depend on its taste.
How to make a foundation? Grind the biscuits in any way. I put it in a tight bag and hit it with a rolling pin. You can use a blender, meat grinder or harvester. The main thing is to make crumbs out of it.
Melt the oil in any available way. Read about how to do this at the end of the recipe. I usually drown in a thick-bottomed saucepan, on the smallest fire. Then cool the oil a little.
Fold the crumbs into a deep bowl, pour in the chilled oil. Stir the biscuits with the butter until smooth.
Prepare a form in which you will bake cheesecake. I bake in a pastry ring, 20cm in diameter, the bottom is formed from foil, folded into several layers. I do not lubricate the uniform with anything. If you bake in the usual form, then grease the bottom and sides with oil, and wrap the bottom carefully with foil, because we will bake cheesecake in water.
Pour the crumb to the bottom and carefully compress it with something flat, such as the bottom of a glass. I make a cheesecake without sides, if you want with them, you will have to increase the number of products. Send the prepared base to the refrigerator during the preparation of the filling.
Prepare the products for filling. It is important to remove them from the refrigerator in advance so that they warm to room temperature, then the filling will be tender and uniform. Take the most fatty, high-quality, natural cream. You can take potato starch, but then you need it half as much. Take cream cheese without additives, of high quality, of the Philadelphia type.
How to make a filling? Take a large bowl, put cheese and sugar in it, mix well. Then add sour cream and cream, mix again. Next, drive in the eggs. And mix the mass again until smooth. In general, for a cheesecake, you do not need to beat anything, it does not need airiness, so work as a regular whisk. Next, put the starch, lemon juice and a pinch of vanillin. Mix completely. The filling is ready.
Remove the base from the fridge. Pour the filling over it. Shake the mold a little to spread it evenly.
Place the mould in a high-sided baking tray. Pour boiling water into the baking sheet, about a liter. Place in a preheated oven. Bake the cheesecake for 30 minutes at t 180 degrees. Then turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in it for an hour.
After an hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool it completely, already at room temperature. Then put it in the fridge for 8 hours.
After cooling, the cheesecake is completely stabilized. Remove the tin from it and transfer the cheesecake to the dish. Enjoy your meal!
Be sure to wash your eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
Butter can be melted in a microwave or in a water bath. How to melt butter in the microwave? Cut the butter into small pieces and place in a special container. To prevent oil from splashing when heated, cover the oil vessel with a paper towel. The oil should be melted either at the lowest capacity or in defrosting mode. In the beginning, five seconds is enough. Next, if the oil has not yet melted, reinstall for 5 seconds and start the microwave. Repeat the process multiple times to the desired result. How to melt oil correctly in a water bath? Two vessels of different diameters will be needed. Pour water into a large one and place on the stove. Install a smaller container on top so as to immerse it in water about half. Put the sliced butter in it. Under the influence of boiling water, the oil will begin to melt. Stir the oil lightly to speed up the process. Once the oil pieces have completely dissolved, remove the container from the stove.
