Simple, Easy, Rich Cheesecake
- 3 Eggs
- 150 ml Sugar
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 220 grams Cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Cake flour
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 few drops Vanilla Oil
- 80 grams Biscuits
- 40 grams Melted butter
- These are the ingredients you will be using.
- It is important that the cream cheese, heavy cream and eggs be brought to room temperature in advance.
- This will prevent the cracks on the surface of the cake while baking.
- Place all the ingredients in the blender (or a food processor) and turn the switch on.
- The mixing time will vary depending on the machine.
- 3 sets of 30 second pulse should be enough.
- Don't forget to use a spatula to stir the batter from the bottom every 30 seconds.
- Line a pan with parchment paper.
- If you're using a pan with a removable base, you do not need parchment paper.
- This time I used a square pan instead of a round one.
- Pour the batter into the pan, give the pan several sharp taps against the counter to release trapped air bubbles.
- Bake for 45 minutes in the oven at 170C.
- Adjust the baking time since the temperature will vary depending on the oven.
- Keep an eye on the cake after 35 minutes of baking time.
- My oven for example, takes 35-37 minutes for the cake to turn golden brown.
- At this time, I cover the cake with foil to prevent it from burning.
- After cooling, remove the cake from the pan.
- The cake will puff up at first but will gradually deflate as it cools down.
- Wrap it up in plastic wrap and let it rest overnight.
- You can enjoy it on the same day, but the tastes blends in and it will be even more delicious if you wait until the next day.
- From this step onwards you will be shown an extra twist.
- Making the crust.
- Put biscuits in a sturdy plastic bag, use a rolling pin to crush the biscuits into fine pieces.
- I find Ziplock to be very handy.
- Transfer the biscuits in a bowl, add the melted butter and mix well.
- Press the mixture firmly down into the bottom of the pan.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- When you use a blender to mix the batter, many air bubbles form in the batter making the baked cake's golden brown color uneven (see picture of step 7 and 8).
- This can be prevented with the following method.
- After pouring the batter into the pan, instead of immediately baking, mix the batter from the bottom with a spatula for 10 minutes.
- Be careful if you are baking with the crust.
- Use a fork to smooth out the surface.
- This way the cheesecake should come out beautifully golden brown.
- I should admit, I would skip the extra step if the cake was just for me.
