Sf Baked Cheesecake Recipes

CLASSIC BAKED CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160C/320F (standard) or 140C/295F (fan/convection).
• Get a 20cm/8" springform cake tin. Turn the base UPSIDE DOWN (Note 4), butter lightly and place a square piece of parchment/baking paper on the base. Then clip into the springform pan - excess paper will stick out, see photos in post and video.
• Butter and line the side of the pan.
• Break up biscuits roughly by hand and place in a food processor.
• Blitz until fine crumbs (Note 5). Add butter, briefly blitz until dispersed and it resembles wet sand.
• Pour into the prepared cake tin. Use a spatula to roughly spread it out over the base and up the walls.
• Use something with a flat base and vertical edges (I used a measuring cup) to press the crumbs up the wall almost to the top of the sides, and flatten the base.
• Use a mixer or beater to beat the cream cheese until smooth - about 30 seconds on medium high,.
• Add flour, beat until just combined (10 sec).
• Add vanilla, sour cream, sugar and lemon zest. Beat until just combined (10 - 15 sec).
• Add eggs one at a time, beat in between until just combined (10 sec each). Don't over beat, do not want to aerate the batter.
• Pour into prepared crust.
• Bake for 55 minutes. The top should be a very light golden brown, not cracked, and near perfectly flat. It should jiggle slightly when you gently shake the pan.
• Cool the cake in the oven with the door open 20 cm / 8" (Note 6), then refrigerate for 4 hours+ in the pan.
• Remove sides. Use overhang paper to slide cheesecake off the cake pan. Then slide the cheesecake off the paper.
• Top with berries and dust with icing sugar!

CREAMY SMALL BATCH CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Lower the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the cheesecake from the pan. Set aside.
• Mix all of the crust ingredients together. Pour into prepared loaf pan and using medium pressure, press the crust mixture down with your hand so it's compact in the pan. Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the edges and top.
• While the crust is pre-baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on high speed until completely smooth. Beat in the sugar, egg, vanilla, and lemon juice until completely combined and smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed.
• Pour the batter on top of the warm crust and smooth into an even layer. It will look like a lot of cheesecake batter, but it will sink down as it bakes.
• Bake the cheesecake for 40-45 minutes, until the entire surface is set. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cheesecake should come out *mostly* clean.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cool, refrigerate the cheesecake for 4 hours and up to 1 day.
• Remove the chilled cheesecake from the pan using the overhang on the sides. Slice and serve with optional toppings, if desired.

(40-50 min) cool completely on rack then cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 24 hours and up to 2 days.
• 5. 5. To unmold the cake, cover the pan with tightly stretched plastic wrap; then place a plate on top. Invert the pan and tap gently to release the cake. Remove parchment. Place a cake plate on the cake and invert so that the cake is right side up. Press the graham cracker crumbs around the sides of cake.
