Best The Best Baked Cheesecake In The World No Seriously Recipes

THE BEST CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• For the crust: Put the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl, cover with a paper towel and melt in the microwave in 10-second increments. Brush a 9-inch springform pan with some of the melted butter.
• Stir together the remaining butter with the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan, taking care to get the crust evenly to the edges. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool. Place the pan on a large sheet of foil and wrap up the sides. Place in a roasting pan.
• For the cheesecake: Beat together the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat until just combined. Mix in the eggs by hand, one at a time, until just combined. (Take care not to overmix or the cheesecake will puff up and crack.) Pour the batter evenly over the crust, smoothing the top. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides of the foil-wrapped springform pan. Bake until the outside of the cake is set but the center is still slightly loose, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour. Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
• Run a knife around the edge of the pan once more and unlock to unmold the cheesecake. Transfer to a serving platter or cake stand and smooth the edges with a knife.

THE BEST BAKED CHEESECAKE IN THE WORLD (NO SERIOUSLY...!!!)

Steps:

• Cheesecake:.
• Preheat oven to 150c. & prepare (grease/line) 9" round cake pan.
• Process malt biscuits & butter until finely crumbled (or crush biscuits & mix in butter) & line base of pan.
• Using a cake mixer or blender beat cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice & egg until completely smooth (about 5mins should do).
• Pour into cake pan.
• Bake at 160c for approximately 35mins (I usually check it from 30mins onwards).
• The top should be just set, if it is browning too soon reduce heat, if it is splitting on top you should probably take it out!
• Cool then refrigerate for no less than 3hrs - it's one of those things that tastes better with age --.
• Note: Don't panic if it's cracked or a little brown on top, you can either level it off if you think it'll taint the flavour or cheat like me & pour over the following topping to disguise the slight overdoneness --.
• Topping:.
• Place juice/water mixture in a saucepan & bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat & simmer for approximately 5minutes.
• Add cornflour mixture to slightly thicken.
• Mix in lemon juice then add berries & stir gently so as not to break up the berries too much.
• You can use this mixture now or continue to reduce down if you wish. The last time I made this it was quite jammy (because I'd of course started on the dishes & forgotten that something was on the stove -- ) but it was just as devine as any other time so no worries if you think it's too sloppy!
• When you have reached the required consistency pour topping over cheese cake & return to the refrigerator to continue to chill & set.
• I usually make this about an hour after the cheesecake has been in the fridge so it has plenty of time to soak through the slightly brownish bits!
• If you manage to bake the perfect cream coloured cheesecake (big ups!) you could omit this topping or serve it separately for your adoring fans to pour over their dessert themselves --.
• I transport this cheesecake in the baking pan & only remove just prior to serving - it's much cleaner/easier that way & then someone else usually ends up getting stuck with cleaning the pan, mwah haha ha haaa!
• Enjoy!
• Note: Raspberries can be substituted with any available berry, mixture or pulpy fruit as desired.
• Note 2: I made this again on the weekend but had no berries so substituted one of the tablespoons of lemon juice with three tablespoons of lime juice & once I had poured mixture into pan I drizzled some passionfruit & mango dessert topping through it & sprinkled some dessicated coconut over the top of it before baking. I also reduced the cooking temperature to 150c & it turned out perfectly. It was sooo delicious, light & fruity! I really am the cheesecake master mmm -- .
