I really love cheesecake and I want to make one for my family reunion.....but i dunno how.

Can someone give me an easy to follow recipe?

[LunaDiviner]

I think it's easiest to borrow a cook book from the library. xD You might get confused if there are totally different recipes suggested here.

I used to know how to make it, but I forgot. It wasn't hard though. Very squishy...

Sorry, useless post. xD

OMG i really want some blueberry cheesecake NOWWW TT^TT

[rarawong]

my friend usually gets two blocks of cheesecake and mix it in with one medium sized container or whip cream ... XD she pours it into the pie shell and just refrigerates for a few hours then its done. lol. Easiest cheesecake i've ever seen. You can add hot choco powder to make it a choco-cheesecake too!! haha

[deportedkorean]

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TIP:
the cream cheese should be softened COMPLETELY (kind of like a cool whip consistency), otherwise you'll get cream cheese chunks in your cake. if you need to, microwave it.

I baked one yesterday, following this recipe from dyannbakes.com:

Cheesecake filling
2 pounds softened cream cheese (four 8 ounce bars)
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 eggs
One 9-inch spring form/round pan, bottom buttered, lined with a round of parchment

Set a rack in the middle level of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees.
Using a paddle attachment on your mixer (if it has one), beat the cream cheese smooth. Stop the mixer and scrape the mixing bowl and beater/paddle.
Add the sugar in a stream, mixing until just combined. Stop and scrape.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Mix only until absorbed. Stop and scrape.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing only until each is absorbed. Stop and scrape after each addition.
Pour the filling into the pan over the crust , and place the pan in a jelly-roll or roasting pan filled with water to a depth of 1/2 inch.
Bake the cheesecake for about 60 minutes, or until firm except for the very center. Remove from the pan.
Cool completely. Wrap the cheesecake in plastic or foil and chill overnight before unmolding.


Cheesecake Crust
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 egg yolk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

One 9-inch spring form/round pan, bottom buttered, lined with a round of parchment
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the yolk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and gently fold them into the butter mixture with a rubber spatula. The mixture will be crumbly.
Press the dough down evenly and firmly to cover the pan bottom, which has been buttered and lined with a round of parchment paper.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes at a low temperature (325 degree preheated oven), until the dough is golden and baked through.

Traditional Baked Cheesecake
Serves 10-12
======== ★''
Base
250g plain sweet biscuits
125g butter, melted

Filling
500g cream cheese, at room temperature
165g caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla essence
½ lemon rind, finely grated, juiced
4 eggs separated
125ml cream


1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Brush a 20cm springform pan with melted butter.

2. To make the base, place the biscuits in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely crushed. Add the butter and process until well combined. Transfer to the pan and use the back of a spoon to spread evenly over the base and 2/3 the way up the sides. Place in the fridge until required.

3. To make the filling, use electric beaters to beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla essence in a medium bowl until the mixture is creamy. Add the lemon rind, lemon juice, egg yolks and cream. Beat until well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.

4. Use clean electric beaters or a balloon whisk to whisk the egg whites in a medium bowl until peaks form. Add to the cream cheese mixture and use a large metal spoon to fold until just combined.

5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until just set in the centre. Remove from the oven to cool completely.

6. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight to firm. Remove 30 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and dust with icing sugar to serve.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TIP:

the best trick i found for this is to soak your cream cheese in warm tap water until it comes to room temperature. that way none of it ever burns/dries our nor does it heat unevenly

[KittyAngelF4]

cheesecake usually has a lot of easy recipes out there... as seen above^

but since you're making it for a family reunion, i think it would be cool if you made mini cheesecakes
i like making these for groups cuz you dont have to worry about cutting and splitting an equal amount.
nor deal with utensils
you basically follow a simple cheesecake recipe,
but once youre done mixing it, you take nilla wafers and put them in cupcake holders,
then pour the cheesecake mix in to about 3/4 way. and bake!
i like to top mine with a slice of canned mandarin orange, 1/4 fresh strawberry, and a small slice of kiwi.
and i like to brush some of the mandarin orange glaze from the can over the top so it gives it a nice glow
but any fruit is good, even getting a canned cherry or blueberry topping is fine.
i just prefer the fresh fruit cuz i think its more pretty and tastes better :-)
