how can i make my cream cheese cake thicker(more firm)?

Question

I use 16 oz cream cheese1 ,1/2 cups sugar,1 pint sour cream,1 tea spoon van.ex,4 eggs,1/2 tea spoon cornstarch

Answer 1

I've seen a lot of cream cheese cakes with unflavored gelatin as an ingredient.

It holds them together better, and will give you the desired firmness.

"To add gelatin to a cheesecake recipe, put a tablespoon of water in a small saucepan and sprinkle a half teaspoon or a teaspoon of gelatin over the surface. Let it soften for 5 minutes. Over low heat, stir the gelatin until dissolved. Let it cool a bit, then add it to your cheesecake batter toward the end of the mixing process."

Answer 2

I don't put cornstarch in mine, but otherwise it sounds liek the recipe I use. Sometimes if it's a little jiggly in the middle, throw it back in the oven to set up some more and make sure it's very chilled before you serve it.

Answer 3

Hey Med E, ;o)
Instead of cream cheese you can try ricotta cheese. It's firmer. Or just use more cornstarch.

Answer 5

Use more of the cheese and less of the liquids! Its that simple.

Answer 6

Use it immediately from refrigeration, or chill it longer after you've prepared your dish. (Don't know which stage you're having the problem from.)
