How can I make a chees cake?

Answer 1

We find that different generations have different ideas about what a typical New York cheesecake is. To us, a New York cheesecake is high, firm, and dense, with a slightly lemony flavor. The Lindy's cheesecake in our January 1991 issue, adapted here for a simpler crust, is all of that. It's also a cake that keeps for up to two weeks and lends itself easily to flavor variations.


1 crumb-crust recipe, made with finely ground graham crackers
5 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
5 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla


Make crumb crust as directed in separate recipe. Preheat oven to 550°F.
Beat together cream cheese, sugar, flour, and zests with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and yolks, 1 at a time, then vanilla, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated and scraping down bowl between additions.

Put springform pan with crust in a shallow baking pan. Pour filling into crust (springform pan will be completely full) and bake in baking pan (to catch drips) in middle of oven 12 minutes, or until puffed. Reduce temperature to 200°F and continue baking until cake is mostly firm (center will still be slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken), about 1 hour more.

Run a knife around top edge of cake to loosen and cool completely in springform pan on a rack. Chill cake, loosely covered, at least 6 hours. Remove side of pan and transfer cake to a plate. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Answer 2

There a few easy ways. If you want to do the "real thing" you can find a recipe for cheesecake which needs to be baked, like this one http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_32316,00.html?rsrc=search

You could also choose to make a no bake cheesecake, using cheesecake and pudding (lemon, vanilla, chocolate) - by mixing milk, cream cheese, pudding mix together, pour it into a graham cracker crust and refrigerate it until set.

You could buy pre-made cheesecake filling - I think it is a Philadelphia brand product - and a pie crust.

Many grocery stores and deli's sell cheesecake, which are good but can be rather expensive.

Answer 3

16 vanilla wafer cookies
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin pans with cupcake papers.
Place one wafer cookie in the bottom of each cupcake paper. In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour over wafers in cupcake papers.
Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes, until golden and set.

Answer 4

Buy some Philly cream cheese, read the recipe for "cheesecake", buy the rest of the ingredients and viola! You will need basically, graham crackers crushed up, a springform pan, cream cheese, eggs, sugar. Good luck.

Answer 5

Put oreos in the cuisinart to creat your "pat in the pan" crust in your springfoam pan. It's much better than grahm crumbs!Then for your filling,
3 bricks CC
3 eggs, 1 yoke
1/2 cup sugar
lemon juice,
vanilla
1 tbs flour
1/4 cup milk

Answer 6

Which ever Cheesecake recipe you pick, and the answerer's have got good Ideas, not one mentioned a water bath to cook the cheesecake in. This allows the CC to congeal uniformly and no crack, even with a spring-form pan, just wrap it in foil. Good Luck

Answer 7

2 boxes of cream cheese
2 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp of vanilla flavoring


let cream cheese soften. in a mixer mix cream cheese and sugar. mix well add eggs and flavoring

you can use a pre baked grahm cracker crust pie shell (easy) pour mix in to shell bake on 375 for about 1 hour or until you can stick a fork in it and nothing is on the fork.

Answer 8

I am a professionally trained pastry chef and this recipe outside my professional collection, is one of the best I've had. Give it a try and I think you'll enjoy it. I use a pate sucree for the crust but you can use whatever you prefer.
