AUTHENTIC GERMAN CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Mix together the sugar, cornstarch, and flour and set aside.
• Combine the cream cheese and cottage cheese; beat with an electric mixer at high speed until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the softened butter. Gradually add the sugar mixture, beating until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla and mix just until smooth.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest in the oven with the door closed for 2 hours. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Chill for 4 hours or overnight.

GERMAN BAKED CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Blind bake the shortcrust in a springform pan for about 20 minutes, till light brown.
• Mix the following until creamy: cream cheese, sour cream, oil, egg yolks, sugar, starch and vanilla bean (I think it's really important to use real vanilla. The little black dots are key! You can use some fake aroma additionally, if required). The amount of sugar depends on your sweet tooth.
• Beat the egg white until soft peaks form. Fold under cheese mixture.
• Now spread it over the base, and bake at 180°C for about 50-60 minutes. You want it to be light brown on top, and rather firm to the touch - not entirely wobbly!
• Let it cool for a bit and eat warm with some whipped cream. Yum, my favorite!
