THE BEST EVER CHEESECAKE



The Best Ever Cheesecake image

After trying and trying different cheesecake recipes, I formulated one of my own. I do believe this is the perfect cheesecake. Very simple with a wonderful taste. You will need a 10 inch springform pan and to prepare a basic graham cracker crust beforehand.

We've created the cheesecake of your dreams - rich, dense and creamy with a buttery, not-too-sweet graham cracker crust. Easy-to-follow instructions ensure a smooth, crack-free top every time.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 10h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch fine salt
Four 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 12h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 16 graham crackers)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
5 large eggs, at room temperature
Zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the crust: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium bowl until evenly moistened.
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Cool completely on a rack. Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the pan with foil and place in a roasting pan.
  • For the filling: Add the cream cheese to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy. Gradually add the cream, beating until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt and beat just until combined, taking care not to over whip. Pour into the crust.
  • Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven (don't pull the rack out of the oven). Pour enough hot water in the roasting pan to come about halfway up the side of the foil-wrapped springform pan.
  • Bake until the top of the cheesecake is lightly browned around the edges, but the center still jiggles slightly, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a rack. Run a knife around the edges and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
  • Bring the cheesecake to room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. Dip a knife in warm water and wipe dry before slicing each piece.

THE BEST NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE



The Best No-Bake Cheesecake image

Who doesn't love a dessert that can be made without turning on the oven? This no-bake cheesecake is light and fluffy, thanks to the whipped cream that gets folded into the cream-cheese mixture. Have no fear--it will have the signature creamy, tangy flavor of the classic.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 8h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces graham crackers (about 18 sheets), broken into pieces
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla-bean paste
Fresh berries, for serving

Steps:

  • For the crust: Add the graham crackers, brown sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Drizzle in the butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated with the butter.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan, with a 1/4-inch thick rim around the border. (Use the bottom of a measuring cup to help make the crust even on the sides and bottom.) Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • For the filling: Meanwhile, whip 3/4 cup of the cream in a medium bowl with a whisk until stiff, fluffy peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes (or 1 to 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed); set aside.
  • Beat the cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the lemon juice, sour cream and vanilla-bean paste and beat until just combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream-cheese mixture with a large rubber spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the springform pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Cover tightly and refrigerate until set, 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Just before serving, add the remaining 3/4 cup cream and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to a medium bowl and whip to soft peaks with a whisk, 3 to 4 minutes (or 1 to 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed). Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  • Run a knife around the inside edge of the springform pan to loosen the cake, then open the clasps to release the pan ring. Pipe dollops of whipped cream around the border of the cheesecake and top with fresh berries.

THE ULTIMATE CHEESECAKE



The Ultimate Cheesecake image

Bake Tyler Florence's Ultimate Cheesecake recipe from Food Network for a zesty-sweet classic topped with warm lemon blueberries.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time 5h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups finely ground graham crackers (about 30 squares)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 pound cream cheese, two 8-ounce blocks, softened
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 pint sour cream
1 lemon, zested
1 dash vanilla extract
Warm Lemon Blueberry Topping, recipe follows
1 pint blueberries
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • For the Crust:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ingredients with a fork until evenly moistened. Lightly coat the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pour the crumbs into the pan and, using the bottom of a measuring cup or the smooth bottom of a glass, press the crumbs down into the base and 1-inch up the sides. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  • For the Filling:
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on low speed for 1 minute until smooth and free of any lumps. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue to beat slowly until combined. Gradually add sugar and beat until creamy, for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Periodically scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beaters. The batter should be well-mixed but not over-beaten. Pour the filling into the crust-lined pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Set the cheesecake pan on a large piece of aluminum foil and fold up the sides around it. Place the cake pan in a large roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until the water is about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan; the foil will keep the water from seeping into the cheesecake. Bake for 45 minutes. The cheesecake should still jiggle (it will firm up after chilling), so be careful not to overcook. Let cool in pan for 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for at least 4 hours. Loosen the cheesecake from the sides of the pan by running a thin metal spatula around the inside rim. Unmold and transfer to a cake plate. Using a spatula spread a layer of Warm Lemon Blueberry topping over the surface.
  • Slice the cheesecake with a thin, non-serrated knife that has been dipped in hot water. Wipe dry after each cut.
  • In a small saucepan add all the ingredients and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes or so until the fruit begins to break down slightly. Leave to cool before spreading on cheesecake.

Provided by Liz Shim

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 14h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 (8 ounce) packages full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar for crust in a bowl until mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer to the prepared pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press crumbs firmly into an even layer.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit on a wire rack until completely cool. Leave the oven on.
  • While the crust is cooling, beat cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed until smooth.
  • Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl and continue to beat until combined.
  • Gently whisk one egg with a fork in a small bowl; add to the cream cheese mixture and beat just until combined. Repeat with each remaining egg, whisking and adding just one at a time.
  • Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and firmly bang it on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles.
  • Place the springform pan (with the cooled crust) in an oven bag. Fold down the excess and wrap the pan in a layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Pour cheesecake mixture into the pan.
  • Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan and move it to the lower rack of the oven.
  • Pour 2 inches of boiling water into the roasting pan. Bake cheesecake until edges are puffed and surface is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 ½ hours. Tent the cheesecake with a sheet of foil if the top is browning too much during baking.
  • Turn off the oven; keep the oven door closed and let the cheesecake cool slowly for 2 hours.
  • Remove from the oven. Take the springform pan out of the water bath and set it on a cooling rack; let sit until it comes to room temperature, about 2 more hours. Place in the refrigerator until fully set, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Run the tip of a knife around the edges of the pan. Unhinge the lock and remove the pan sides. Use a warm, clean knife to cut every slice. Top slices with cherry pie filling. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator.
