Classic Cheesecake

Looking for a simple cheesecake recipe? Here’s one that we found that’s easy enough to do when you’re new to making cheesecakes.

Here’s the recipe from MarthaStewart.com,

Ingredients

2 packages (20 sheets) graham crackers
11 tbsp (1 and 3/8 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
2 8-oz packages cream cheese at room temperature
1 14-oz can (1 and 1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

Strawberry Cheesecake

For this recipe, you can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen ones; you just have to take note that if you use frozen strawberries, they will have more liquid so just add a bit more corn starch to avoid runny sauce.

Here’s the recipe from The Recipe Rebel,

Ingredients

For the crust
2 1/2 (375 g) cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter

For the filling
1 lb ( 454 g) fresh strawberries
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
3 tbsp corn starch
3 packages (750 g or 24 oz) cream cheese
whipped cream, for garnish
fresh strawberries, for garnish

Instructions

1. Line a 9″ Springform pan with parchment paper (optional — it helps remove the cheesecake once it’s chilled). 
2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter then press firmly into the bottom and 1″ up the sides of the Springform pan. Set aside.
3. Wash and chop strawberries. Puree until smooth using a food processor or blender, then strain through a fine mesh strainer.
4. Whisk together strawberry puree, 3/4 cup sugar and corn starch until smooth. Place in medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until very thick. Set aside to cool slightly.
5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth. 
6. Add 1 cup sugar and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add strawberry sauce and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy
7. Spread cheesecake filling into prepared crust and refrigerate at least 6-8 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled and set. 
8. Garnish with whipped cream and chopped strawberries as desired.

Turtle Cheesecake

Here’s a cheesecake recipe that has a mouthwatering combination of chocolate, salted caramel, and pecans. For this, make sure to use full fat cream cheese as it has less water content to help the cake hold up better than with the low fat variety.

Here’s the recipe from The Recipe Rebel,

Ingredients

For the crust
2 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs like Oreo or similar
1/2 cup butter melted

For the caramel

1 cup heavy cream
1/8-1/4 teaspoon salt (depending on how salty you like your caramel)
1 cup chopped pecans

For the cheesecake
24 oz cream cheese or 3 packages or 750 g, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

For the ganache
1/3 cup or 50 g chopped dark chocolate or chips
1/3 cup milk or cream
caramel sauce, whipped cream, and pecans, all for garnish and optional

Instructions

Line a 9″ Springform pan with parchment paper, pinching it in between the bottom and the outer ring. This isn’t necessary but will allow for easy removal.

Here’s the recipe from Pretty. Simple. Sweet,

Ingredients

For the crust
20 Oreo cookies (with their filling)
5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, melted

For the cake
1 tablespoon unflavored powdered gelatin , optional
1/4 cup (60 ml) water (omit if you don’t use gelatin)
2 and 1/4 cups (500 g) cream cheese , at room temperature
3/4 cup (85 g) powdered sugar

For the Nutella ganache
1/2 cup (160 g) Nutella
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream

Instructions

1. Make the crust: Pulse Oreos (the whole cookie, with the filling) in a food processor until finely ground. In a medium bowl, mix crumbs and melted butter until fully combined and crumbs are moistened. Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch or 8-inch springform pan using your fingers or the bottom of a cup to form a crust layer.
2. Make the filling: For the gelatin mixture, combine gelatin and water in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften. After 10 minutes, microwave gelatin for a few seconds, just until melted and syrupy (avoid heating it any more as that will ruin it).
3. Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle attachment, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and cocoa powder until smooth, then beat in Nutella. Add gelatin and whisk mixture until combined. Set aside.
4. Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form (they should hold their shape but have a soft texture). Using a spatula, gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the other half. Pour filling into the pan and smooth the top. Cover pan with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours before glazing with ganache.
5. Make the ganache: Place Nutella and heavy cream in a medium bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted. Whisk until smooth. Let cool slightly before pouring over cheesecake.
6. Cool cake completely before serving, at least 4 hours. Decorate cake with Ferrero Rocher or chopped hazelnuts , if desired. Serve cold.
7. Cheesecake will keep in the fridge for 5 days. It can also be frozen, wrapped tight, for 2 months. To thaw, place overnight in the fridge.
