Cheesecake recipe: Classic heavy cheese recipe
Cheesecake ingredients
250 g cream cheese, 80 g caster sugar, 2 eggs, 15 g cornstarch, 10 g lemon juice, 80 g milk, 1 tablespoon rum (15 ml), 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (1.25 ml), Digestive Cake Base Ingredients: 100 g digestive cookies, 50 g butter
Steps to make a cheesecake
Step 1: First, make a digestive cake base by placing it in the bottom of a cake mold and compacting it. Chill the cake mold in the fridge for later use.
Step 2: Soften the cream cheese at room temperature, add the fine sugar and beat with a whisk until smooth and grain-free.
Step 3: Add the eggs and beat well with a whisk. Eggs should be added one after the other. First, add the first one and mix with a whisk until it is completely mixed with the cheese, then add the next one.
Step 4: Pour in the lemon juice and mix well.
Step 5: Pour in the cornstarch and mix well.
Step 6: Pour in the milk, rum and vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 7: Finally, stir the cake batter as shown in the picture.
Step 8: Pour the cake batter into the cake mold with the cake base already set up.
Step 9: Place the cake molds in a baking dish and pour in hot water. The hot water should ideally be no more than half the height of the cake batter. If you have a live-bottom cake mold, you need to wrap a layer of tin foil around the bottom of the cake mold to prevent water from entering the bottom. Bake the baking tray in a preheated oven at 160 degree Celsius for 1 hour until the top of the cake turns golden brown.
Step 10: After the cake is baked, chill it in the refrigerator for 4 hours, remove the mold and cut into pieces for serving.
