What is Cheesecake?

Cheesecake is a creamy, very rich cake from the European and American kitchens. It generally contains a smooth cheese-based filling (cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and flavoring) placed atop a crumbly layer: a cake made from biscuits or graham crackers. Some varieties include baked or no-baked cheesecake, cheesecake with flavored fillings, and cheesecake topped with fruit.

How to Make Cheesecake Without a Mould

No springform pan? No problem! Use a deep baking dish or individual ramekins. Line them with parchment paper for easy removal, or serve directly from the dish.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake Recipe

Guidelines for Baking an Incredible CheesecakeCheesecake should remain soft: guaranteed that cream cheese and eggs must be brought to room temperature so the batter is smooth; minimize the mixing such that air does not find its way in, creating cracking; a water bath will take in moisture for smooth baking without cracks; the longer the chill-out, the smoother; for easier slicing, use a hot knife – dip into hot water beforehand.
