Eggless Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the crust
- 1-3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted melted butter
For the filling
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- One can sweeten condensed milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
- Begin by lining a 9-inch round springform pan with parchment paper.
- Also, preheat your oven to 350° F.
- Add butter, graham crumbs, and sugar in a medium mixing bowl with a fork till fairly moistened.
- Then set the crumbs mixture into the pan and press it down evenly using the bottom of a measuring cup into the base and taking up till the sides.
- Refrigerate it. In the meantime, we can prepare the filling.
Step 2
- Whisk cream using an electric mixer in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, approximately 1 minute. Keep this mixture aside.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth, no lumps should be there. Set it aside.
- In another bowl put the cream cheese and with an electric mixer pulse on low speed for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
- Then drop in sugar and sour cream and resume beating until mixed well.
- Slowly combine sweetened condensed milk and whisk for 1-2 minutes, until creamy.
- Afterward, pour vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch mixture. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Include whipped heavy cream and gently fold in the mixture using a spatula.
Step 3
- Take out the crust from the fridge and set this mixture over it. Pat lightly to remove the air bubbles.
- Put the cheesecake pan on a large sheet of aluminum foil and wrap up the sides around the pan.
- Set this cheesecake pan in a deep roasting pan. Pour hot water into it till the water is about halfway up the edges of the pan.
- Bake the mixture for about 40 minutes, until you see the edges are almost puffed, but the center filling is wobbly. Note: Avoid overbaking as you don’t have to make it golden brown otherwise the cheesecake will break.
- Turn off the oven and set aside cheesecake to cool for 40 minutes inside the oven with the closed door.
- Afterward, refrigerate it for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight is best.
Step 4
- Run a thin metal spatula around the inside rim to loosen the cheesecake from the edges of the pan.
- Unmold carefully and place it on a plate.
- If you want, you can also top it up with any of your favorite toppings.
- Cut the cheesecake using a thin knife. Tip: Dip the knife in hot water and then wipe dry before using. Repeat this step before cutting every slice.
