The first thing that you need to prepare for making a cheesecake recipe is to gather all the necessary ingredients for preparing this delicious dessert. These are basically the basic ingredients that you will be using for your recipe, including heavy cream, sour cream, eggs, and sugar. All these ingredients should be combined in a large bowl. All these ingredients should be mixed thoroughly until they become a smooth batter.

Next, you need to add the water, milk, lemon zest, cream cheese, and grated cheese to your batter. You can do this by mixing all these four ingredients together. After which, spoon or drop some batter into your preheated oven. When baking is finished, the cake will rise, and you can easily remove it from the oven. At this point, you can already cut it into any shape that you want.

The second thing that you need to do is to use the cooking technique for baking a cheesecake. Basically, you have two options – you can either use the traditional baking method, or you can use the steel-grated rolling pin. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. For instance, if you are going to use the traditional method, you will need to grease or flour your pans so that the cheese would stick to them properly.

In contrast, if you are going to use the steel-grilled rolling pin, all you have to do is place the pan on the pan and turn it over so that the pan is turned underneath out. This way, you don’t have to worry about the pan and the egg yolk sticking to each other. Just remember that you should grease or flour your baking pans well before you actually use them in order to prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan.

In addition, if you are using the steel-grilled technique, you have to ensure that the temperature of your oven is at the right level or else the cheese would go bad quickly. Another important consideration is the quality of the cheese you are using. Generally speaking, grated or shredded cheese is always the best choice when it comes to making a delicious cheesecake. However, if you are on a tight budget, you can always use frozen cheese as an alternative.

Important Consideration

The most important thing is to have a good base or foundation for your classic, new York cheesecake recipe. You can use either a Graham cracker crust or the traditional sheet cake base. If you are using the sheet cake base, you just have to ensure that you allow the cake to cool down completely before you cut into it. Once this is done, you can already decorate your cheesecake. It is highly advisable to use a good quality decorative wire or plastic knife to do this job so as to prevent yourself from biting off more cake than you can chew.

Bottom Line

A great tip when it comes to cooking cheesecakes is to put a topping on top first and then let the cheesecake cool down. You can use anything from whipped cream, chocolate sauce, ice cream, honey or maraschino cherries, to name a few. Once the cheesecake has cooled down, you can now add the different toppings you want. You can also put in decorations such as sprinkles, nuts and even dried fruit. This will give you a very tasty dessert that you can be proud of serving.
