Time 12h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 16 graham crackers)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
5 large eggs, at room temperature
Zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the crust: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium bowl until evenly moistened.
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Cool completely on a rack. Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the pan with foil and place in a roasting pan.
  • For the filling: Add the cream cheese to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy. Gradually add the cream, beating until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt and beat just until combined, taking care not to over whip. Pour into the crust.
  • Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven (don't pull the rack out of the oven). Pour enough hot water in the roasting pan to come about halfway up the side of the foil-wrapped springform pan.
  • Bake until the top of the cheesecake is lightly browned around the edges, but the center still jiggles slightly, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a rack. Run a knife around the edges and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
  • Bring the cheesecake to room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. Dip a knife in warm water and wipe dry before slicing each piece.

THE BEST NEW YORK CHEESECAKE

This cheesecake is every bit as delicious as it looks! Eat it plain, or drizzle with chocolate, caramel or strawberry syrup, or add fresh strawberries, cherries or raspberries! OH MY!

Provided by Robin Grover

Categories     Cakes

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 large eggs, room temperature
2 c sour cream, room temperature
4 pkg 8oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 c sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • 1. Generously butter the inside of a 10-inch spring form pan. Wrap a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil tightly around the outside bottom and sides, crimping and pleating the foil to make it conform to the pan. This will help to prevent water seeping into the pan when you put it into the bain-marie. Position the baking rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 300* Fahrenheit.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the sour cream until well blended.
  • 3. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese with the butter until smooth and creamy. Add this to the egg-sour cream mixture and beat until smooth.
  • 4. Add the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest and beat thoroughly, about 2 minutes.
  • 5. Pour into the prepared springform pan and place in a roasting pan (or other pan) large enough to prevent the sides from touching. Place in the oven and carefully pour in enough very hot tap water to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  • 6. Bake for 2 hours, 15 minutes, or until the cake is very lightly colored and a knife inserted in the center emerges clean. Remove from the water bath and carefully peel the aluminum foil from around the pan. Let stand at room temperature until completely cool, about 4 hours. Refrigerate, covered, until well chilled. For best flavor and texture, this cheesecake is best chilled overnight.

Tips for Making the Best New York Cheesecake:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese: Look for cream cheese that is full-fat and has a smooth, spreadable texture. Avoid using low-fat or non-fat cream cheese, as this will result in a less rich and creamy cheesecake.
  • Bring your cream cheese to room temperature: This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps. You can also soften the cream cheese by microwaving it for a few seconds on low power.
  • Use a springform pan: A springform pan is essential for making a New York cheesecake because it allows you to easily remove the cheesecake from the pan once it is baked. If you do not have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round baking pan, but you will need to carefully cut around the edges of the cheesecake before removing it from the pan.
  • Use a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to create a moist and creamy cheesecake. To create a water bath, place the springform pan inside a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water. The water should come up about halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake until it is set: The cheesecake is done baking when the center is slightly jiggly. If you insert a toothpick into the center of the cheesecake, it should come out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Chill the cheesecake before serving: The cheesecake needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Making a New York cheesecake may seem daunting, but it is actually quite simple if you follow the tips above. With a little practice, you will be able to make a delicious and impressive cheesecake that will wow your friends and family.
