MOM'S CHEESECAKE



Mom's Cheesecake image

My Mom has been gone for many years but this was her cheesecake recipe. In my opinion, this is the best graham cracker crust I have ever had. And you would never know that the filling is made out of cottage cheese. It definitely tastes more like a cream cheese filling. Everyone looks forward to this cake on Easter. I believe...

MOM'S CHEESECAKE



Mom's Cheesecake image

My mom is a terrific cook. I always looked forward to big family dinners, not just for seeing relatives but because I knew she would be making the best cheesecake ever. Her "trick" was using whipped cream cheese instead of regular, in defiance of the package instructions-which expressly say not to use whipped for cheesecake. She thought it would make a light, creamy cheesecake, and she was right. Somehow I was even allowed to eat leftover cheesecake for breakfast! -Robert Bleifer, Executive Chef

Time 11h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 18 whole crackers)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
Pinch fine salt
Three 11.5-ounce containers whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
One 16-ounce container sour cream, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Grated zest of 1 lemon, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • For the crust: Melt the butter in a covered microwave-safe medium bowl in the microwave. Brush a 10-inch springform pan with some of the butter. Stir together the remaining butter with the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the side of the pan, taking care to get the crust evenly into the edge. Bake until browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool. Wrap the bottom of the pan and up the side with foil, and put the pan on a baking sheet.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sour cream, and mix until just combined. Add the heavy cream, and mix until just combined. Beat in the eggs one at time. Beat in the vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest if using until just combined. (Do not overmix, or the cake will turn into a souffle!)
  • Pour the filling into the crust. Bake until the cake is slightly golden and barely set in the middle, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn off the oven, and leave the cake inside with the door shut for 1 hour. It will continue to set and color slightly in the oven.
  • Run a thin knife or spatula between the cake and the pan to prevent the cake from cracking as it chills. (Mom's cheesecake usually cracked, since she didn't do this.) Refrigerate overnight before serving.
