RED VELVET CHEESECAKE



Red Velvet Cheesecake image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 28 cookies)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon red food coloring

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the cookie crumbs, melted butter, sugar and salt in a bowl. Press into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Put the pan on a baking sheet and bake until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Make the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the flour, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Transfer 2 cups batter to a bowl; stir in the cocoa powder and food coloring. Pour the red batter into the crust, then pour the white batter on top. Using a spoon, pull some of the red batter up from the bottom of the cake and swirl. Bake until the edges are set but the center is still wobbly, about 1 hour, 20 minutes.
  • Turn off the oven but keep the cake inside to cool, 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan (don't remove the springform side), then transfer to a rack to cool. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the star of the cheesecake, so use a brand that you trust and that is fresh. Look for cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable, without any lumps or grains.
  • Bring your cream cheese and eggs to room temperature: This will help them mix together more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a more velvety cheesecake filling.
  • Don't overmix the cheesecake batter: Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to become dense and crumbly. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking and will also help to create a more evenly cooked cheesecake.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: This will help the cheesecake to set properly and will also allow the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Red velvet center cheesecake is a stunning and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, decadent filling, rich red velvet cake layer, and sweet cream cheese frosting, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
