THREE CITIES OF SPAIN CHEESECAKE



Three Cities of Spain Cheesecake image

A creamy style cheesecake, originally from Santa Fe's Three Cities of Spain coffee house. Everything about this recipe is the same, except for the topping which I made sweeter and the baking instructions are a bit different. I made this for my brother's birthday this year and it was devoured. Very light, yet decadent.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

33 graham crackers, crumbled (or vanilla wafers or gingersnaps)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
16 ounces sour cream
5 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Make the crust: Crush the graham crackers in a plastic bag with the bottom of a cup. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, the stick of melted butter and sugar. Press into a 9" springform pan using the same cup, tapping the mixture and pushing it about an inch up the sides. Blind bake the crust by putting it in the oven for 10 minutes. Set aside and cool.
  • Make the filling: Use a paddle attachment, if possible. Beat the cream cheese alone until fluffy. In a measuring cup, combine the eggs, and 1 tsp of vanilla. Slowly add to the cream cheese in two parts, stopping to scrape down the sides in between additions. Slowly add the sugar. Do not overbeat.
  • Pour filling into pan and tap the pan on the countertop a few times to bring any air bubbles to the surface. Bake for 45 minutes on a baking sheet (to catch any drips). You will know it is done when the cake is set three inches from the edge but is still slightly wobbly in the center when gently shaken. Also, the cheese layer will be slightly browned.
  • Cool the cheesecake on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Leave the oven on and turn it up to 400.
  • Make the Topping: mix together the 5 tablespoons sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and 16 oz. sour cream until light and fluffy.
  • Pour over the cake and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. The topping will be set when it is done.
  • Cool cake completely before slicing and serving. If you have the time, 6+ hours would be best. I've served it in as little as 4 hours.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cheesecake will taste. This means using fresh cream cheese, eggs, butter, and sugar. You should also use a good quality vanilla extract and a flavorful cheese, such as Manchego or Iberico.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients. If your cream cheese is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and may cause lumps in your cheesecake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can cause the cheesecake to be dense and dry. Mix the batter until it is just combined, then stop.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
  • Don't overbake the cheesecake: Overbaking the cheesecake can cause it to be dry and crumbly. Bake the cheesecake until it is just set in the center. It should still have a slight jiggle to it.
  • Chill the cheesecake before serving: This will help the cheesecake to set properly and develop its full flavor. Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
