Cheesecake - an American traditional dessert made from Philadelphia cheese - has long been popular in Russia. The taste of the cheesecake and the ease of preparation are appreciated.
Cheesecake is a bit like a cottage cheese casserole, but cheese makes it much softer. This cake is perfect as a festive treat, or just for your morning cup of coffee.
Making an American dessert is not difficult at all, and most importantly, it does not take much time. There are two ways to prepare cheesecake - cold and hot. Hot means baking in the oven, while cold means no baking. To prepare a classic hot cheesecake, you will need the following products: creamy crumbly cookies - 200 g, butter - 100 g, granulated sugar - 180 g, eggs - 5 pcs., Thick sour cream - 200 g, starch - 50 g, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of lemon juice and a teaspoon of baking powder.
Before proceeding with the procedure for making a hot cheesecake, you need to turn on the oven for heating. For the first layer of the pie, you need to crumble the cookies, melt the butter and, adding sugar, mix well. Grease a baking dish with oil, put the resulting mass in it and smooth. Set the form aside. You can proceed to the second layer of dessert.
In a blender, mix thoroughly the cheese, sour cream until a homogeneous consistency, add starch and baking powder. Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites and add them to the cheese mixture. Beat the whites separately by hand or with a mixer and mix gently here.
For a change, you can add chocolate, berries, coffee, cookies to the filling, smooth it and send it to the oven for an hour and a half.
The cheesecake should be baked at a low temperature so that the cheese does not boil. It is necessary to ensure that the heating is uniform. You need to cool it gradually so that small cracks do not appear on the surface of the cake. Garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries.
