My son was asking for cheese cake for a while. For some reason I couldn't make it. I wanted to at least try this for his birthday. Finally I made it.. It is pretty easy and the key to a good cake is that all ingredients has to be in room temperature. My kids loved every bit of it. When I went on a diet my consultant advised to eat Cheese cake if I want to have any dessert.. Don't ask me whether it is healthy or not.. I am not sure about that.. but for sure this has less sugar and oil than other cakes
Ingredients:
For Crust
Graham Crackers Crumbs / Digestive biscuit crumbs - 1.75 cups (I have used digestive crumbs)
Melted butter - 1/4 cup
For Filling
Cream cheese - 500g
Sour Cream - 250g
Sugar - 1 cup
Vanilla essence - 1 teaspoon
Sea Salt - a pinch
Corn Starch or Potato Starch - 2 tablespoon
Lemon Juice - 1/2 teaspoon
Method:
For Crust
Take the digestive and make a crumbs. Melt the butter Mix in melted butter and crumbs and Pour mixture into a baking pan. I have used spring-form pan.
Press the mixture down to make a smooth base. Pre heat the oven and bake the crust for 8 mins. Let it cool down completely
For Cheese Cake
Make sure all ingredients under for filling is in room temperature. Add all the ingredients in the broad vessel. Using hand held beater or batter mixer whip it o the smooth batter
Pour this over the crust
Pre heat the oven at 180 degree C and Bake the case for 60 mins. Let it cool down in the oven for 10 mins. And refrigerate it for min 2 hours or over night
Enjoy

Wow the cake looks sooo pretty Veena I love how perfectly brown it looks.
ReplyDeleteWell, ur consultant says u can have cheese cake so its win win I guess. :)
Looks absolutely delicious...and it's eggless..will try it
ReplyDeleteseems impossible, right? My son is allergic to soy (and egg and other foods), and I see many recipes that use tofu. The closest thing he's had to cheesecake is the Eagle Brand cream cheese pie, minus the cherry pie filling on top. He loves it; everyone does, but I want him to have cheesecake. Did you try it and get good results?
DeleteNo I haven't tried tofu base cheesecake or eagle brand cream cheese
DeleteI think she meant did you try this recipe and get good results? Did you enjoy it?
Deletenope I haven't tried with Tofu so far

DeleteHi Veena this is a really good recipe ! It's one for keeps for sure ! Thank you so much for sharing it. Will always be grateful. I would just like to know one thing, that is whenever I bake the cheesecake. .it doesn't brown evenly kind of gets spotty.. if you could give me a tip on what I should do about this I would greatly appreciate it .
ReplyDeleteSorry for late reply I was looking around to answer ur question but couldn't find one.. I never experienced this.. Which type of cheese you are using? also oven?
DeleteHi Veena .. I use Philadelphia cream cheese ... and oven is Miele.
ReplyDeleteSorry Pirya Not sure I will look around and will let u know
DeleteHI Veena can I know which brand of cream cheese do you use ? Also do you use caster sugar or.granulated sugar ?

ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback! glad you like it
DeleteHi Veena, is there a substitute for sour cream..??
ReplyDeleteI heard yogurt + teaspoon of baking powder but haven't baked with that
DeleteThanks for the Egg-less cake recipe, Because my husband is veterinarian and he didn't like egg.
ReplyDeleteHi,after the 60 minutes, let the cake cool down in the oven for 10 minutes with the door closed? Then straight put it into the fridge? It needs to cool down first before being rrefrigerated correct?
ReplyDeleteShaila - Yes cake has to be completely cooled before you keep it in fridge
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your reply. You missed out the first part of the question though about the cake cooling down for 10 minutes in the oven. With the door open or closed?
ReplyDeleteShaila, you can open the window slightly (crack open the door)
ReplyDeleteDoes it need a water bath?
ReplyDeleteRoshini, Not required
