Never Fail New York Cheesecake Recipe
Things have been pretty busy around here. Lots of projects have left me with very little time. Plus I have some family in town, which always adds to the adventure.
In fact yesterday I got out my recipe box, I was going to whip up my to die for Cheesecake, and realized it wasn’t there 😫
Luckily I had archived it on the blockchain here last year and well.. now all is right in the world again. Because my goodness it took me forever to get this thing right, losing it would have been so depressing.
Going back and finding the post made me think of @nonameslefttouse’s #showcase-sunday initiative, and figured it was a good way to share a recipe that many of you probably didn’t see.. plus to show I did cool things once on Steem 🙂
I’m not sure if any of you have ever tried to make cheesecake, but it’s a bit tricky. I remember daunting over recipes, trying them.. failing.. and doing that over and over again. I even remember many that came with warning labels like - ”Cook for precisely 45mins and turn off heat. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN FOR 3 HOURS!!” ... or some other craziness.
Let’s just say that it was a bit daunting for me and never had much success. Then I decided to just come up with my own recipe based on all that trail and error, and finally came up with something that not only is damn delicious (like really really delicious) but also super easy to make.
So.. here it is - the epic Cheesecake recipe that took me years to get right, but has never failed me since.
Hope you enjoy!
The Ingredients
New York Cheesecake Filling
- 32 Ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1 ½ Cups Raw Sugar
- 1 Tbsp PureVanilla Extract
- 2 XL Eggs
- ¼ Cup Cornstarch (make sure it’s non gmo)
- ¾ Cup Heavy Cream
Graham Cracker Cookie Crust
- 6 Whole Graham Crackers
- ½ Cup Brown Sugar
- ½ Cup Flour
- 5 Tbsp Butter (melted)
The Process
Prepping Your 9" Springform Pan
Cheesecake need to be baked in a water bath to ensure they have consistent temperature, its not a difficult process and I will walk you through that in just a bit. But, you do need to make sure that the water does not seep into your cake while cooking. So, we just need to wrap the bottom and outside of the pan in a thick layer of foil like so…
The Crust
This crust is somewhere between a sugar cookie and a traditional graham cracker crust. It compliments the cheesecake filling perfectly while adding a bit of additional unique flavor.
First, we just need to crush the 6 graham crackers. You can do this in a food processor or just stick them in a baggie and use a rolling pin to roll them out until finely ground.
Then, just add your crushed crackers, flour, sugar, and butter into a small bowl and mix until combined.
Next, press the crust mixture firmly into pan and up the sides…
Bake at 325F for 13 minutes and then remove from oven and allow to cool while you work on the filling.
The Cheesecake Filling
Add 8 ounces of cream cheese to a stand mixer with 1/3 Cup Sugar and ¼ Cup Cornstarch. Beat on low for 3 minutes until smooth.
Add remaining cream cheese one block at a time, letting it combine before adding the next one.
Increase mixer speed to medium and add in remaining sugar, vanilla and eggs. Mix until smooth (about 2 minutes)
Then add in your ¾ cup of Heavy Cream and mix only until blended on low speed.
Pour your mixture onto your cooled crust and tap the pan gently on the counter to remove and air bubbles.
The Water Bath
The idea here is to place your springform pan inside of another pan with enough water to reach about one inch up the side. This can be any pan.. crazy enough this sad old tin turkey roasting pan that I don’t even know where I got is my favorite for this step. It has high enough sides where I don’t have to worry about any water boiling over and the cheesecake fits perfectly inside. It doesn’t have to be fancy, use what you’ve got available.
Bake at 350F until edges are golden brown, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Remove and let cool completely before removing the exterior portion of the pan. Refrigerate overnight for best results.
This cheesecake is great on its own or you can dress it up with the topping of your choice. I just simply heated up some sliced strawberries on the stove top until they released all their natural juices.. making a beautiful strawberry glaze.
And then just eat it up, buttercup.. because life is short.. and you most definitely should eat dessert 😋
Do you have a favorite recipe? Or perhaps one that took you ages to get just right?
Much Love,

I simply love cheesecake in any way/form/shape/baked or not, you did me harm with this post 🤪
Cake never causes harm, ever 😉
Hey thank you ☺️
Baked cheese cakes are my favourite way to eat cheese.
I don’t discriminate against cheese, I eat it in all forms. 😉 But cheesecake is a damn good way to do it.
We all have preferences, but I am not a cheesist.
that’s what they all say.
Wow... I was wandering where you've been all these while😊.
Nice post and thanks for this knowledge you shared. ❤✌

Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
On steem, have crypto?
Self proclaimed community watchdogs are actually hacking and stalking people.
This group https://steemit.com/@steemspeak is ran by https://steemit.com/@fyrstikken, They are hacking people that enter this discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/sqxV63P . Once you are hacked they profile you long enough to know all of your activities. They introduce workplace gangstalking visits and bring it to your attention cleverly and discretely so only you get it. They are very covert and tricky with everything they say and do in this server. Some claim to have worked for or are working with the FBI and the NSA. Mixed with decommissioned traders and coding criminals, Its a scary mix of creepy people and their intent is to drive you crazy and deplete everything you have ever acquired in life, even your freedom.
My hacking started with them introducing ransomware that has options, dump my coin or delete my system drive. They acknowledged this to me in the server as it happened.
This hacking and stalking is done so they can manipulate the target to pump and dump for them. Threatening and Making victims wear head phones, so nobody in your household can hear thier dramatization towards you. In 2017 this server was side marked as a drama show for entertainment purposes only as an excuse to say whatever they want all the way down to killing a politician. They have a server side command called "hey asshole" making a prompt come up instructing everyone to wear headphones. They want everyone wearing headphones so nobody in your vicinity can hear them mess with you. Fystikken says its because of "mic feedback" but once your a target you get exactly why they make everyone wear headphones.
With headphones on they subliminally direct victims with very low suggestive whispers mixed into their radio shows music. Combine this with them being able to manipulate their own individual outputs sound volume, which they control on the server side, they can pick what individual people hear at any given time. They decide who you hear on the server and change the volume controls for them. They can make some really low or off for those trying to investigate. They control who hears what and know who is who.
This team will find absolutely everything they can about you prior to using their suggestive and threatening program. They Introduce pictures that mean something only to the target, inducing paranoia while they watch and listen thru all of your circumvented devices. They are very aware of what makes you tick. They know your work schedule and use it for work stalking along side of this. I received multiple threatening letters to my work and home addressed to my screen name from this group.
Fyrstikken tells people they are drafted like they did with Facebook at the beginning. He says Facebook was started by forced labor and V2K controlled slaves, just like he creates with his gang for steem and crypto. "Get to work bitch" he tells people once circumvented and intimidated.
If your an agent Investigating them, guess what? You are circumvented. They are high tech, over funded and well connected.
been looking for a foolproof baked cheesecake recipe for years - will try this weeeknd, thankyou
