@Sheree You got this… I am no whiz in the kitchen. The biggest problems I had in the past with cheesecake is following standard recipes and not using the water bath!
@Beanc Yep. And the crust on that one is just Pulverized Stroopwaffles butter and some pecans
@MrGoat Depends…
@Beanc I posted the “Recipe”. The baking temp and time is dependent on your altitude and the oven it bakes in. On my oven I bake the crust for 10 minutes at 350 and sprinkle some flour on it and then pour the filling in and bake it at 400 for an hour to an hour and a half
@Sheree I make it up as I go along, but I posted the standard recipe. The main thing is most recipes call for only 2 Eggs, I have found that to be insufficient. The most important things to remember are the water bath, Real Vanilla, fresh lemon juice, and letting it cool down in the springform pan for at least a couple of hours before you top it. The balsamic thing is completely personal to the person making it. I just keep tasting the mix until I like it.
For the crust I just take shortbread or stroopwaffles and put them in the food processor with some brown butter, pecans, a little graham cracker and some brown sugar.. The balsamic strawberry glaze is a fig balsamic reduction and a bunch of strawberries that I liquified in the vita mix and then I and that to the reduction with some honey and reduce further. Next time I will show you guys the Golden Graham chicken sandwich. Maybe I will make a video. Here is a shot of the last one
Cheesecake.
16oz Cream Cheese
8oz Mascarpone
8oz ricotta
1cup of sugar
4 whole eggs
2 additional yolks
2 Madagascar vanilla beans
1 cap full of real vanilla extract (For this I like to open up some vanilla bean pods and let them soak in Michters bourbon for at least a week)
I pinch of Himalayan sea salt
1tsp of fresh lemon juice
The most important thing I have learned is the importance of the Water bath. Place the springform pan wrapped in foil into a roasting pan filled with water….
@Sheree ThenStrawberry balsamic one ai posted earlier was ridiculously good, but peaches in Brown Butter and bourbon was out of this world.
@ceb It Was pretty amazing, although next time I will add the crispy bacon as a garnish.
@Kurtroedeger I am making some mini ones next month I will be shipping out in dry Ice. I can put you on the list!
