I need a good cheesecake recipe. I am making one for my sister for her birthday and there are so many online! Do any of you have ones you've tried and enjoyed? Are there any cheesecake making tips you know?

Unusual cheesecake recipes (chocolate, carrot, etc) welcome as long as they are not super complicated.

This is my mom's recipe. The topping she refers to is either blueberry or cherry pie filling you buy in a can, but really anything can do. We make them at Fourth of July for red, white, and blue cheesecake. They're super simple and really yummy.

3 8 oz. size cream cheese
5 eggs
1 cup sugar

Mix the above with a mixer. Put 2 paper cupcake cups in cup cake pan and then fill with mixture 2/3 fill. Bake for 27 minutes at 325.

By hand mix:

1 pint sour cream and 1/2 cup sugar.

Spread over tarts and bake another 5 minutes. Cool well. Then put on whatever topping you want to.

Should that be 12 paper cupcake cups? And cupcakes were what I was thinking of because I need to make TWO cakes that day.

Sorry, this was how she sent it to me, so I forgot to change it. It should be 2 paper liners per cupcake hole. I believe the recipe makes 24 cupcake sized cheesecakes. She'd do one tray of blueberry and one tray of cherry, but again, feel free to substitute the topping for your favorite fruit.

That's why she says to only fill it 2/3 full, so you have room to put the fruit on top.

I made this for my sister's birthday; it was very popular: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/White-Chocolate-Raspberry-Cheesecake/Detail.aspx

It's a bit of work if you're making the raspberry sauce from scratch, but you can probably get by with some jam instead if you prefer. Cheesecake tips...hmm, your batter will mix better if ingredients are room temp (especially the cream cheese - otherwise you'll have little chunks of cream cheese floating around). Don't bake until it's completely set; you want a little bit of wobble in the center (it'll keep cooking once the oven is off). I'm usually too lazy to use a water bath (and I don't really have a container that fits my springform pan), but leaving the cheesecake to cool in the oven rather than immediately taking it out can help with cracks.

Good luck!

Thank you for all the tips. I have a springform pan somewhere. I'll just have to find it.

I'll see if I can find the cheesecake recipe my Mom got from a former coworker tomorrow. The woman who gave it to her used to sell her cheesecakes in local restaurants; she has since passed away. I highly recommend using a sringform pan for it. It is one of the cheesecakes that need to be baked in an oven.

Thanks!

Though I'm not in the business now, I used to work for a bakery/caterer and have made a ridiculous amount of cheesecakes in my life. These days baking is a hobby (occasional side business), and this is my 'go-to' cheesecake (when I can pick the flavor).

This cheesecake recipe is super easy, amazingly delicious and quite forgiving, which is my favorite part.

Honestly, I skip the wrapping the springform in foil... I do grease it though. But I also make a simple oreo-cookie crust for mine. (1/3 cup butter and 2/3 bag oreo cookies crushed - OR - just buy a premade Oreo cookie pie crust and repurpose!) You could also do a graham cracker, or nilla wafer crust. I like a crust just because I find it easier to serve with one.

Also -I don't place my springform in a pan of water, I just put a separate pan of water on the lower rack in the oven. (I do this for any cheesecake... putting the pan IN the water is just always a pain in the ass).

The trickiest part is not overcooking. You still want a little wiggle in the center.

Oh - and I do all of my melting of white chocolate in the microwave! 30 seconds at a time in a microwave safe bowl. Easy peasy.

The sauce is easily made by microwaving the chocolate & cream in slow increments, mixing occasionally then adding the brandy when done. Takes about 2 minutes max.

You can modify this as you want as well. I've swirled in lime curd, or fruit purees/sauces, or crumbled oreos. I tend to top mine with some homemade whipped cream rosettes (heavy cream, sugar & vanilla) because I like to make it pretty. I've also done a white chocolate or dark chocolate ganache.

If you're really feeling adventurous and want something really extravagant, I've also got an amazeballs recipe for a Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake, but it's a bit more involved that the one above.
