Re: Cheesecake Recipe!

[(Anonymous)]

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.

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/7385/white-chocolate-cheesecake-with-white-chocolate-brandy-sauce/

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.
