Icebox Oreo Cheesecake

 

Ingredients:

 

Icebox Oreo Cheesecake

serves 12-16

For the Crust
30 Oreo cookies, broken into rough pieces
7 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

For the Filling
1 cup whole milk, divided
4 extra large egg yolks
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
2 pounds regular cream cheese (not low fat), cut into 1-inch chunks and softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
16 Oreo cookies, broken into rough pieces

For the Topping
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
8 mini-Oreo cookies

For the Crust
In the bowl of a food processor, process the cookies and butter until finely ground.  Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.  Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.

For the Filling
Heat 3/4 cup of the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until simmering.  Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks, flour, and remaining milk in a a large bowl until smooth.  Slowly whisk the hot milk into the yolk mixture to temper the yolks.  Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until very thick and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes.  Off heat, whisk in the white chocolate until melted.  Transfer the pudding to a bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Refrigerate until cold and set, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.

With a stand mixer or a hand held mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.  Reduce the speed to medium-low and mix in the chilled pudding until just combined, about 30 seconds.  Pour one-quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly into the chilled crust and sprinkle one-third of the broken cookies over the surface.  Repeat the process twice, then top with the remaining filling.  Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight. (Cheesecake can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days.)

For the Topping
In a chilled bowl, whisk together the cream and sugar until soft peaks form.  Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star-tip and pipe rosettes around the edge of the cake.  Garnish with the mini cookies; slice and serve.  Enjoy!

How to make Easy Cheesecake

Lovely summer dessert that's easy to make. I don't actually have own any chefs rings, so I couldn't make a proper looking cheesecake. But actually, if you are in a rush then by using a soufflé dish or even a wine glass (as seen on an episode of The F Word, I think.) can save you time and will taste just as delicious!

1. Mix together the melted butter, digestive biscuits and cinnamon.
2. Spoon the mixture into a chefs ring and press down with the back of a spoon to make the base. Place into the freezer for a short period of time.
3. In a bowl, combine the whipped cream, mascarpone cheese, sugar and any other extras for the topping.
4. Spoon into the chefs ring, on top of the biscuit base. Remove the chefs ring using a hot towel or blow torch quickly. If the mixture is too runny, then refrigerate before removing the chefs ring.
5. Garnish and serve!

Key Lime Cheesecake

Key Lime Cheesecake
Makes one 9-inch Cheesecake

Ingredients:

Crust:
2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
3 Tablespoons Sugar
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
Filling:
24 Ounces Cream Cheese, at room temperature
¼ Cup Sour Cream, at room temperature
1 Cup Sugar
3 Large Eggs, at room temperature
3 Tablespoons Key Lime Juice
2 Tablespoons Lime Zest
1½ Teaspoon Key Lime Extract
Whipped Cream:
1 Cup Heavy Cream, chilled
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Tablespoons Lime Zest
Preheat oven to 325 ˚F.

How to Make Key Lime Cheesecake

Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter until moistened and resembles the texture of wet sand. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan and press crumbs into the bottom of the pan and about one inch up the sides. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and cool to room temperature.
Using a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip the cream cheese and sour cream until its light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the sugar.  Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add the lime juice, lime extract and zest until well combined.  Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven with a pan half full of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and allow the cake to sit in the oven with the door propped open for about 30 minutes. (To prop the oven door, I use a wooden handled spoon to keep it ajar a few inches). Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.  Allow the cake to cool for an additional 30 minutes.  Wrap well with plastic film and foil. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Carefully remove the sides of the pan by running a hot knife around the outside of the cake.
When you are ready to serve, prepare the whipped cream. Using a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the chilled heavy cream on high until it just holds stiff peaks. Slowly sprinkle in the sugar until you reach a thick consistency. Add in the zest and whip until combined.
Pipe the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake and garnish with additional lime slices and zest.
Enjoy!

No Bake Lemon Cheesecake

 

Ingredients

• 200g digestive biscuits (I used sweetmeal)
• 100g butter
• 200g cream cheese
• 150ml double cream
• 75g icing sugar
• juice of 1 lemon (or 2 if you really like lemon)

How to make No Bake Lemon Cheesecake

I adore this dessert. It's SO easy and tastes delicious. You can add your own twist too by adding ginger or trying different fruits and juices.

1. Put all the biscuits into a food bag, hold the end and crush the biscuits with the end of a rolling pin or something similar. Alternately, grind with the back of a large wooden spoon in a mixing bowl.
2. When you have lots of small crumbs in a mixing bowl, add the butter. I find melting it before helps this stage a lot.
3. Mix the base mixture together, to create a moist biscuit base.
4. Fill an 8" cake tin or something similar with the mixture, and press down with the back of a spoon, and leave in the fridge to set.
5. Add the cream cheese to the double cream in a mixing bowl and whisk until you have a thick, creamy mixture.
6. Add the icing sugar and lemon juice and anything else you wish to add, and mix in until smooth and thick.
7. Add on top of the biscuit base, and spread evenly.
8. Leave to set in the fridge for a few hours until the topping has set.
9. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Cheesecake

 

Ingredients

Filling

• 600 g cream cheese
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• pinch of nugmeg
• 1/4 cup of flour
• 1 cup pureed pumpkin (boil and dump in the blender)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp rum
• 1/4 cup whole cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Crust

• butter
• graham crackers

How to make Pumpkin Cheesecake

This is a modified version of my dad's holiday pumpkin cheesecake. He used to make it around Thanksgiving and Christmas for parties or just for us. It's a wonderful combination of pumpkin pie and cheesecake.
To modify it I've added my beloved rum and some brown sugar to complement the pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg trio. I also decided to add some cream and vanilla after consulting a few other cheesecake recipes. It's not too sweet and has that rich, creamy New York-style cheesecake taste.

1. Crush the graham crackers and mix with butter in the cake pan to create the crust. Let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour.
2. Cream the cheese with the sugars with an electric mixer or by hand if you'd like the exercise. It should be creamy and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one by one folding well into the mixture. After the eggs have been mixed in, add the rum, cream, and vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl sift flour with cinnamon, nutmeg. Mix in the pumpkin puree.
5. Add the pumpkin mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir together until smooth.
6. Pour the mixture into your cake pan and set in a shallow pan filled with water. The water should come up to less than half of the cake pan. Place in an oven that's been preheated to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F)
7. Bake until a knife comes out clean. Let sit until it comes to room temperature and store in the refrigerator. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.

Bananas~Foster Cheesecake

 

Ingredients

CHEESECAKE:

• 1 lb cream cheese
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 bananas, frozen and thawed (you could use mashed bananas instead)
• 1 oz rum

CARAMEL:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup rum
• nutmeg and cinnamon to taste

2 9-inch graham cracker crusts

How to make Bananas Foster Cheesecake

This Thanksgiving, I put myself in charge of dessert.  Besides the traditional pumpkin and apple pies, I wanted to make something different, as one member of our family doesn't like traditional fall pie spices.  Last year she ate chocolate cream pie from a mix.  Well, I couldn't have that again.

This one was mostly born out of the fact that I had leftover bananas in my freezer.  Combine that with caramel and booze, and you have bananas foster.  Throw cheesecake into the mix ... well, now you're unstoppable.

1. For the cheesecake:  Cream the cream cheese, cornstarch and sugar together with an electric mixer until fully combined.  Add the eggs one at a time, waiting until the first one is fully incorporated before you add the other.  Throw in the bananas and the rum and blend until incorporated.  If you still have some banana chunks left, that's OK.  Pour the batter into the pie crusts and move to the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
2. For the caramel:  Put the butter and brown sugar into a heavy skillet over medium-low heat.  Add nutmeg to taste (I probably used 1/4 teaspoon) and cook and stir until it starts to bubble and the water is fully incorporated.  Turn off the heat, pour on the rum, and flame CAREFULLY with a long-stemmed lighter.  Return the caramel to the heat, and sprinkle over just a dash of cinnamon while the flames are still burning.  (It makes pretty sparkles!)  Cook just until the flames die down, then remove from heat.
3. Get your chilled cheesecakes out of the freezer and drizzle half the caramel onto each.  Using a knife, make swirly patterns with the caramel in the top of the cake.  Don't stir too much -- you don't want to incorporate everything, you want the swirl.
4. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.  Turn the heat off and let the cheesecakes stand in the oven for another hour.  Cool, then refrigerate before serving.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Cheesecake

1 quart whole milk yogurt, strained overnight or up to 24 hours (discard whey)
½ cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt

How to make Pumpkin Cinnamon Cheesecake

1. Fill the bottom of a baking dish with a little less than ¼ inch of water
2. Cut pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and place face down in baking dish
3. Roast pumpkin in the oven for 45-55 minutes until soft
4. Allow pumpkin to cool and scrape flesh into a bowl, then measure out 2 cups
5. In a cuisinart, combine 2 cups pumpkin, strained yogurt (minus the whey which was strained out), agave, vanilla and lemon juice and process until smooth, about 1-2 minutes
6. Process in cinnamon and salt
7. Pour batter into a 9-inch tart pan

 Ingredients

For the base:

• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chip cookies (or chocolate digestive biscuits if you have them)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

For the top:

• 3 1/4 cups really good dark chocolate (broken into small pieces)
• 1 cup finely ground white sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tubs soft cream cheese (8 oz tubs)

How to Make The Best Chocolate Cheesecake

In a food processor, grind the chocolate chip cookies to course crumbs. Then add the butter, brown sugar and cocoa powder and pulse a few times until combined.

Add this mixture to a 9 inch round spring form cake pan and press it firmly into the bottom of the pan until you're left with a flat, compressed surface.

Place the pan in the refrigerator.

Fill 1/3 of a medium sized sauce pan with water and heat on the stove until the water begins to simmer, then turn the heat to medium/low.

Place a heat proof bowl on top of the pan and add the broken up chocolate.

When the chocolate has melted add the sugar and stir well, then add the heavy cream.

Let this all melt together and then take the bowl off the heat.

Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl of chocolate and whisk this well with an electric mixer.

Pour this mixture on top of the base of the cake pan and smooth out on top with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 3 hours until set.

When the cheesecake is ready to be served, run a knife around the whole cake, then un-clip the spring form pan gently and remove the top.

I like to take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving, so that it slightly softens.

When the cheesecake is ready to be served, run a knife around the whole cake, then un-clip the spring form pan gently and remove the top.

 

The American Dream New York Cheesecake

Cheese filling: 1,4 g cream cheese, 360 g sugar, 50 g sour cream, 30 g flour, 1 orange and 1 lemon (the zests), 1 tbsp. lemon juice, 2 tsp. vanilla essence, 2 egg yolks, 5 eggs (medium size),
Glaze:
200 g sour cream, 20 g sugar

How to make The American Dream: New York Cheesecake

Grease a springform pan with smooth butter. Roast the nuts in a pan without any oil, leave them to cool down, and chop them in a food processor.
Melt the butter. Chop the rusk in the food processor and mix it with sugar, the nuts and the melted butter. Coat the bottom of the pan with this mixture evenly, apply a foil and press on with your fingers. Remove the foil.
Preheat your oven to 135 degrees C with air circulation (fan assisted/convection oven).
Stir the cheese creamy and add sugar, sour cream, flour, lemon- and orange zests, lemon juice and vanilla essence one thing at a time. Stir in the eggs and egg yolks one by one.
Fill this batter into the pan and smooth down. Insert the pan on the bottommost grid of your oven.
Bake it for 20 min., then remove it from the oven. Loosen the batter's border round the pan by using a thin knife. Leave the form outside the oven for about 20 min., then carry on baking it for about 110 min. now. The interruption makes the cheesecake more even. Keep its color light by covering the pan with an oiled baking foil after 50 min. and rotate the pan on the grid if your oven doesn't keep the temperature evenly.
After the second baking period remove the cake from the oven and let it rest for 20 min. Increase the temperature to 160 degrees C with air circulation (fan assisted/convection oven).
Mix sour cream and sugar, pour over the cake, smooth down and bake it for another 15 to 20 min. Then remove from the oven and leave it to cool down in the springform pan. Chill it in the fridge until the following day.
Befor serving heat the pan's bottom on a hoptplate for just a few seconds. This makes it easier to let it slide on to a serving plate.

Then fold in the the 2/3 of the egg white. Attention --- don't overact... it doesn't matter if you can see some egg-white-spots!
6. Give the dough carefully to the spring form. Bake it just as long, that if you touch the middle of the cake you can feel that the dough "jumps" bake to the form. In all NOT longer than 10 minutes! Let it cool down in your kitchen and make the filling. Don't take it out of the spring form. Wrap the spring form with 2 slices of tin foil and caulking it.

The Cream Cheese Filling

4. (Cool down for 60minutes) - Cover in polythene foil and let it cool for 4 hours or overnight.
5. 4 hours later or on the next morning you can take the cake out of the spring form.

Cherry Topping
If you want you can make a delicious topping! In this case we decided to make just a "round frame" .. so we had the possibility to write something in the middle of the cake!
Give all to a pan and cook it. Cook it for 1-2 minutes till the sauce is thicker. Cool it down for a minute and decorate the cake with this!

Lattace Lemon Cheesecake

 

Ingredients

• 250 grams of Butter softened
• 500 grams of Philadelphia Cream Cheese softened
• Juice of one large Lemon, or two small Lemons
• 1 tablespoon of Gelatin
• 3 tablespoon of Boiling Water
• 1 cup of Caster Sugar
• 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Bean Paste
• 2 packets of Lattace Biscuits or Similar ( puff pastry biscuit)

How to make Lattace Lemon Cheesecake Slice

Blend butter in a free standing mixer and blend on high until light and creamy. Add cream cheese and blend again on high till all smooth and creamy. Add gelatin to the boiling water and allow to dissolve and cool slightly. While beating on a low speed add the sugar, lemon juice, vanilla bean paste and dissolved gelatin. Once combined, turn the speed up to medium and keep beating until light and fluffy. Line a large slice pan or baking tray with grease proof paper. Line one packet of biscuits in the tray. Pour over the cream cheese filling and smooth out flat. Then line the second packet of biscuit on top of the filling. Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours or until set.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray the bottom of a 9 x 9 by 2-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Grind the biscotti in a food processor. Add the melted butter and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and process until the crumbs are moistened. Press the crumb mixture over the bottom (not the sides) of the pan. Bake til the crust is golden, approx 15 minutes. Cool.

Blend the ricotta in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer. Add cream cheese and sugar and mix well. Mix in the limoncello, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Add the eggs one at a time, and mix just until blended.

Pour the cheese mixture over the crust in the pan. Place the baking pan in a larger glass pan. Add enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking pan. Bake until the cheesecake is golden and the center of the cake moves slightly when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour (the cake will become firmer when it is cold).

Cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until the cheesecake is cold, at least 8 hours and up to 2 days. Cut the cake into squares and serve! YUM!
Serve with a chilled glass of limoncello after a nice Italian meal.

Lemon Zest 2 1/2 tablespoons
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Salt 1 teaspoon
Eggs 4 oz Egg yolks 1.5 oz

Milk 1 oz
Lemon Juice 0.25 oz
Crust: 
4 oz any cookie
1 oz sugar
2 oz melted butter.

See Note at bottom*

How to make Passionfruit Cheesecake with Chocolate Graham Cracker

1. Line the bottom of a 10 inch pan with a parchment paper and spray cooking oil or butter the sides of the pan. Coat the sides with a thin layer of graham cracker crust and a thick layer about half an to three quarter inch of cookie crust at the bottom. Preheat the oven to 400F.  
2. Put the cream cheese in the mixing bowl with the paddle attachment, mix at low speed until it is smooth and lump free.  
3. Add sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt gradually into the mixer. Blend until smooth and even. Occasionally, stop the mixer and scrap the sides of the bowl and mix. It can get really messy now. 
4. Add the eggs, a little at a time until each addition is well blended. Continue adding until all is well mixed. 
5. Now, add all the diary products and lemon juice, while the machine is still in low speed. Be patient! 
6. Strain the mixture with a china cap strainer. Fill the pans and up to 3/4 full. Take a larger pan and or deep baking tray to make a water bath/ bain marie. Place the cheesecake pans on the deep tray, place it in the oven, and pour water into the pan (yes, while your trays are halfway in the oven, to avoid spilling water). 
7. Lower the temperature to 350F and bake until set. It takes about 50 minutes to an hour. Its a good wait. 

To unmold the cheesecake. Simply place the cheesecake in the cooler for an hour or more if you can, overnight. 
Hit the bottom and the sides of the pan with your palm. Invert the cake on a flat plate/cardboard/cutting board (if you like it ghetto style) with a layer of cling wrap, place a plate on the bottom of the cake and flip it again.

 Note** Add passionfruit to taste...Can use - raspberry, banana, strawberry or even blackberry puree in place of passionfruit.

Chocolate Cheesecake

How to Make Chocolate Cheesecake

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Cheesecake is great. But try adding a chocolaty twist to a classic dessert. Chocolate cheesecake will satisfy any sweet-tooth.

Ingredients

• 2 cups (220 g) chocolate cookies, crushed
• 3/4 cup (170 g) butter, melted
• 4 8-oz. (230 g) packages cream cheese
• 1 cup (200 g) white sugar plus 1 tbsp.
• 1 cup (230 g) sour cream
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup (180 g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
• 2 tsp. coffee powder (do not use instant coffee)
• 1/4 tsp. almond extract

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 450 F (230 C, gas mark 8) and set aside a 9 to 12" springform baking pan.
2. Put the chocolate cookies in a plastic bag or a freezer bag and place it on a counter.
3. Crush the cookies by pressing the base of a drinking glass into them. The size of the crumbs is up to you.
4. Pour the crumbs into a medium bowl, along with the teaspoon of sugar and all of the melted butter. Mix these together using a wooden spoon.
5. Pour the mixture into the pan you set aside earlier.
6. Press the crust evenly into the base of the pan and up its sides using your fingers.
7. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until it gets creamy.
8. Add the almond extract and cup of sugar to the cheese and mix them in until they're incorporated.
9. One at a time, mix each egg into the cheese mixture.
10. Add the coffee powder, sour cream, and melted chocolate to the bowl.
11. Mix everything together until the batter becomes a rich dark color.
12. Pour the batter onto the cookie crust and use a spatula to even out the top.
13. Bake the cake for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 300 F (140 C, gas mark 1) and bake it for another hour. Turn off the heat after it's done.
14. Cool the cake in the oven for about 3 hours. Leaving it in the oven will keep it from cracking when you place it in the refrigerator.
15. Place the cake in the refrigerator after it's had a chance to thoroughly cool. The colder the cheesecake gets, the firmer it will become.
16. Gently remove the cheesecake from the pan when you're ready to plate it.
17. Cut the cheesecake into individual slices, serve them on dessert plates and drizzle leftover or additional melted chocolate over the top of the slices for an additional treat.

Tips

• Avoid whipping the batter, as this creates air pockets that will leave cracks in the cake while baking.

Things You'll Need

• Springform baking pan, 9-12" (or 22-30 cm)
• Plastic or freezer bag
• Drinking glass
• Medium bowl
• Wooden spoon
• Handheld mixer
• Knife
