CLASSIC CHEESECAKE WITH SOUR CREAM TOPPING

Steps:

• Crust- Preheat oven to 375. Put half of the box of Graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until finely ground. Measure out 1½ cups into a medium sized bowl.
• Stir together the crumbs and the sugar, and then evenly pour the melted butter into the mixture. Stir using a fork until everything is evenly blended.
• Pour crust mixture into a 9 inch springform pan. Press it evenly around the bottom and and inch up the sides until an even layer is formed. (I used the bottom of a cup for this) Set aside.
• Filling: In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sugar together on medium to medium-high speed. Once fully combined, add the vanilla and one egg. Blend until smooth and fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl down from time to time to ensure everything is being mixed together. Add the remaining eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly each time. (Don't mix on high speed - this will incorporate too much air into the batter and the cheesecake won't be as dense once it bakes.)
• Pour mixture over the crust. Gently tap the pan to encourage any air bubbles to rise to the surface.
• Place the cheesecake into a preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the center no longer jiggles when gently shaken. Once the first layer has baked, let it cool for at approximately 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450° F.
• While the cheesecake is cooling, whisk the sour cream, sugar and vanilla together until smooth. Once the cheesecake has cooled for approximately 15 minutes, pour the sour cream topping over top. Using a rubber spatula or offset spatula, smooth out the surface.
• Place back into the oven (remember the heat should have been increased to 450° F) and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to let cool to room temperature.
• Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to set. *Don't put cheesecake in the fridge until it has cooled to room temperature.

• In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Fold thoroughly into cream cheese mixture; no need to be terribly gentle with it, but you do want the whites to be evenly incorporated. Pour into chilled crust.
• Bake cheesecake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until top is puffed and lightly golden brown. There will be cracks, but that's what the sour cream topping is for. Without opening the oven door, turn the oven off, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven as it cools for 1 hour. Do not take the cheesecake immediately out of the hot oven or it will fall. After an hour, remove cheesecake and heat oven to 450 degrees.

NEW YORK CHEESECAKE WITH SOUR CREAM TOPPING

Steps:

• - Make sure your cream cheese, eggs, sour cream and heavy whipping cream are out of the fridge sitting in a nice cozy corner in the kitchen. - Open your oven and move the top rack to the bottom third. This is where your cheesecake is going to hang out while it's cooking. - Pre-heat your oven to 350F/177F - Find a pan that is large enough to set your springform cheesecake pan in to. I like to use grandma's old aluminum turkey pan. You know which one I'm talking about... it's aluminum and black with white specks on it. Yep, that's the one. - Put your springform pan together, tightly. Did you know that you should flip the bottom upside down prior to closing it up. This makes the cake easier to move the cake from the pan to a serving plate. - Wrap the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan in heavy duty foil. This will keep any of the creamy goodness from escaping while keeping the water-bath out of the cheesecake (did I mention you're going to cook this in a water-bath? Don't be scared... ) *** You've completed step 1 if you're looking at your oven and it's pre-heating and the shelves are all aligned correctly, the spring-foam pan has heavy duty foil lining the bottom of it, you've found the a pan large enough to hold the cheesecake while it cooks as well as the water you're going to add to it and everything that needs to be room temperature is hanging out on the counter somewhere, warming up.
• In a medium size mixing bowl add the crushed graham crackers, sugar, salt and melted butter. Mix it with spoon or buy hand until everything is well blended. It's going to be crumbly and buttery - if it's not there is an issue. Pour graham cracker mixture into the springform pan. Gently spread the crumbly mixture around then press down making sure that the crackers are spread evenly along the bottom. You'll want to try to press some to the sides of the springform as well. You don't have to, but if you choose to make sure you try to make the side walls even all the way around. When you're finished put the pan into the oven for 8-10 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the crackers have darkened a bit. *** WHEN DONE REDUCE TEMP TO 325F/162C
• While the crust is in the oven cooking put the cream cheese into your large mixing bowl. I use the paddle for this part and recommend that you do to. Turn the mixer on at a medium speed letting mix the cream cheese up to a smooth consistency. Add the salt and vanilla and blend for approximately 4 minutes. With the mixer on low gradually add the sugar and then beat it on high for another minute. Turn the speed back to low and add the eggs one at a time (mixing until everything is well incorporated before adding the next egg) Add the sour cream and heavy cream, beat on high for one more minute (the crust should be out of the oven by now and the temperature of the oven should have been reduced to 325F/162C)
• Place the springform pan into the large-sided roasting pan. Pour the cheese filling into the springform pan smoothing the top out with a spatula. *** Pour boiling water around the springform pan being careful to NOT get any water into the cheesecake. The water should go about 1/2 way up the springform pan but below the top of the foil. Carefully place the pan in the oven. Close the door and walk away for 1 hour and 45 minutes. It's going to be tempting to open the door to the oven to look while it's cooking. Don't! If you need to look turn on the oven light and look through the oven window. You don't want to let the heat or steam out. ** If you want your cheesecake to be more firm, leave it in the oven (door closed) for an additional 15-20 minutes.
• When your cooking time is up turn the oven off and open the door a crack. Let it sit like this for an hour before you take the cake out. *** This step will help you avoid cracks in the cheesecake *** But, if you get a crack or two don't be upset because that sour cream topping is going to help cover it up!
• Now that the cheesecake has rested properly in the oven, remove it from the bath and dry the bottom. Place in the fridge on a wire rack and let it chill for at least 4 hour before serving.
• The cheesecake is cool. It's still in the springform pan and your company is on the way. Let's do the last step of getting the sour cream topping prepared and on the cake. Put the sour cream, powdered sugar and vanilla bean paste/extract into a bowl. Whisk it until it's smooth and then pour it onto the cheesecake (still in the springform pan, right?) and spread it out with a spatula. If you had any cracks in the cheesecake this should cover them up quite nicely. Put the cake back in the fridge for an additional 30 minutes (or more) so the sour cream topping can set. Just before company gets to the house, or your ready to serve the cake remove it from the fridge. If the cheesecake hasn't already pulled from the edges (shrinkage) use a knife and carefully go around the sides of the cake. Take your time. Now set the springform on a large can of something-or-other, un-do the lock on the springform and let the pan expand. Lower the sides to the counter. Place the bottom of the springform pan with the cake still on it onto a serving dish. (Removing a cheesecake from the bottom of the springform pan can be dicey and will require a video) CONGRATULATIONS! You've just made an AWESOME Cheesecake!
