Classically, the New York cheesecake is made with a biscuit base, but I chose the fast version and chose a cookie base.There are countless cheesecake recipes and I have already baked and tried some. Often they were too dry or too soft. And so I created this delicious but simple cheesecake recipe.

With my tips for a creamy New York Cheesecake, you’ll be soon a cheesecake pro.

Tips and tricks for a rich and creamy cheesecake
Preparation is the alpha and omega of baking and not just for a cheesecake.

1. Read the entire recipe from start to finish. So you have a small overview and knows what to expect.
2. All ingredients should be room warm, so all the ingredients combine perfectly with each other.
3. Use the best quality ingredients and if possible, don´t use a reduced-fat cream cheese. You will taste the difference.
4. Don´t over mix the cheesecake filling too long and strong. There should be as less air bubbles as possible under the mass. If you do not have a food processor, it is best to work with a whisk. A hand mixer usually beats too much air underneath.
5. New York Cheesecake is baked in a water bath, german cheesecake not.
6. By baking in a water bath, the tearing in the cake is prevented / bzw. minimized and it gets deliciously creamy.
7. Open the oven door after 50 minutes of baking If you want to cover the cake.
8. The cheesecake still picks up after baking, so don´tt leave it too long in the oven.
9. After baking let the cheesecake slowly cool down for 1 hour in the oven by turning off the oven, and crack the door open. The difference too hot and cold isn´t too big and the cake can slowly relaxe.
10. Allow the cake to cool completely before you let it soak in the fridge overnight / 12 hours.
