The creamiest CHEESECAKE I've ever had! Easy New York cheesecake recipe (no water bath)

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/...
SHOP: www.amazon.com...
If you’re looking for a super creamy baked cheesecake recipe that is easy to make (with no water bath required), then this recipe is it! It’s rich, creamy, slightly tart and has the most irresistible biscuit base. I’d go so far as to say it’s the BEST cheesecake recipe I’ve tried!
INGREDIENTS:
For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.
Cheesecake Crust
▢3 cups (360 g) plain sweet biscuits - you can use graham crackers, superwine, Arnott's marie biscuits etc. I used superwine biscuits (my preferred option)
▢¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter - melted
▢3 tbsp (35 g) white granulated sugar
Bake crust at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on for 8 minutes. If your oven doesn't have a fan option, then you will need to increase the baking temperature to 175°C (350°F).
Cheesecake Filling
▢4 cups (905 g) cream cheese - 32 oz in the US. Needs to be room temperature.
▢2 tbsp (15 g) flour - plain, all purpose
▢1¼ cups (250 g) white granulated sugar
▢¾ cup (180 g) sour cream - room temperature
▢2 tsp vanilla extract/essence
▢1½ tsps fresh lemon juice - optional, but recommended
▢⅛ tsp salt
▢4 large eggs - room temperature
Bake cheesecake at 140°C (285°F) with the fan on for 75 mins. If you don't have a fan option (convection mode) then increase baking temperature to 160 °C (320°F)

[@CakesbyMK]

@@rafeeqahtofie3596 Wassalaam! :) I haven't tried a substitute myself but you can try crème fraîche, regular yoghurt or heavy cream, though this will affect the taste and texture slightly but it should still be delicious :D

[@magalyruiz9795]

Hello, thank you so much for the recepie. Can you please tell me how many cream cheese bars is 4 cups please and how much sour cream in cups please. I don’t understand grams, thank you so much

[@maedent]

Its sooo soooo good i love all your recipes and tried 5 of them. So precise and perfect that as long i follow them i never go wrong. Thank you so much for your generosity to share them.

[@noopurkumari6418]

I had tried your banana cake first time. Became a fan of that recipe. Then my son started baking recently who is 11 now.i suggested him to follow your recipe. First try he made a Brownie and everyone loved it and it got finished in 30 min. Then he tried your vanilla cake. Today he is planning for a cheese cake.. Hope it turns out awesome as always. Thank you so much for your full proof recipe which helped me get relieved from baking duties 😂. As my son is now a big fan of your recipe and trying it very often. Lots of love MK keep motivating❤

[@aliyaparveen8952]

Hello there, I have just been looking at New York cheesecake to put in my feezer, a Christmas must. I am shocked at how much they have shrunk in size for the same money. This lovely 9" creamy delight will fit the bill just fine. Many Thanks to you.

[@CakesbyMK]

Yesss I feel you, things are so much more expensive atm with the price of ingredients going up! Hope you enjoy the recipe :D

Looks absolutely delicious! Can this same recipe be made in the springform pan without the cookie crumbs, only cheesecake filling? Love from NJ [USA] 💜

[@CakesbyMK]

Thanks so much Veronica! I haven't tried the recipe without the biscuit base myself but I think it would work just fine :D

[@MomsFusionCooking]

Thank you so much for sharing this nice recipe. 👍👍👍

[@discernment_daily]

Looks heavenly, you go girl!

[@caymankatie]

Can’t wait to make this! Your description says you use an 8 x 3 cake pan but in your video you say you use 9 inch, is that 1 inch crucial to anything else in your recipe? Which should I use to match you? Thanks so much I love your vanilla cake recipe!!

[@leenaawad8835]

Hi! I was wondering, can I use margarine instead of butter for this recipe? Thanks! ♥

[@me.cooking]

Looks beautiful, must be very yummy 😊Thank you for sharing Dear ❤❤

[@treehuger3akahalima5]

This looks amazing, could I add fresh blueberries to the cheesecake batter or would that make it difficult for my cheesecake to cook properly ??

[@samie288]

Love your recipes!😗❤️

[@lydia5164]

This looks awesome! Would it work without the flour?

[@Crystalgate]

I have a very different cheezecake recipe I often bake. I'll try yours out next time and compare the tastes.

[@victoriantaba1881]

Love your recipes very much

[@pamsehgal99]

Do we have to use 905g of cream cheese? Is there an alternative or adjustment that can be made?

[@awuramafosuaa6620]

Thanks for this. Please what's the substitute for sour cream?

[@CVenza]

Hi MK, do you have a chocolate version of this cake?

[@angelmosses5564]

I love your recipes. Just want to find out. All your cakes when you add the flour you ask to use a spatula. When i do that the flour is in lumps here and there. Tried mixing but it still reminds so no choice I just use the hand mixer abit. Maybe thats why the cake is not fluffy. Can you advise. Thanks

[@milagrosflores7646]

Niña dios te vendiga me encanta ver tus videos me gustaría saber donde estas viviendo soy boricua y vivo en neu york❤

[@MoorChannel]

Amazing!!!!

[@TitoySofy]

Nice, very nice recipe. Could you share some toppings to accompany this recipe. Thank you so much.

[@CakesbyMK]

You're welcome! :) You could use caramel, chocolate sauce, raspberry compote, so many different options! :D I don't have many topping recipes on my website yet but will keep it in mind for future videos :)

[@wejasif9096]

I always make my cheesecake with chocolate ganache. Tastes great 😋

[@0210fnunez]

I love cheesecake with passion fruit so yummy, I'm making that very soon. If my oven doesn't have a fan, what I should do with it?

[@Ilovemd-p3f]

Cook it longer , fan just makes it cook evenly

[@CakesbyMK]

Yess passionfruit cheesecake is so good! :) I have instructions for baking temps if you don't have a fan function in the description box of the video and also as a pop up during the video. Hope that helps! You basically want to increase the temp by about 15C or 20F so if I bake mine at 160C you would bake yours at 175C (without a fan) :)

[@0210fnunez]

@@CakesbyMK Thank you so much greetings from Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴❤

Hi MK, can i substitute the sour cream for yogurt?

Could the sour cream be replaced with something else? Its very hard to find

[@wejasif9096]

Yogurt

[@marcialall5756]

Authentic New York cheese cake doesn’t have flour, it has corn starch. I am a baker and have this recipe with corn starch. Try corn starch next time and use a water bath. You will get better results 😍

[@aintforchildren9278]

Is it a 1:1 ration if I replace corn starch for flour?🤔

[@marcialall5756]

Sharing my recipe with you. 1 1/2 lb cream cheese, 1/2 lb sugar, 1oz corn starch, 2 eggs, 4 egg yolks, 3 oz sour cream, 2 tsp vanilla extract and lemon zest. Bake @ 350 in water bath for about 1 hour.

Hi MK, are there any substitutions for cream cheese? It costs an arm and a leg😭

[@merrillundgren1790]

At certain times of the year, like around the holidays, cream cheese goes on sale! Stock up because it lasts for a long time!

[@sweetsanddandy8639]

Asking for a cream cheese substitute in a cheesecake recipe is really something. 🙄

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Samantha! :) I feel ya, it can be a bit pricey sometimes, but unfortunately it's a key ingredient in this recipe - so sorry about that!

[@deebanasir2415]

I make cream cheese at home with full cream milk as cream cheese is expensive here as well. Cheesecake tastes still amazing with that. Try that

[@sunainadevi5918]

Can be replaced with hung curd

[@samangiThampo]

Hi, in your butter cream recipie 1cup 230g butter and 2cups 260g icing suger . So are you using 2 different size of cups to measure ingredients???

[@maedent]

Different ingredients have different weights when using it in cups that is why it is better to use a weighing scale to get the perfect consistency

[@denagustafson6070]

Can you make this if you don’t have a convection oven? I have a small convection, but my large oven isn’t fit with the convection feature.

Can phyllo dough be used instead of graham crackers? I'm in love with phyllo and would love to try it. It makes galacktocobuoreoko, a favorite (and very rich), and I wonder if a rich cheesecake would 't be just as decadent.

[@Ilovemd-p3f]

Why not!

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Lisa! :) Ooohh I have never tried that before but I imagine it should work okay as long as the filo is not under/overcooked. I've never tried a galacktocobuoreoko before - I just googled it and it looks delicious!! :D
