Classic Cheesecake Recipe with Graham Cracker Crust

[@nicolykid]

I made this cheesecake twice and literally every single person I've let try it LOVES it! Makes me feel like a chef 😇 The first one I made with a blueberry sauce, and the second one I made with a strawberry sauce

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Nice going, those sauces sound amazing!

[@Ericadjuster6a]

I have made this twice great recipe. Best cheesecake I’ve had in twenty years. Great vids good production. Love your energy. Keep’em coming.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thank you friend, appreciate it!

[@matthewcondon1985]

I LOVE cheesecake! 🥰 I’ve probably been making cheesecake just as long as you have, Billy. I used to get Grand Canyon cracks in mine. I always make cheesecake in the evening. I discovered that if I open the oven door for a few minutes to let most of the heat out and then close it, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the hot oven all night, It doesn’t crack. I also skip the water bath. I’ve tried it both ways, and I’ve never been able to tell a difference. Vanilla wafers also make a fantastic crust! Great video as usual.

Can you make a pumpkin cheesecake? This recipe is exceptional, my family wants a pumpkin cheesecake for thanksgiving.

[@matthewcondon1985]

Billy, I’ve been experimenting with making a blueberry cheesecake. I’ve looked online and I think I might have found one recipe that was close to what I was looking for. I’m striving for a classic , baked cheesecake, but I’m adding a ton of fresh blueberry purée to the batter. It’s coming along...I still need to adjust some of the ingredient ratios in order to get it to work with all the extra liquid introduced from the blueberries.

[@vipulkadammusic]

I love it

[@user-zc5ic1fz8u]

Can i use buttercream icing to decorate the top with flowers like a cake?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Sure

[@HomeCookingJourney]

This looks so delicious :)

[@oceanbaby4521]

It looks beautiful 😍. I love cheesecake.

[@margueritetrail8482]

[@rachelw1316]

Wow, beautiful presentation!! 👏🏼😀

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for watching

[@mandymanting]

Great video and recipe. Keep it up chef!

[@dragonkids11]

Do you bake the crust first?? Or do you bake it all together?? Looks like all together in the video, is that correct??

[@TheKidsCookingSchool]

Dude, nailed this!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@periwinklebutterfly]

This looks delicious! Do you have a link to a chocolate sauce recipe? I can’t find it on the website?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

I don't, it's simply heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips mixed together. Try 1 cup of chocolate chips to 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Heat it up in a pot over low heat while constantly stirring.

[@periwinklebutterfly]

Oh that sounds easy! Thank you so much!

[@biggdaddy202003]

Solid recipe as this is the type of cheesecake I make all the time. The only thing I do different is I use yogurt instead of sour cream in the cake. I do top it with a mix of sour cream, sugar, and a little vanilla on top. To anyone out do not add cream to your cake as that is a cheater way of making this classic dessert. Lots of places do it to reduce the cream cheese which saves them money.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Sounds delicious

[@rozikakitchen4742]

Wow beautiful

[@andreamoosomin9617]

Ok I made it fingers crossed it's in the oven right now.

[@JenniferReimersGaydo]

Please - anyone - do you grease the inside of the spring form? I didn't see him do it, but just confirming.

[@Chritstfollower]

Hi, I have a question about the cheesecake batter. Did you have any leftover filling/cheesecake batter? I want to know because I don’t want any leftover filling.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

No this fills it up

[@Chritstfollower]

Chef Billy Parisi Ok, thank you!

[@jennybevan3093]

We'll..I'm 52, never made a cheesecake that didn't come out if a packet ..yours is in the oven. Wish me luck!!!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

[@Brand-pn5yz]

I made mine with the crust instruction and its all bumpy like there's still alot of lumps when I poured it in.

[@jasminegifford6132]

Is 8 inch pan ok?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

[@numeroro455]

[@ChefBillyParisi]

You’ll lose some body and flavor but you can replace it if you’d like

Gary, to be honest I didn't notice. It wasn't that bothersom.
