How to bake the perfect cheesecake crust

** UPDATE
The cheesecake filling recipe is now out!! • The PERFECT Cheesecake
Who doesn't love cheesecake and to me one of the best things about cheesecake is the crust so I decided to devote an entire video on how to get a super tall crust which will make your cheesecake picture perfect
What I use in this video: (paid links)
food processor - amzn.to/3rqUJUV
6inch springform from: amzn.to/3qDP0Mt
cake stand: amzn.to/3nBSzk6
Crust
Enough for a 6-7-inch in diameter spring form pan (and 3 inch tall)
Ingredients
190g Digestive biscuits/graham crackers
1/2 cup (114g) unsalted butter (you can use 100g and that works too)
A pinch of salt

Locking the parchment at the bottom, so genius! I'll be doing that next time.

[@BakingNicky]

Loved this too when I tried it! So convenient to slide it right out 😊

[@homosapienas6184]

Thank you so much for these tips. I'm gonna use this for my parents anniversary's cake.

[@BakingNicky]

[@jonmaclin8344]

What temperature did you bake the crust at and for how long? 😢

[@QueenChatty1]

I see everything else listed on what you used in the video but I didn't see the scale can you tell me which one you have. Great video and thanks!

[@BakingNicky]

Sorry im a little late, the scale I have came with one of my coffee grinders and I love it so much! Unfortunately not sold separately :/

[@mayaschapira]

🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️

[@BakingNicky]

Thank you so much!

[@michaellopez7051]

I am just thinking and would like to ask you - would this digestive crust be good for a strawberry pie?

[@BakingNicky]

hello there, how liquid would the filling be?

[@bluesky7126]

Perfection 😍😍 I made a cheesecake, but the bottom crust turned mushy the next day. What do you think I am doing wrong? I thought maybe I didn’t let it cool before putting it on the fridge?

[@bbas2x650]

Pre-bake your crust and cool down prior to adding the cheesecake batter

[@bluesky7126]

Thank you for replying 😊

[@ter8330]

One last question, why don't you bake your crust? Thanks!

[@ter8330]

Do you use the paper to make sure nothing sticks? I have never done that and have never needed to, but.. good idea!

[@BakingNicky]

Great question, I do it for easier release without touching the actual cheesecake to move it 😊

[@ter8330]

Thank you!!@@BakingNicky

[@mmm1024]

Hello i hope you are doing well , from where is your measuring cup?

[@BakingNicky]

hi there, im doing fine I hope you too :) you want to know about the measuring cup with the melted butter? If so, then I got these in the UK, brand is mason cash :)

[@mmm1024]

Baking Nicky Thank you so much dear .. actually i did the crust today and it was fabulous! Thankyou for this amazing video , wish you all the best - munerah from kuwait 🇰🇼

[@iwant8907]

Where did you get the food processer from?

[@BakingNicky]

It's the small one from kitchenAid: www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KFC3516CU-Chopper-Contour-Silver/dp/B01LX8I3R3/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2RXIP019U7F7I&keywords=kitchenaide+food+processors&qid=1565685659&s=gateway&sprefix=kitchen+aid+food%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-5 its ok for small things :)

[@QueenChatty1]

@@BakingNicky I love that food processor so much that I purchased another and put it away to have when if this one dies. I have had it for 8 yrs and it is working flawlessly! I have even made cheesecake icing in it. Great little workhorse!

[@BakingNicky]

Totally agree! It’s great for lots of things ❤️

[@damora626]

Is there a good substitute for the butter? Or must it be only with butter?

[@BakingNicky]

You can use vegetable fat like margarine or coconut oil will work too, something that is solid at room temperature :)

[@damora626]

@@BakingNicky Great! Thankss😊

[@BakingNicky]

Florangela Duque anytime 🙂

[@miyokotakahoshi8109]

Csn this pie crust be used for custard pie and fruit pie? Or mainly for cheese cAke?

[@BakingNicky]

You could use it for other things but the purpose I had in mind was for a cheesecake 🙂

[@miyokotakahoshi8109]

@@BakingNicky thanks

[@tracyling6478]

Is this suitable for no-bake cheesecake too?

[@BakingNicky]

Absolutely! Maybe you can play around to adjust the butter content though, add it slowly and stop when you can compress it together :)

[@zaziz8]

you said unsalted but you used kerrygold with the gold wrapper that is salted. the unsalted kerrygold is grey right?

[@BakingNicky]

Depends on the country, for me this is the unsalted, I’ve seen different colors used in the UK and Germany 😅

[@amani_24816]

Hold long do u bake it?

[@BakingNicky]

Hi there, please find all the details of the cheesecake recipe in here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp7HYZuCh9mGrsk but to answer your question, it takes about 1 hr in a low oven :)

[@jperaz00]

Can you share the filling recipe?

[@BakingNicky]

Sooo sorry to just read this! I haven't gotten around to remaking my old cheesecake video, the recipe is still the same I just wanted to reduce the baking time to have a paler version, please find my recipe here for now kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4S4gIuwrKeXf6c Newer version will follow soon :)

[@nehaghosh1]

I want to bake the crust but not the filling .. like make a no bake cheesecake but crust should be baked as it should come off the mould.. is that possible and ok?

[@BakingNicky]

Hi there! Should be just fine You’ll only need like 15 minutes until it gets nice and golden brown 🙂

[@ashmitarampertap6898]

@@BakingNicky Hi, at what temperature do we bake for 15 min. ?

[@miskyloo887]

If made a day earlier would th gd crust stay crispy?

[@BakingNicky]

Absolutely! I like chilling cheesecake overnight anyway 😊

what is the name of the food processer?

It’s the basic one from kitchen aid 🙂

What to do if u don’t have the cake former thing?

[@BakingNicky]

You can use a cake ring too :)

[@Katrinabuttles827]

I’m looking something like homemade crust .

[@cesarionuback]

You sure it's the right ratio of biscuit & butter? Mine is so lumpy using this recipe

[@BakingNicky]

Sorry about that, lots of people have had successfully made this, not sure what could’ve gone wrong, you could adjust of course by adding more cookie crumbs that’s all I can say

[@keyla371]

Ahhh Thanks for this. Now I can keep the paper still. Lol

[@BakingNicky]

that part is always tricky lol

[@hanaakamel1247]

Thanks for the video. I am not a native speaker. What does " crust" mean here?

[@BakingNicky]

It means the bottom part of the cheesecake, the cookie part 👍

[@tonytemple8195]

Did I miss how long in the oven bit??? 🤔

[@BakingNicky]

It depends on your cheesecake recipe and size! for example in my recipe (the follow up on this video) I bake it at 165C for about 1 hr. You can find this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp7HYZuCh9mGrsk Thanks for watching!

[@trentaccid2177]

No you did not this is manly about making the crust. But your creme cheese you buy will give you times it takes. The key to good crust here is after putting the crust in refrigerate for the time she said for a solid crust before baking .

[@aanietariq4192]

why the crust get so so hard ??

[@majestic6303]

Can you pre bake the crust instead of putting in the fridge?

[@BakingNicky]

Ms. Congeniality hi! Absolutely you can and it will taste better if you ask me 😉

[@sebastiandeuser8992]

Whenever I read cheesecake I think "Käsekuchen" You know the german version of it?

[@BakingNicky]

Sebastian Deuser of course! I love it, it’s in my to-do list 🤗

[@sebastiandeuser8992]

@@BakingNicky you should combine it. The "New York Käsekuchen" by Baking Nicky.
