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

RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/easy-che...
SHOP: www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk
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)

Aslm dear, how can I sub the sour cream please? Sour cream where I live I not halaal

[@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

[@johnrichardson4016]

Best cheesecake ever. I’ve made three now for family holiday gatherings and it’s a big hit. The easiest, most flavorful cheesecake ever. Thank you! For your detailed instructions and simple hacks for a perfect crust. You get a five star rating.

[@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❤

[@geminil2415]

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

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

[@marioalbertovillalobosnori7625]

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 :)

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???

[@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?

[@Mdua80]

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]

Thanks for the recipe, question can I make this cheesecake without the cookies? Also my oven doesn’t have a fan, what would be the temperature without a fan in the oven…Thanks🙏

[@lisasmith5291]

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.

[@Mdua80]

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

[@lisasmith5291]

It is an amazing treat! It is so rich and creamy. If you'd like my recipe, just let me know! @@CakesbyMK

[@Mrs.FleetOwner]

What happens if you don't use the lemon juice or any lemon flavor at all?

[@Mdua80]

Nothing it will taste good still

[@CakesbyMK]

It'll still taste delicious just ever so slightly less tart :)

[@misbahroohi401]

Do you have biscuit recipie

[@CakesbyMK]

Not yet sorry! But will keep that in mind for future videos :)

[@jancourtney9965]

Why do you add sugar to the biscuit crumbs?

[@CakesbyMK]

Great question! It helps with binding the bicuits together when baked and also helps with keeping the crust firm :)

[@Aplaz-top1]

Hi mk can you pls give me the recipe 😢😢😢😢

Any substitute for eggs please??

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

[@zoeyzhang3808]

Bake for 75mins?

[@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.
