My Traditional Cheesecake recipe is a classic vanilla cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. It’s creamy and smooth without being heavy.

I served the Traditional Cheesecake with a blueberry sauce this time. Another favorite is Raspberry Sauce. You can also serve the cheesecake with fresh berries or caramel sauce.

Traditional Cheesecake

I used to be intimidated by two things…well, three. I’m intimidated by wearing stilettos, but so grateful now for platform wedges and I can be tall without fear of ankle injuries!!… but, in the kitchen, I was intimidated by anything with yeast and making cheesecake. Cheesecake just looks so difficult. And, so impressive!! That’s why I wanted desperately, to learn to make it. It is not difficult! In fact, with a couple of tips, you can bake the perfect cheesecake.

I’m happy to say I’ve concurred both ‘fears’. Be sure to click over and read my ‘no-fail’ tips for the perfect cheesecake. I also have a handy little guide for cooking with yeast simply called, Tips for Baking with Yeast.

HOW TO TELL WHEN CHEESECAKE IS DONE

Most cheesecakes are done when the center jiggles just a little when you tap the side of the pan. However, the edges should be set, if they still jiggle your cheesecake isn’t done.

HOW TO STORE YOUR CHEESECAKE

This cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for three or four days sealed in an airtight container. Be sure you cool your cheesecake completely to room temperature before you cover and refrigerate it.

You can also freeze your cheesecake for a couple of months. To freeze, wrap the entire cheesecake, still in the pan, with layers of aluminum foil and plastic wrap, or you can freeze slices.

Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on products used.

Notes

To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, I recommend adding a 'water bath' to the oven when cooking. Simply add about 2 inches of water to a casserole dish or baking pan and place it on the lowest rack in your oven. Place the cheesecake in the center rack above the cheesecake. Bake according to directions.Recipe from Paula @CallMePMc.com All images and content are copyright protected.
