Classic Cheesecake
The cheesecake is one of those desserts that is unbelievably classic, and it feels like a rite of passage. Mainly because it takes so long to finish from start to finish. Just make sure you do not waste time.
What is the difference between baked and unbaked cheesecake?
The unbaked cheesecake is still made with cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, but instead of the eggs, Cool Whip is incorporated into the mix to hold it tight. The mixture is placed in the refrigerator for several hours. The baked cheesecake has egg in the cheesecake (it helps with this soft and fluffy texture), so it should be cooked.
How do I make a cheese cake?
They make a crust, mostly graham crackers, and then a cream cheese filling that is poured over the crust and then baked.
What is a water bath for baking cheesecake?
A water bath is a frying pan filled with boiling water (enough to grow half the cheesecake). The water bath moisturizes the oven, preventing the cheesecake from breaking or becoming gummy. It also helps to provide a slower heat source than just the furnace.
