Total Time:

To prepare and cook this cheesecake, you’ll need:

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). 🌡️

2. Blend all ingredients together in the blender for seven minutes. Start by adding the cream cheese and sugar, blending until smooth. Gradually add the milk and cornstarch, ensuring there are no lumps. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Finally, add the vanilla extract and give it a final blend until everything is perfectly combined and creamy. The consistency should be smooth and slightly thick. 🥛🍳

3. Prepare your springform pan. If you are using graham cracker crumbs for the crust, press them firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even layer. This step is optional but adds a delightful crunch to your cheesecake. If you prefer a crustless cheesecake, you can skip this step entirely. 🥧

4. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared springform pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly and smooth the top. This ensures a uniform bake and a beautiful finish. 🥄

5. Bake in the preheated oven for one hour, or until the center is just about set. The edges should be slightly puffed and golden, while the center remains a bit jiggly – it will firm up as it cools. If you’re unsure, you can use a toothpick or a knife to check – it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. 🕰️

6. Chill the cheesecake for several hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and the texture to set perfectly. For best results, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours. Overnight chilling is ideal for achieving that perfect, sliceable consistency. 🕰️❄️

Tips for the Perfect Cheesecake:

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients, especially the cream cheese and eggs, are at room temperature before blending. This helps in achieving a smoother batter without lumps.
• Blending Time: The seven minutes of blending is crucial. It not only ensures that all ingredients are well incorporated but also helps in creating a light and airy texture.
• Avoid Overbaking: The cheesecake will continue to cook as it cools. It’s better to take it out when the center is still a bit wobbly to prevent cracking.
• Water Bath Option: For an even smoother texture, you can bake the cheesecake in a water bath. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This method helps in gentle and even baking.
• Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with flavors. Add a touch of lemon zest for a citrusy twist, or swirl in some melted chocolate or fruit puree before baking for a marbled effect.

Serving Suggestions:

This cheesecake is incredibly versatile and can be served in numerous ways. Here are some ideas to elevate your cheesecake presentation:

• Fresh Berries: Top with a mix of fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a burst of color and freshness. 🍓🫐
• Fruit Compote: Serve with a warm fruit compote or sauce. A simple strawberry or blueberry compote works wonders and adds a tangy-sweet contrast to the rich cheesecake. 🍒🍯
• Whipped Cream: A dollop of freshly whipped cream on each slice adds a light, airy touch. You can also flavor the whipped cream with a hint of vanilla or almond extract. 🍦
• Chocolate Drizzle: Melt some dark or milk chocolate and drizzle it over the top for a decadent finish. You can also sprinkle some chocolate shavings or curls for added texture. 🍫
• Caramel Sauce: A drizzle of caramel sauce can add a sweet, buttery richness that pairs beautifully with the creamy cheesecake. 🍮

Storing Your Cheesecake:

If you have leftovers (which is rare because it’s so delicious!), here’s how to store them:

• Refrigerate: Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. Ensure it’s well covered to prevent it from absorbing other odors from the fridge.
• Freeze: For longer storage, you can freeze the cheesecake. Slice it into individual portions, wrap each slice in plastic wrap, and then in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped slices in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
