Outstanding Recipe!!! Just made this almost exactly as the recipe states (no lemon zest in crust). By far the best cheesecake we have ever made! No sinking, creamy, rich, and dense the way a cheesecake should be. Also, nearly three inches thick! Will definitely be making this again!
i know this is 2 years old but this guy is THE best at going over recipes. He is patient, steady but gives all info. Excellent job Joseph, you would be great with your own show.
I've made cheesecake numerous times before and it's never occurred to me to invert the base of the springform pan for easier removal. Thanks very much for the baking tip Thomas.
Same! Although baking is not my strong suit but I have just started baking a week ago ( so far only three desert) and I was wondering why my cake came out broken from the bottom . Didn’t know I could do that!
This is one of the best tutorials on cheesecake I have seen on YT. Many thanks from a German baker who had problems getting her cheesecake out of the springform yesterday!
0:24 Crust 3:25 Spring form pan tips 5:38 Making the cheese cake filling 6:08 Use full fat cream cheese for decadence ♡ 7:00 Cream your ingredients together on medium for about 2- 3 mins being sure not to incorporate too much air 7:18 Slowly add the sugar so it gradually dissolves for a creamy batter. Take your time and let it mix for 2 to 3 mins until it's combined 7:48 ¾ teaspoon of salt brights out all the wonderful flavors 8:03 It's time to add the eggs. Beware, eggs are full of moisture, especially the egg white so you could end up with a watery or "broken" batter if you add them all at once. Take your time and add them one by one so they're fully incorporated. 8:38 A tbsp of lemon juice or customize this part to your taste. Slowly add it to the batter. It cuts through all of that sweetness and richness etc 9:18 Sour cream is next. Slowly add it in. Reducing the speed to low speed. Full fat sour cream. The sour adds a lightness. The sour cream's light acidity which helps to lighten the batter up a bit. It also helps with the texture so the cheesecake isn't going to be super dense. It's still going to be really rich and delicious but the sour cream helps to temper out the richness of the cream cheese. 10:00 1 tsp of really good quality vanilla extract. If you don't have vanilla extract you can use vanilla bean. Chef likes to use vanilla bean in custards etc 10:22 Chef Thomas takes the pod of vanilla bean and place it in sugar so by time he uses the sugar for another recipe it's already flavored without needed to add vanilla. 10:58 Sometimes with stand mixer bowls the very bottom of the mixture isn't mixed well so make sure to take your rubber spatula and scrape the sides and bottom to make sure it's all incorporated well. Your batter will be shiny and light. 11:23 People usually bake cheese cake in a water bath. Chef Thomas has a large roasting pan filled a ¾ with water. It should come half way up the side of the pan and to avoid the crust becoming soggy or waterlogged, wrap the sides of the pan with the foil to avoid this so that the foils creates and barrier and the water doesnt have access to the cake .The water bath is in a 325 oven heating up. Cook the cheese cake in a low slow oven with that water bath so that the filling is going to cook slowly and gently without puffing up and sinking back down. 13:18 Bake at 325 degrees for an 1 and 45 minutes to 2 hours 13:26 After the first 20 mins of initial cooling, run a cool paring knife along the sides of your cheese cake because while the cake is still warm, this helps to release it for easier removal. After that cool to room temperature and then it goes into the fridge for 6-8 hours until it's nice and cold. Loosely cover it with plastic wrap if you'd like. 14:07 If you're having an issue releasing the cake, you can take a torch or even a blow drying and run it along the sides of the pan to help the cheese cake to be released. If you do the tip with the paring knife it will help you much. 14:30 To cut, warm your knife with some water and wipe it clean and then warm the knife again and wipe it and then cut it again.
I chose this recipe for making my first ever cheesecake and it came out so well! Everyone including myself were so impressed with the height! The highlight of this recipe is the crust! Next time I think I’ll double the crust recipe so I have a larger crust ratio! I loved it so! Thank you!
I really appriciate him scraping the remaining butter, cracker, cream cheese of the plate. In most food shows, they just throw away the part remaining on the plate and it's really wasteful.
Yes this is one character i love abt Martha S. cooking show, scrap clean or at least be tidy. Nigella L. has quiet a bad habit to leave a lot of remaining without any effort spared to scrap at least 1-2% left. No, i don't buy such waste character makes your show/food looks appealing.
I made this late last night. I followed the recipe to the tee except I added about a cup of Pecans that I had from Whole Foods. I lightly toasted the pecans and ground them up before adding the Honey Graham Crackers. The foil around the split ring turned black but the cake was just fine. The taste was fantastic. I did butter the pan bottom and sides (as shown in Martha Stewart's video. I did not have to run a knife around the side... it automatically did it in the fridge. I baked the cake for 1 hour, 45 minutes and it had a slight golden brown color on top. I cut a small slice for myself (7 hours after after oven) and it was more than enough being very rich in taste. All my friend are coming over for a slice.
Made this last Christmas, it was my first homemade cheesecake, thanks to this recipe and Thomas’s step by step instructions it came out beautifully. My family’s requesting again this year, think I’ll make it a holiday tradition. You’re the best in your instructions, thank you!
I use the biscoff cookies & hear I thought I was the only one! LOL Thanks to Martha Bakes Apricot Cheesecake on PBS yrs. ago I press it with a measuring 1 cup size/ NO butter or any salt to pre-bake for 6-8mins at 350. Will try orange zest & (maybe kosher salt) in biscoff next time I make a cheesecake. Thanks! Put a dime in your bowl & find where there's a screw in the unit - turn screw clock wise like 1/4 turns each time) until (use the whisk because its slightly longer than the other paddles) moves the dime slightly around the bowl (I have Cuisinart & my "screw" to adjust paddles is behind the silver label of brand name - it pulls out of the front head of mixer) I ended up having to turn each 1/4th (starting from 12 o'clock position) until it was back where it started at 12 o'clock position for proper adjustment. If you do this the bottom ingredients gets really incorporated. Hope this helps someone watching. To avoid water log (always hit/miss with me w/ aluminum foil) I use a slightly bigger pan that will allow my cheesecake pan to sit in it w/ very little wiggle room then I put the whole thing in a roaster, set entire thing in oven (heat my water on stove in slim spouted teakettle) and pour hot H2O into roaster. No more hoping the wetness is there at all - Hallelujah! And safer than placing cheesecake pan into hot water pan already in oven.
I was very intimidated by the cheesecake. I made it once before and was disappointed. I always tried following reliable bakers and still no success. I’ve made this recipe twice by now with precision and I can’t believe how amazing it turned out🤩 it’s creamy, rich and delicious. I made one in a 9inch pan like he did and it got a bit golden on the top but not much. I wanted it completely white so i tried it a second time. 8inc springform pan, half the recipe, 1h in the oven at 325F and 35min inside the oven after i turned it off, BUT i also covered the top of the cake with aluminum foil to prevent the color. It worked out perfectly. I love this channel🤩
@s a mine were also 250gr so I just converted it and used what i needed for 9”, it is a lot of batter, maybe 5 could be too much. How did it turn out?😁
One suggestion. when you write your recipes by American measurements Please can also write down grams, liter and so on. Internationally this measurements every person use and understand
Its boring to convert, but its nice to do it so you dont messe up when doing the recipe. I know ita old school, but having a recipe notebook does wonders
i wish people would simply state ingredient ratios for everything. It is much easier to learn 5:3 when baking bread. Then one can simply add grams, pounds, or whatever you call your unit of measurement 500g of flour to 300g of water. then add 2% salt and 2% yeast
@@raymonddavis1370 Did you know the metric system is used all over the world? There is a reason why even american scientists use it. I suggest you inform yourself to realize that Gringoland is not the centre of the world, plus, is one of the few countries (along with Myanmar and Liberia) that still uses the imperial system, plus, it was just a SUGGESTION, bully.
Joseph. I made your scalloped potatoes on Thanksgiving and you earned my respect and that of the entire family. I cannot wait to add this cheesecake to our menu. Looking forward to more great recipes. Thank you for the attention to detail that you provide as it makes us all shine like pros. Appreciate all the help, esp in the kitchen 😉🙏
I made this last night and it was amazing. We didn't try it until this morning and it is the BEST cheesecake I've ever had. With every bite I kept saying holy cow, this is amazing. I made a half recipe and did a little juggling of ingredients but it came out creamy and light--not the really dense cheesecake we often see. The only thing missing is that the lemon isn't listed in the printed ingredients. Also, because I was using a much smaller springform pan, it only took about an hour to cook. I did make a couple of other adjustments. First, I can't tolerate wheat so I made a walnut crust, which was great. I also used Lakanto sugar and between using Lakanto and the walnut crust the cake is keto. Thanks for a fantastic recipe and instruction!
I tried this as Biskoff cookie crust and made a lime/blueberry cheesecake. I'm really excited to try it tomorrow after it has cooled down. Thanks for making this wonderful video!
I love your instructions! I've never been able to make cheese cake, but I'll try your recepe. I also love you using your rubber spatula. I always see cooks using different utensils and leaving heaps of food left on it and it really irks me, so much waste! You do it exactly like me, clean off every piece of whatever is left on the utensil. Thank you, I really enjoy your video!
That tip @3:50❤️ Amazing. I always served the cheesecake in the pan itself because I was unable to take it out. I am sure with an inverted pan I can demould the cake.
I made this last night, and wow. The only thing I changed is that I put lemon peel on the crust only and it was amaaaaaazing! I love that the crust is crumbly but not messy, and the overall cake is delicious
Love the tip to invert the base of the pan!! I’ve always had trouble getting the slices of cake out of the base! If I’ve learnt nothing else today…I’ve learnt something I will always be grateful for! Thank you for your clean, clear and well presented videos. God bless.
Thankyou for sharing. I love the way you make use of the spatula. It really is a great neccessity in every kitchen. No waisting of ingredients remaining in the measuring utensils etc. Great job.
I’m wondering what made my cheesecake mixture runny, more runny than the looks of yours. Could it be the brand of cream cheese? Without saying the brand, I used a quality name. Are you able to name the brand you used? Other than that, you are an amazing teacher.
@@lifeisbeautiful_nz I like how he explains everything in detail, and in a way that anybody can understand, and in a calm voice without "acting" or over reacting
Thomas, I wish I knew how to add a picture of my cheese cake; it was not only picture perfect to look at but it taste better than any store bought/restaurant cheese cake I have ever had. Thank you so much; you do a great job giving step by step directions. My husband also thanks you.🙏🏽💛
I really, really love your prevention of new York cheesecake, aside from your simple recipe, the way you talk,your tips, no mess on the table, wow so perfect nothing I should ask for. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward for exciting an worth watching videos. God bless my idol.
Hello Thomas Joseph. I must say that you are very thorough when explaining this recipe. This is the first time watching you. I feel as though I can make this cheese cake. I hope that you will show more if your recipes. I would like to see your tiramisu. Thank you Mr Thomas.
I feel a lot of joy, love and confidence making cheese cake using your recipe. Everyone from home to work were suprised. Everybody including me, loved it. Making one every other week now. :D
This was my very 1st attempt at a cheesecake and it was a huge success, thank you Chef Thomas! You totally rock ! I will be looking for more from you for my baking questions and new recipes.Keep it up! ~Mitzi
I love the way you explain things. And especially that you use the rubber spatula to get the ingredients out of the bowl, so many pour and leave too much in the bowl, it has to effect the outcome.
Oh my gosh! Thank you for this recipe! 🙏 I made mine this morning with this recipe & it turned out PERFECTLY. First time I've tried the water bath & let me tell you, what a difference! Probably the best cheesecake I've made EVER! 👌💯😁🍰
After looking at many cheesecake videos. This is the one for me. I have wanted to make a cheesecake, long time, lemon sold me as well, this video was very thorough which I appreciate as it will be my first attempt. I ordered a 9in circulon springform which I also researched, I like circulon I think this brand will be great had good reviews.
The cheesecake came out amazing! I've been making cheesecakes for years and I always thought you need to use either flour or corn starch. The next time I make it I will omit these..
Looks wonderful. My husband LOVES cheesecake. These recipe is pretty close to mine - I’m going to try this. What do you think about some ground almond in with the graham crackers? You know, I’ve had mediocre luck with the foil staying watertight. So I bought a silicon cake pan that is slightly larger than my springform pan. I place my cheesecake in that, then into the water. It’s so easy, and I can be confident that every time it will prevent water from entering my cheesecake. Hoorah! Someone who doesn’t say “tin foil”.
Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe with us. I tried it and can honestly say that it is better than any cheesecake I've ever had😋. Thank you...Thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I watched your video, got the recipe and directions and made this for Christmas Day pudding. It was absolutely delicious and came out the baking tin so easily following your hints. Everybody loved it and I served it with creme fraiche and fresh strawberries. Thank you.
Hi .. I love this video and the way you explain each step … the issue I had though is I don’t have one of those round spring form pans … only a 9x13 pan … so I think the only thing I need to change is the cook time . Maybe 40 minutes.. not if I really need a water bath for this type of pan either. Thank you so much for this video
I run my knife through flame on my gas stove to get it really warm and I do that with each cut, then wipe knife off after each cut. Makes the most beautiful slices and less messy than using water.
6 tablespoons of butter is hard to measure unless the butter is already melted. I always have to look up what that is in grams. I use my kitchen scales to measure everything in a recipe because it really saves so much time. Nice video. Thank you💕
In America most of our butter comes in wrapped sticks with tablespoon measurements on the wrapper. So if you only need 3 tablespoons on butter for something you can cut it right off the stick without having to measure it yourself. Its so handy!
@@publicbusride thanks for explaining that. Here in Australia we can only buy butter in 250 gram blocks which are marked with 50 gram intervals. The other problem is when they say you need 15 graham crackers. I haven’t seen those here so we normally substitute with digestive biscuits but again we need the weight in grams. Thank God for google.
Looks like it would be tough to transfer the whole cake to a serving platter. I wonder if a piece of round cut parchment would be a good option on the bottom before pressing in the crumbs?
nice trick. It was my job to make the cheesecake at a La restaurant back in the early 70s, we did not use water bath because it was ten at a time. fun though. Going to save this one.
Total disaster...the Alfoil leaked...big problem how to save the cake....covered Ed top with Alfoil and returned to oven of V low heat to dry out...never had such a problem... Next time I’m going to put the water bath on the shelf beneath to creat the steam/ moist atmosphere NO NEVER AGAIN...will I be putting the actual cake it in water....and I used 4 layers of foil !!!
Well done ! Brilliant tutorial 🎉 it answered questions I had about the equipment, the water bath , the paddle , and even the base of the springform pan ! Thank you ! Pat in RSA
Wow! That inverted base of springform pan is simple yet awesome technique. I am having a bit of a trouble removing my cheesecake from the base because of the lips so I'll definitely try this next time.

0:24 Crust
3:25 Spring form pan tips
5:38 Making the cheese cake filling
6:08 Use full fat cream cheese for decadence ♡
7:00 Cream your ingredients together on medium for about 2- 3 mins being sure not to incorporate too much air
7:18 Slowly add the sugar so it gradually dissolves for a creamy batter. Take your time and let it mix for 2 to 3 mins until it's combined

Thomas, I wish I knew how to add a picture of my cheese cake; it was not only picture perfect to look at but it taste better than any store bought/restaurant cheese cake I have ever had. Thank you so much; you do a great job giving step by step directions. My husband also thanks you.🙏🏽💛
I really, really love your prevention of new York cheesecake, aside from your simple recipe, the way you talk,your tips, no mess on the table, wow so perfect nothing I should ask for. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward for exciting an worth watching videos. God bless my idol.
I made this for Thanksgiving. Best cheesecake I've ever baked!
This cheese cake is fabulous. It takes a while to prepare but is absolutely worth it…. Thank you
Hello Thomas Joseph. I must say that you are very thorough when explaining this recipe. This is the first time watching you. I feel as though I can make this cheese cake. I hope that you will show more if your recipes. I would like to see your tiramisu. Thank you Mr Thomas.
My daughter loves CHEESECAKE she literally loves it so much that she wants it every day of her life so yeah she loves -CHEESECAKE !!
The most beautiful cheesecake I 've ever seen. And I loved all the explanation. It makes it very simple and easy to make.
Hello beautiful lady 🥰.. how are you doing today.?
I feel a lot of joy, love and confidence making cheese cake using your recipe. Everyone from home to work were suprised. Everybody including me, loved it. Making one every other week now. :D
I liked the way you explained everything so clearly. You made it very easy to follow and I want to try this recipe as soon as I get a roasting pan
This was my very 1st attempt at a cheesecake and it was a huge success, thank you Chef Thomas! You totally rock ! I will be looking for more from you for my baking questions and new recipes.Keep it up! ~Mitzi
Your teaching technique is superb, thank- you for sharing this beautiful cheesecake recipe, I will surely going to give it a go.
‘You can have a smaller slice’ he says 🤣 I love his videos!
IKR. He is delicious just as them desserts.
Nobody here is choosing to have a smaller slice. Let's be honest with ourselves.
OK!?!?! The words "as if" were the first thing that came to mind.
My thoughts exactly!
Lol
My exact thoughts. This thing will be devoured full fat and all 😂😍
Well I, for one, limit myself to several small slices. I’m good like that.
Making your cheese cake has given me so much dessert street cred!!! thank you!!!
I love the way you explain things. And especially that you use the rubber spatula to get the ingredients out of the bowl, so many pour and leave too much in the bowl, it has to effect the outcome.
I have a curved scraper that does a great job cleaning up the bowl.
I made it. Was great. No crack or bubbles.perfect.
Oh my gosh! Thank you for this recipe! 🙏 I made mine this morning with this recipe & it turned out PERFECTLY. First time I've tried the water bath & let me tell you, what a difference! Probably the best cheesecake I've made EVER! 👌💯😁🍰
Hello beautiful lady 🥰.. how are you doing today.?
Which cream cheese you used ?
@@iqraajavaid2247 Philadelphia brand, full fat cream cheese! ☺
Top cooking instructions and explanations for anyone to understand , good cheese cake , melts in one’s mouth🎉
After looking at many cheesecake videos. This is the one for me. I have wanted to make a cheesecake, long time, lemon sold me as well, this video was very thorough which I appreciate as it will be my first attempt. I ordered a 9in circulon springform which I also researched, I like circulon I think this brand will be great had good reviews.
I think ginger snaps would add such a nice flavor for the crust
Thomas, you are such a great teacher!! Thank you for your great videos!!
I love how you demonstrated this recipe. Nice, easy & beautiful steps.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The cheesecake came out amazing! I've been making cheesecakes for years and I always thought you need to use either flour or corn starch. The next time I make it I will omit these..
Far and away the best cheese cake I have ever made. It is PERFECT!!!
Looks wonderful. My husband LOVES cheesecake. These recipe is pretty close to mine - I’m going to try this. What do you think about some ground almond in with the graham crackers?
You know, I’ve had mediocre luck with the foil staying watertight. So I bought a silicon cake pan that is slightly larger than my springform pan. I place my cheesecake in that, then into the water. It’s so easy, and I can be confident that every time it will prevent water from entering my cheesecake.
Hoorah! Someone who doesn’t say “tin foil”.
I'm literally applauding @ 14:19👏👏👏👏👏!! Wonderful. Good tip about the hairdryer!
Thanks for the tips like the one about the table salt and how to put the cake pan correctly!!
Thanks. Great.
I personally put honey in the graham cracker base and and extra yolk in the cheese batter.
Your cheesecake looks very lovely and scrumptious! Thank you so much for the recipe and useful tips 🙏❤
Great info about placement of pan bottom!!!! Thank you!! 🤎 So much frustration solved!!💫
Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe with us. I tried it and can honestly say that it is better than any cheesecake I've ever had😋.
Thank you...Thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Beautiful cheesecake! It’s my favorite desserts! Thank you for the lesson of the great recipe.
I watched your video, got the recipe and directions and made this for Christmas Day pudding. It was absolutely delicious and came out the baking tin so easily following your hints. Everybody loved it and I served it with creme fraiche and fresh strawberries. Thank you.
I made it!!! ...with biscoff! I'll cut on Christmas day! Thanks for the confidence. Truly enjoy your presentations and advice.
Great tip about inverting the base! Definitely came in handy.
Great video! Thank you so much for all of the tips and tricks you shared!
Hi .. I love this video and the way you explain each step … the issue I had though is I don’t have one of those round spring form pans … only a 9x13 pan … so I think the only thing I need to change is the cook time . Maybe 40 minutes.. not if I really need a water bath for this type of pan either.
Thank you so much for this video
I don't think I'd be able to resist the temptation of cutting myself a larger slice though... it looks too good!
I run my knife through flame on my gas stove to get it really warm and I do that with each cut, then wipe knife off after each cut. Makes the most beautiful slices and less messy than using water.
6 tablespoons of butter is hard to measure unless the butter is already melted. I always have to look up what that is in grams. I use my kitchen scales to measure everything in a recipe because it really saves so much time. Nice video. Thank you💕
In America most of our butter comes in wrapped sticks with tablespoon measurements on the wrapper. So if you only need 3 tablespoons on butter for something you can cut it right off the stick without having to measure it yourself. Its so handy!
@@publicbusride thanks for explaining that. Here in Australia we can only buy butter in 250 gram blocks which are marked with 50 gram intervals. The other problem is when they say you need 15 graham crackers. I haven’t seen those here so we normally substitute with digestive biscuits but again we need the weight in grams. Thank God for google.
Very clean and interesting tips plus the cheese cake looking so tempting…surely going to try make one…
Looks like it would be tough to transfer the whole cake to a serving platter. I wonder if a piece of round cut parchment would be a good option on the bottom before pressing in the crumbs?
Made this a few days ago for our family Christmas lunch. It was a hit! Thank you 😊 wish you guys a happy and wonderful year of 2023 🎉.
That looks absolutely delicious !! Will make it soon.
nice trick. It was my job to make the cheesecake at a La restaurant back in the early 70s, we did not use water bath because it was ten at a time. fun though. Going to save this one.
If being a chef doesn’t work out for him anymore he could be a hand model because his hands are gorgeous 😍
He could be a model in general lol
Or a motivational speaker with his calm sweet face 😀
you are the best and the desserts you made look simply beautiful you are very artistic and your patient are deeply inspiring me
Thank you, that looks gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing. Clear and easy to follow explaination.
I will definitely make this recipe, I love cheesecake!
Thank you for your wonderful instructions Thomas Joseph 👏🏼❤
OMG, I made this cheesecake and it came out so perfect and delicious. Thank you for this recipe. God Bless and more power.
Try a crockpot liner/turkey bag to tie around the pan instead of foil,I’ve found foil can leak
Total disaster...the Alfoil leaked...big problem how to save the cake....covered Ed top with Alfoil and returned to oven of V low heat to dry out...never had such a problem...
Next time I’m going to put the water bath on the shelf beneath to creat the steam/ moist atmosphere NO NEVER AGAIN...will I be putting the actual cake it in water....and I used 4 layers of foil !!!
@@stephaniejayne5185 mine didn't leak but it sweated which caused wet crust. I think im going to do like you and put water seperate.
@@denisela3403 It was still good even though the base was soft. No- one knew or knocked it back !
Thank you for explaining the directions so clearly. After watching I thingvi now can tackle a cheese cake.
Why have I been so afraid to make this? Thank you for making this look so easy, trying this for the holidays!
I found all your videos are very informative. And you radiate calmness. Thank you!
"You can ALWAYS have a smaller slice." Hahaha!!! 😂😂😂 As if!!!
Duuuude. I’ve been making cheesecake for years and thought I had it…I learned like 7new things from you 👏👏👏👏
It looks so easy to do it! I’m definitely gonna try it 💪🏻
Well done ! Brilliant tutorial 🎉 it answered questions I had about the equipment, the water bath , the paddle , and even the base of the springform pan ! Thank you ! Pat in RSA
Wow! That inverted base of springform pan is simple yet awesome technique.
I am having a bit of a trouble removing my cheesecake from the base because of the lips so I'll definitely try this next time.
