Cheesecake recipes with and without baking:

No baked, chocolate, raspberry, lime, lemon, etc. - Do you know what they all have in common? It's a crunchy shortbread base that no cheesecake can do without!

Of course, you can make a cheesecake without a base, but that's not the case anymore. For nothing beats the magical combination of a crispy base with a tender creamy filling... Therefore, we will take a closer look at different options for how you can make a cake for a cheesecake.

Cookie cheesecake crust

The fastest and easiest way to make a cheesecake base: take ready-made biscuits, grind it into crumbs, mix with butter and place on the bottom of the mold.

In the classic, Graham crackers are used for these purposes, if they are not available in the store, you can cook it yourself. Or just take another cookie. As an option, jubilee shortbread cookies or some other, which is your favorite - to your taste.

How to grind cookies into crumbs?

• The fastest and easiest option is to break into pieces and put them in a blender - he can handle them instantly;
• For those who do not have it, use a rolling pin, while it will be better to fold the cookies into a bag before chopping, this will be cleaner - you will not have to spend extra time cleaning;
• Or twist it through a meat grinder (in my opinion, not a very practical way: it takes a long time, and a meat grinder to wash ...);
• Alternatively, you can crush it with a crush in a mortar or large bowl;
• Well, the most extreme option is a meat hammer.

Next, you need to mix the resulting cookie crumbs with butter - you can take butter at room temperature, or you can pre-melt it in a water bath or in a microwave. In addition to butter, you can add sugar or powdered sugar (if your cookie is not very sweet).

Lyrical digression: do you know how to cut a finished cheesecake into perfectly even pieces? Use dental floss, if not available, regular floss will do. And if you wake up to cut it with a knife, then stock it up with a damp kitchen towel: wipe the knife with it after each cut. So the slices on top will be perfectly flat without any crumbs and curds of cheese.

Pour the prepared mass for the base of the cheesecake into a mold, distribute it evenly and tamp it with a glass with a flat bottom or a jar.

The cake can be made "flat", or with high sides. In the second option, simply increase the indicated amount of ingredients in the selected recipe.

As I said above, the biscuits for the base of the cheesecake can be anything. You can even take salted sticks (if you like them).

Or a sandwich Oreo cookies or something else. In this case, you have two options: first remove the filling from it, or leave it.

If you grind cookies into crumbs in a blender, its presence will not interfere with you, and moreover, it will probably even improve taste qualities finished cake.

In addition, you can use chocolate-covered cookies, especially when preparing cheesecakes such as "snickers" or "ferrero roche" and the like.

Add additionally hazelnuts and cocoa for the perfect cheesecake base in your pocket!

In general, do not be afraid to add various flavors and flavorings to cookies. Lemon peel.

Or even Apple juice or mashed potatoes.

By the way, the base of cookies can be made without oil, it can be replaced with milk, some kind of juice, or even just water. Truth ready-made cake will be softer and "juicier" than with butter, consider this if you like a "dry" crumbly base.

Do not forget about nuts.

Ginger will not be superfluous, especially in combination with the same nuts and orange peel.

Or like this original version with praline: a caramel chip in the base - it's ingenious!

For this recipe you will need:

• 100g sugar;
• 50 ml of water;
• almond;
• 300g cookies;
• 120g butter.

Cooking progress step by step in the photo and under the cut - video instruction.

Video instruction for preparing the base for cheesecake from 2:44 to 5:33:

You can also play with the texture by adding waffles or cornflakes to the cookies.

Or even take oatmeal, an option - for those who monitor calories, but are not on a diet. Please note: they are fried in a dry frying pan - as a result, we get almost granola (add nuts and honey and it will be the same).

Well, since I’ve already started talking about granola, I’m a little naughty and in the end I’ll give you the idea of ​​"no cookies" - the granola recipe itself. This "base" is very convenient to use when preparing portioned cheesecakes.

Cooking progress and necessary ingredients on the step by step photo instructions and a video recipe in addition.

No cookie cheesecake base

In the classics, cookies are used for the base, but this does not mean that you cannot experiment!

From nuts

So, for example in vegan cheesecake the base is made from nuts. And it’s very tasty, I think it’s even here, and there’s nothing to argue.

• You can take any nuts, or even 2-3 types;
• Additionally add: pitted dates and / or dried apricots, prunes, banana or applesauce;
• As a sweetener, honey or maple syrup fits perfectly into such a duo.

In the photos below, there are a few specific recipes that you will surely like.

From corn flakes

Cornflakes - many of us simply adore them since childhood. And that it is as convenient as cookies. But you shouldn't grind them into "flour". It is better to either slightly crumple, or even leave intact.

They can be paired with melted chocolate: black, milk, white - and tasty base ready for the cheesecake.

However, additional additives in the form of butter and sugar (if your cereal is not sweet enough) will not spoil it in any way - but this is a matter of everyone's taste.

In addition, one cannot fail to notice the rich selection of ready-made breakfasts. So to corn flakes you can also add crispy balls.

How to make cheesecake shortbread dough

Shortcrust pastry this is a separate topic for conversation and you cannot tell about it in a nutshell. Therefore, who is interested in all the subtleties and nuances of its preparation: welcome to the next article.

And here we will consider only a couple of recipes for shortbread cheesecake cakes.

With the addition of two yolks.

We look at the photo and video instructions.

And the second recipe is with one protein. Therefore, the recipe for the base of shortcrust pastry is prepared much faster. In the sense that they quickly mixed all the ingredients, rolled them into the oven.

Flour cheesecake crust

Here, too, I will give only a couple of options, since you can cook biscuit cake favorite recipe or brownie chocolate brownie, etc.

Now we will consider the "troublesome" version with the "streusel" confectionery crumb with the addition of almond flour and more quick option with chopped almonds. By idea, it is fashionable to say almond base for cheesecake.

Required Ingredients for Pastry Crumb:

• 75g wheat flour+ 75g almond flour

If almond flour is not available, you can replace it with regular flour.

• 75g sugar
• a pinch of salt
• 75g (freeze) + 25g butter
• 40 g chocolate

All the steps are prescribed in the photo instructions step by step.

In addition, beginners will benefit from a video instruction (from 3:17 to 5:55):

And the second recipe. Here, the almonds need to be chopped into small crumbs in a blender. Mix with melted butter, flour and sugar - knead the dough. Put it in a mold, prick it with a fork and send it to an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 15-20 minutes (depending on the power of your oven).

Dietary basis for cheesecake

To make a dietary base, you can use three ingredients: oatmeal / flour, chickpeas and how strange it sounds meringue.

Oatmeal (oat base for cheesecake)

The oat base for cheesecake, as I mentioned above, can be made either from oatmeal either from oat flour, but you can connect them together. In addition, as with cookies, you can add various flavors, even nuts.

Of course, depending on what you add to them, you can increase the number of calories. But the very fact of replacing shortbread cookies with oatmeal already reduces the calorie content, and then everyone will decide for himself which option is right for him.

First oatmeal cheesecake crust with muesli and butter. Those. just replaced the cookies with oatmeal. Butter, as with cookies, can be added either melted or at room temperature.

Instead of muesli with nuts, you can take pure nuts, and it would also be nice to add orange or lemon zest.

Coconut flakes are also a great addition to the oat base of cheesecake.

In addition, instead of butter, you can take vegetable oil (refined - odorless).

Well, who needs a base with a minimum amount of calories, a recipe with dried apricots or prunes is suitable. In principle, such a basis may not be subject to heat treatment(someone likes it raw), but you can not “bake” in the oven for a long time.

Instead of dried apricots, you can take dates. And if you really want to, add a little nuts - after all, this is a useful product.

Or a duet of oatmeal with chocolate pudding.

Oat base can be prepared with the addition of eggs in one form or another (whole egg, pure yolk or white). True, in this case, the cake will need to be baked.

Low calorie cheesecake base with whipped protein and water.

To improve the taste, you can add cocoa, some kind of sweetener and milk, because it does not contain so many calories. In addition, you can take low-calorie milk - everything is better than just water.

Video recipe for making such a cake + cheese filling from ricotta.

Alternatively, applesauce can be used to enhance the flavor.

The apple can be simply grated. Or pre-bake in the oven, and even faster take mashed potatoes for baby food... By the way, it is not only with apple flavor.

And of course, banana is a more nutritious alternative to apple.

Both banana and apple can be used in a no-bake recipe (no eggs).

From chickpea

Chickpeas are not a standard substitute for cookies in a cheesecake. And in general in desserts. But if you love it, be sure to try it in this form.

To cook chickpeas faster, soak it overnight, then it will cook in about an hour.

Grind the chickpeas, boiled until tender, in a blender and mix with honey or maple syrup.

Please note: when grinding, you can leave large pieces, or you can puree it to a perfectly homogeneous texture.

Such a base is also prepared as without baking (we boiled chickpeas, so you don't have to bake).

So it is with baked goods.

In addition, you can additionally add applesauce or banana.

From meringue

Well, the last option is a meringue. A very unusual and unconventional cheesecake base - why not?

Prepare meringues according to your favorite recipe, or buy ready-made meringues at the store. Just break them to the bottom of the mold and the original cheesecake crust is ready (and most importantly, it is low in calories). Pour in the meringue crumbs cheese cream with jelly and you have an amazing cheesecake. As for me, this is a very cool idea!

Any better ideas? - Share your options for cheesecake cakes in the comments.

And this is where I conclude a selection of options for how you can prepare a base for a cheesecake. Good luck with your experiments!

I haven't made cheesecakes before. I just met them in the pictures, admired and thought: someday I will cook such beauty and deliciousness!

And here, in the order table on the site, a reader Elena wrote to me with a request to cook a cheesecake. What an idea! Here is a reason to learn! Moreover, there is cottage cheese ...

I will warn you right away: this is not classic recipe... But such a simple cheesecake can be prepared by every housewife, even if in your city they have never heard of Philadelphia cheese and similar delicacies.

And it turned out to be VERY delicate and tasty, just melting in your mouth! Delicate, not very sweet curd and thin shortbread- a delightful combination! Great alternative equally tender and tasty lazy dumplings and casseroles, if you have already cooked them and are thinking about what else to build from cottage cheese.

So, our debut is homemade cheesecake with cottage cheese!

After looking at several different recipes, I learned the following:

1. Cheesecake is traditionally prepared with cream cheese. This is understandable, because "chiyiz" 🙂 means "cheese" in English, and cheesecake means " cheese pie"(cheese-cake"). But since you won't find "Philadelphia" in small towns with a lantern during the day, and if you do, it will cost like a downed plane ... you and I, dear readers, may well replace cream cheese with fat homemade cottage cheese. Of course, this is no longer a classic cheesecake, and perhaps true gourmets will say that it looks more like a casserole ... but still a very tasty variation on its theme.

2. The basis for the cheesecake is a shortbread cake. Not muffin dough or puff pastry or anything else. It seemed to me easier to make my own universal shortbread dough. But then I tried classic way simpler, and I liked it, both in ease of execution and in taste. You need to twist the cookies in a meat grinder, pour melted butter into the crumbs, mix, tamp on the bottom of the mold covered with parchment and refrigerate. You can take chocolate chip cookies or add cocoa to the crumb, it turns out very tasty!

3. Here is such a base - shortbread and cheese ( curd filling), but there are many delicious variations! I have not seen enough cheesecakes while collecting information. Blueberry, raspberry, generally berry; marble and chocolate, cherry and lemon! I wish I could try it all !!!

Ingredients:

Dough:

• an incomplete glass of flour (3/4 (three quarters) of a glass with a capacity of 250 g, you can add a spoon or two tablespoons if the dough seems to you not cool enough);
• half a packet of butter - 125 g;
• 1 tablespoon sugar

The dough can be replaced:

• 300-400 g cookies (like " Baked milk"or sand, which crumbles easily);
• 100 g butter.

Filling:

• 500 g fresh homemade cottage cheese(we buy in a trusted place);
• 2 eggs;
• 3 tablespoons of sugar;
• 125 g sour cream 20%.

How to bake:

We make the dough: cut the butter into pieces into flour, add sugar and knead with your hands into crumbs, and then knead until it sticks together into a lump.

We cover the bottom of the detachable form with confectionery parchment (as when baking a biscuit), I greased the sides vegetable oil and the paper itself, too, just in case ... so as not to tear it off later. We distribute the dough in the form of a cake with sides 2-3 cm high. I have a form with a diameter of 24 cm, the dough was enough end-to-end and the cake turned out to be thin. So if you have, take a smaller form 🙂

We bake our cake at about 200 C for 15 minutes, so that it is golden, but not completely baked yet. In the meantime, you can make the filling.

It is very desirable to wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve (colander). I don't really like to do this, but deliciousness requires sacrifices ... for the sake of cheesecake I rubbed the cottage cheese and was very happy with the result: the consistency of the filling turned out to be very pleasant and tender! See how fluffy the curd has become.

Add sugar, 1 egg and a little, 20 seconds, beat with a mixer.

Add the second egg and beat again.

Add sour cream and beat again.

The filling for the curd cheesecake is ready.

We take out the cake, plump the filling there.

Spread evenly with a spoon and set back.

A common tip: when baking cheesecake, put a bowl of water on the bottom of the oven. This is probably done to saturate the oven space with humid steam so that the cheesecake does not crack. This is how I bake butter yeast buns, they turn out to be very soft, and I did not put a bowl of water for the cheesecake.

My cheesecake was baked on a small flame, about 160C, for over an hour. Then, after 1 hour 10 minutes, when the middle had already grabbed well, she slightly increased the heat so that the top became golden. In total, the cheesecake was in the oven for over an hour and a half, but this is an individual indicator for each oven. There is no need to rush to bake it - it will simply crack on high heat and not bake.

Ready cheesecake for a while, 10-15 minutes, keep in open oven, then take out and let it cool in the form.

Carefully take out the cooled cake, opening the form, and transport it directly with paper to the dish. Then we carefully take out the paper.

They say that it should be infused for several hours in the refrigerator, but ... it's hard to resist! The cheesecake was tasted by the household while still warm ... and tasted so much that half of it was left. So I recommend it !! Have a nice tea and good luck cheesecakes!

And here are some more cheesecakes you can bake:

zebra cheesecake

Mocha Prunes Cheesecake. Cheesecake lovers, sweet tooth and just curious! Today I will show you an amazing dessert - delicate, chocolate, with a light coffee bitterness and a layer of prunes. Cheesecakes have been successfully frozen for a long time, they are perfectly stored in the freezer for up to six months. If you have ever tried to come visit with your own baked confectionery, you know how difficult it is to deliver it safe and sound. It is much easier to deliver frozen cheesecake to the address, moreover, it will defrost a little during the journey, and you just have to cut it into pieces. But if your plans do not include treating anyone with this delicacy and you cooked cheese only for yourself, then cut it into segments before freezing. And each tea party will be a holiday for you with a piece of the most delicate chocolate and coffee pleasure!

1. For the preparation of a classic cheesecake, cream cheese is used, for example, "Philadelphia": it is with it that the cheesecake acquires a creamy consistency. Cream cheese can be replaced with similar curd or. You can take cottage cheese as a basis, best of all - grated. This will simply make the cheesecake thicker.

2. All ingredients should be at room temperature. Lumps may appear due to temperature differences in food.

3. Beat the ingredients by hand or with a mixer on low speed, but very gently. If there is a lot of air in the filling, the cheesecake may crack when baked.

4. It is better to take a mold with a removable bottom. You can easily remove the cheesecake from it, especially if you grease the bottom and sides with butter.

5. The best way to bake the cheesecake is in a water bath. Steam makes the dessert more tender, smooth and airy. Wrap the bottom and sides of the mold tightly to prevent water from getting inside. Then place the dish on a fairly high baking sheet and fill it with water.

Frame: @ / / YouTube

6. Bake the dessert on the lower levels of the oven at a temperature of 160 ° C (maximum 180 ° C). This will prevent the cheesecake from cracking.

7. A sharp temperature drop after cooking can also lead to cracks in the filling. After turning off the oven, slightly open the door and leave the cheesecake inside for at least another half hour. Then let it cool down the same amount at room temperature.

8. Ready cheesecake must be chilled. It should stand in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or better - all night. This way the filling will surely grab and the dessert will not disintegrate when slicing.

9. A wet knife will help you cut the chilled cheesecake evenly.
