Classic cheesecake with mascarpone

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   So we take shortbread cookies and butter.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grind the cookies in a blender.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix cookies with soft butter. Take a form and cover it with paper. Place cookies on the bottom and sides. My uniform is 24cm, but it’s better to take 26-28cm. because I didn’t get all the filling in. Let's put the preparation in the refrigerator for now.

4. STEP 4

   

   And let's start with the filling. Let's prepare the products. Instead of mascarpone, you can take Philadelphia or Almette, or cottage cheese. Divide the eggs into yolks and whites. Beat the whites into a fluffy foam.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat the mascarpone with a mixer with sour cream and add all the other products. Lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, yolks, starch. Mix everything at low speed with a mixer. Do not stir for too long, otherwise a lot of bubbles will form.

6. STEP 6

   

   Gently fold in the whipped whites with a spatula.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour our mixture onto the cookies. Place in the oven preheated to 150 degrees for 1 hour 20 minutes. Sometimes cheesecakes are cooked in a water bath. To do this, wrap the mold in foil and place it in another large mold, where hot water is poured to the middle of the mold. Then bake for 15 minutes at 200 degrees, then another hour at 110 degrees.

8. STEP 8

   

   The finished cheesecake should sway slightly in the middle, but not much. Turn off the oven, open the door and leave it like that for an hour. Place the cooled cheesecake in the refrigerator overnight. The middle will go down, it's not scary. Sprinkle the finished dish with powdered sugar. Bon appetit.
