New York Style Cheesecake Mousse Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until fluffy. Fold in whipped cream. Divide among 12 dessert dishes. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours., Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°. Combine cracker crumbs and sugar in a small bowl; add butter and mix well. Press to a 1/4-in. thickness on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool completely. , Just before serving, crumble graham cracker mixture; sprinkle over mousse. Top with strawberries if desired.

Steps:

• Beat together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar, in a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add in the sour cream, vanilla bean seeds and a pinch of salt and beat on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes.
• Dissolve 1 teaspoon gelatin in 1 tablespoon hot water and beat into the cream cheese mixture.
• Mix the crushed graham crackers, butter and granulated sugar in a small bowl until moist.
• Spoon the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of four 6-ounce glass mason jars (don't press it down). Top with 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture, then 2 tablespoons of jam, spreading it all the way to the side of the jar, then another 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Garnish with fresh berries and mint.

Steps:

• For the crust: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium bowl until evenly moistened.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Cool completely on a rack. Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the pan with foil and place in a roasting pan.
• For the filling: Add the cream cheese to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy. Gradually add the cream, beating until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt and beat just until combined, taking care not to over whip. Pour into the crust.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven (don't pull the rack out of the oven). Pour enough hot water in the roasting pan to come about halfway up the side of the foil-wrapped springform pan.
• Bake until the top of the cheesecake is lightly browned around the edges, but the center still jiggles slightly, about 2 hours.
• Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a rack. Run a knife around the edges and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• Bring the cheesecake to room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. Dip a knife in warm water and wipe dry before slicing each piece.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture into the bottom and about 1/2-inch up the sides of the springform pan.
• Whisk flour, sour cream, and vanilla extract in bowl. Set aside.
• Stir cream cheese and sugar with a wooden spoon in a large bowl until evenly incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour milk into cream cheese mixture and whisk until just combined.
• Whisk in eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
• Stir in lemon zest, orange zest, and sour cream mixture; whisk until just incorporated.
• Pour mixture into prepared springform pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges have nicely puffed and the surface of the cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour.
• When the cheesecake is done, turn off the oven and let it cool in the oven for 3 to 4 hours. This prevents any cracks from forming on the top of the cheesecake.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fill a large, round, disposable aluminum pan with about 1/2 inch of water to create a water bath.
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter for crust in a bowl. Mix until well combined and spread evenly in a 9-inch springform pan. Press down firmly on crumbs with a small, flat-bottom bowl or glass, all over the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until set, about 10 minutes. Remove crust and set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, mix cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating batter briefly after each addition. Continue to add ingredients, one at a time, beating after each addition until blended, in this order: sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and flour. Pour cheesecake batter onto the crust and place carefully into the prepared water bath. The water level should be about 3/4 of the height of the springform pan; adjust as necessary.
• Bake cheesecake until the sides appear solid and the center appears just undercooked, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Turn the oven off, but do not open the oven door. Let the cheesecake cool in the water bath for 3 to 4 hours; the center will continue to cook slowly.
• Open the oven door slightly and keep the cheesecake inside for 1 more hour. Remove from the oven and transfer the cheesecake from the water bath to a wire rack. Cool for 1 hour, then place in the refrigerator until firm and fully chilled, at least 6 hours.
• Run a thin metal knife along the sides of the springform pan, then unlock the pan and slip the side section up and over the cheesecake. Run a knife under hot water, dry it quickly, then slide it from left to right between the bottom of the pan and the bottom of the cake. Slide the cake to a cake liner or platter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar together. Press mixture onto the bottom of one 9 or 10 inch springform pan. Place in freezer for 10 minutes.
• Cream 3/4 cup of the sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and cornstarch until just mixed. Stir in sour cream on low speed or with spatula until blended. (I prefer using low speed but do not go over 2 minutes) Poor into the prepared crust.
• Place in oven and Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, turn down the oven to 200 degrees for 45 minutes.
• After baking for 45 minutes turn the oven off. DO NOT OPEN OVEN door until the oven has completely cooled. This will take about three hours though I like to bake this at night then turn the oven off when I go to bed.
• After oven has cooled completely refrigerate for at least an hour and serve with or without your favorite topping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add one of the eggs; beat well. Slowly beat in 1 1/4 cups flour. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill one portion.
• Spread remaining portion of dough onto bottom of 10 - inch spring form pan with side removed. Place pan bottom on baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes; cool. Attach side of pan. Press chilled dough about 1 3/4 inches up side of pan.
• Increase oven temperature to 450°F In bowl, combine cream cheese and 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar; beat until fluffy. Beat in 1/4 cup flour until smooth. Add remaining eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of the sour cream. Pour into pan. Place in shallow baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300°F Bake for about 30 minutes or until center appears nearly set when gently shaken. Remove from oven. In small bowl, combine remaining sour cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; spread over cheesecake. Bake for 15 minutes more.
• Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes. Loosen crust; cool for 30 minutes. Remove side of pan; cool cheesecake. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
