I am here today to tell you about a much-loved dessert: cheesecake. This heavenly dish is loved by many but not always made right. I will teach you how to make authentic Italian cheesecake so that you can enjoy it without the guilt of eating something unhealthy.
What is the best type of cheese cake? Is it authentic Italian cheesecake? Maybe, but before you start making your own authentic Italian cheesecake recipe, there are some things you need to know. First of all, what ingredients do you need for original Italian cheesecake? We will get into that here soon. But first, we want to tell you about how this famous dessert came to be and where it originated from.
Cheesecake Ingredients
- 8-ounce cream cheese
- 16-ounce ricotta cheese
- 5 eggs
- lemon juice (Like quantity)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sour cream the softened butter
- Purpose flour (Like quantity)
- 1.5 cups sugar
- Salt (Like quantity)
Recipes Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl
- Add eggs one at a time. Mix it well.
- Mix the mixture with the pie crust, then bake it for 40 minutes.
- Allow cheesecake to cool before serving with whipped cream or ice cream on top.
*Tips: Make sure that all parts are at room temperature when mixing, so they combine effortlessly without turning into clumps. For best results, melt butter separately from cream cheese because their melting point is different and creaming them becomes more difficult.*
Tips and tricks
– In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients for authentic Italian cheesecake using an electric mixer until it is smooth and creamy with no lumps. If you have an ice cream machine, use that instead.
– Add a tablespoon of heavy cream and increase oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit if you want it to be more light, fluffy and airy. This is good for people who like to eat cheese cakes that are not too dense or heavy.
– Use different types of crusts such as graham crackers, chocolate cookie crumbs, almond meal, vanilla wafer cookies (use the same amount), orange zest which adds flavor like traditional cheesecake recipes from Italy do.
– Pour into crust or pan lined with parchment paper on bottom and sides so there are no gaps where cheese can seep out while baking in oven (do not grease). When you are baking, make 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until it becomes golden brown and set. Remove from heat immediately after removing the dish from oven; this will help prevent overcooking your perfect dessert because you know we don’t want anything burned! Once cooled, refrigerate overnight before serving if desired.*
Variations of the recipe
- Ricotta cheesecake
- Mascarpone cheesecake

*Tips: You can store this cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days but not longer because it will dry out after being stored there for so long.*
FAQs about the recipe
– Why does the cheesecake crack?
If your baking time is too long, it will lead to cracks in your cake. If you overcook it, it may cause a cracked surface on top of the cake. The temperature of ingredients can also affect the texture and consistency of cheesecakes; if not mixed sufficiently before being baked or cooked together with other ingredients for too long.
– What is the best cheesecake in the world?
You might think you know the best cheesecake in the world, but I dare you to try these recipes. You will never make another one of those plain old-fashioned ones again.
– What should I do before baking my Italian cheesecake?
The first thing you should do is make sure that the ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. Secondly, you need to grease your pan with butter and then coat it in a thin layer of flour combined with cornstarch or almond meal (this helps prevent sticking). Thirdly, when baking the cake, be careful not to overbake it as this will cause cracks on top and allow too much water into the cake, which will give it a soggy texture.
