Today, cheesecake with cookies is prepared in various variations. Nevertheless, the basis, as before, remains cottage cheese (soft cheeses) and cookies. And then there’s a flight of fancy and a desire to experiment.

In the article, we will consider how to properly cook cheesecake with cookies, which products are better to use, where the dish appeared.

A bit of history

It is believed that cheesecake came to us from the United States. In fact, this is far from the case. Cheesecake has existed for over several hundred years. And this is longer than the existence of the United States.

Dessert invented in ancient Greece in the 5th century BC.

Cake with cottage cheese was served to athletes at the Olympic Games. He was quite high in calories. Helps maintain the athlete’s physical strength.

To prepare the perfect biscuit cheesecake, you need to follow a few tips from famous chefs, which we will discuss below.

Types of Cheesecake

There are two main recipes for making a delicious cottage cheese dessert:

1. Hot. The basis for such a dessert is prepared from shortcrust pastry or grated cookies with butter, baked in the oven or in a water bath.
2. Cold. A cheesecake is prepared without baking. To do this, the filling is brought to a creamy state with the addition of gelatin, which helps to keep the shape of the dessert.

Tips

1. Before you start making cheesecake from cookies and cottage cheese, you should choose the right baking dish. All because the dessert consists of several layers, which are different in consistency. During baking, one layer can bake well, while the other remains moist. It is also quite difficult to get out of shape. The ideal form for a biscuit cheesecake is a detachable round shape. This ensures that you can get the cake without damaging it. The whole form can also be, but the risk that the dessert will fall apart is great, which will nullify all your efforts.
2. For baking products, parchment paper is best suited, since greasy shortcrust pastry is the least loose on it. Spread a sheet of paper on a flat surface, put on top the form in which you will bake the cake, circle the outline with a pencil with a grip of 2 centimeters. Then, after every 3 centimeters, make an incision from the edge of the paper to the outline line. So the paper will ideally lie in shape, and excess will allow you to cover part of the sides.
3. The secret of the perfect cheesecake from cookies and cottage cheese at its core. The classic version is sand cake, not puff or muffin, as many believe. Often, shortbread crumbs are crumbled from ready-made cookies. Spekolos is best suited from Belgium or the Netherlands. But if you can’t find it on the shelves of our stores, replace it with "Jubilee" or bake it yourself from butter and whole grain wheat flour. According to the first option, it is enough to grind cookies with a blender. After mixing it with melted butter, press firmly on the bottom of the mold. In the second version of the preparation of cheesecake from cookies, the base will have to be pre-baked.
4. It is important to use the right cheese for the filling or cottage cheese. The ideal filling for a simple cheesecake is Philadelphia cheese. It is quite oily and is not made from milk, but from cream. For cooking, you need to use cheese at room temperature, otherwise it may curl during baking. Another important nuance is whipping cheese. First, it must be brought to a creamy mass, and then beat at a shallow speed, gradually introducing the remaining ingredients. If you decide to use cottage cheese, it is better to take a home-made product or premium. Grind it during cooking until you get rid of all the lumps.
5. To avoid cracks in the base of the dough, it is better to beat at a low speed mixer. You can do this with a hand whisk. When beating at high speed, a large amount of oxygen enters the dough, which is the key to cracking. This will not affect the taste, but the appearance of the cake will spoil.
6. Cheesecake is a delicate dessert and requires a special attitude. Bake it at a low temperature. Often, due to various factors, it either does not reach readiness or burns. To avoid this, it is better to bake it in a water bath. This means that the cheesecake in the mold should be surrounded by water. This is easy enough to do. It is necessary to put the form in a pan, pour boiling water a little more than until the middle. It is important that water does not flow through the edges of the mold. It is advisable to choose a container in which its edges from the product will be at a distance of 5 centimeters across the entire diameter.
7. In the process of making a cheesecake, its shape increases several times. to preserve it, it is important to cool the product correctly. To do this, do not remove it immediately from the oven after cooking. Let stand for at least half an hour. Then open the oven, but don’t get the cake, let it stand for about 10 minutes. Next, remove, leave to stand at room temperature for another half hour. And only then send 3 hours to the refrigerator.
