Cheesecake Recipes and questions?

Auntie-Dolly

I always thought Ricotta was more like cottage cheese.

I've found some more cheesecake recipes that use marscapone so I'll prob just adapt one of those and it won't be a baked one.

Here is a recipe for a baked cheesecake using marscarpone - I don't see why you couldn't use it with a layer of raspberries on the base.
Is 7.30am too early for cheesecake, d'you think? :drool:

Sounds lovely. Ricotta is closer to cream cheese as it isn't as sweet as mascarpone.

I would personally be reluctant to change the recipe of a baked cheesecake - what if it doesn't set? I would use a different recipe.

I've now worked my way through all of the cheescake recipes in the Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days and every one has been a huge success.

They were:

Strawberries and Cream Cheesecake
Caramel, Chocolate and Toasted Hazelnut Cheesecake
Blood Orange Cheesecake
Summer Fruits Cheesecake
Chocolate and Lime Cheesecake
Spiders Web Cheesecake

They are all baked cheesecakes on a digestive biscuit base and have been so simple to make. They are quite easily adapted - I omitted the toasted hazelnuts from the caramel and chocolate one without any issue.

Happy to post the specific recipes if anyone wishes -just let me know which one.

When making a baked cheese cake I know ifoften change which cheese I use and I often use a combination of cheeses depending on my mood. I've never had a problem and I often receive requests for my cheese cake.

I use one or more of these:
Mascapone
philly
curd
ricotta

Hi Folks,

Newbie baker looking for some advice.

I'm going to make homemade cheesecake and wondering what the best type of cheese is to use. Some recipes say Philidelphia and some say Mascrapone, some even say both.

I would like a cheesecake that will slice on a plate and sit like a wedge of cheesecake untill its eaten. Probably going to start with vanilla or white chocoalte and put some strawberries on top.

Thanks,

Mark
