    RECIPE

    GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST
    ▪375g (3 8-packs) GRAHAM CRACKERS
    ▪110g or 1c walnuts, toasted
    ▪40g or 1/4c sugar
    ▪3g or 2/3tsp salt
    ▪30g or 1/4c flour
    ▪170g (1.5 sticks) butter, melted
    Add ingredients except for butter to a food processor and spin until broken down into a sandy texture. Drizzle in butter while spinning. When ready, it should be able to hold itself together when you squeeze it. If it’s still crumbly, spin in a bit more butter.
    Spread into a greased 9” springform pan by pressing 50-60% of the graham cracker mixture evenly against the sides. See video @2:10 for method. Add remaining crumbs into the pan and press into an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
    Par bake at 350F/175C for 10 minutes
    ---
    CHEESECAKE FILLING
    ▪900g/4 blocks cream cheese, room temperature
    ▪225g/8oz goat cheese, room temp
    ▪240g or 1c sugar
    ▪5g or 1tsp salt
    ▪30g or 1/4c corn starch
    ▪125g or 1/2c sour cream
    ▪Zest of 1 lemon
    ▪5g or 1tsp vanilla extract
    ▪5 whole large eggs + 2 yolks
    Mix cream cheese, goat cheese, sugar, salt, and corn starch using paddle attachment on medium speed, scraping sides of bowl after about 30 seconds. Mix for another minute or so until well combined. Add in sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla and continue to mix for another minute until combined. Scrape paddle and bowl well. With mixer on medium, add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing until just combined, scraping sides halfway through. Careful not to over mix/whip after the eggs are added.
    Pour mixture into fully cooled crust shell.
    Bake at 325F/160C for 60 minutes. At this point, the cheesecake should have risen and still be jiggly in the center. Turn off oven and allow to cool in the oven, door closed for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to come to room temperature. Tent with foil and refrigerate for at least 10 hours.
    ---
    CHERRY TOPPING
    ▪350g/12oz Frozen Dark Cherries (i’m using unsweetened frozen)
    ▪Pinch salt
    ▪150g or 2/3c sugar
    ▪1 lemon, zest and juice
    Add cherries, salt, sugar, zest and juice of lemon to a saute pan over high heat. Bring to a boil and allow mixture to cook down for 5-6 minutes until syrupy. When done, temp should be around 225F/105C. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.

      Actually, I've frequently made the custard for my creme brulee in a water bath...but I've never tried one in *the* bath. That's got to be worth a try. In the interests of science, you understand.

    That turned out beautifully.
    Looks delicious and decadent.
    For those worried about cracking, here's what you need to do to prevent it
    All ingredients should be at room temp when mixing.
    Adding 1 egg at a time and only mixing long enough to incorporate is key.
    Allow the batter the rest once poured into your crust for at least 3 minutes before baking.
    Do these things, and your cheesecakes will never crack. I've produced over 100k cheesecakes and not one has ever cracked. (Thank you Chef Bruno Albouze) Bon a petit!

      I’ve always done the sides first! It’s easier cause you focus on getting those even and then putting all the excess on the bottom versus putting on the bottom and struggling to get enough on the sides. Also, it’s a lot cleaner and easier process than bottom first, definitely try it next time, I’m sure you’ll love it!

    Hey Bri! One thing I learned noticed around 10:45 is your crust kinda developed a fault line due to the cake's shrinkage. One thing I learned is that after your initial super-slow cooldown in the oven, get in there with a very thin spatula or a knife, like the one you use at 10:48, and ever so gently go all the way around the springform and JUST release the crust from the pan walls. This release lets the rest of the crust get sucked in and shrink neatly with the rest of the cake. Just found better results in how the vertical crust holds together using this method to let it shrink and stay formed to the cake throughout the chilling process. Great recipe though! Learned a few new things from yours, as always. Cheers!

  • @jerzy2955

    Hey Bri, one pro tip for the parchment paper part - don't cut it to the exact size of the spring form, instead get the the bigger piece, place it on the bottom and then close the side part of the form with the excess paper out the form. This way you'll prevent the paper from moving while preparing the crust + you don't need to bother about the correct size :)
    BTW. thanks a lot for brilliant idea for upcoming weekend!

    I made this recipe yesterday! The only thing I would probably modify is the amount of lemon zest. In my opinion, the zest of the entire lemon really makes the flavor of lemon become the primary flavor of the dessert and more puts it into the territory of a lemon cheesecake. I'd cut it down to half a lemon's worth of zest if anyone is to make this for the first time. Or if you like the flavor of lemon, more power to you. Still a delicious cheesecake nonetheless and I plan to make this again someday.

    Brian deserves alot of credit because of the many "trial" versions he does first, I've seen other recipes where he also made it several times before showing us the best version. Unreal to do that amount of work not to mention the expense of the ingredients!

    Made this recipe. This was the best cheesecake I ever had. Mine cracked even though I followed the steps exactly. I think it's because my oven might retain heat more efficiently than others. After the 45 minutes the cheedecake was still very hot when it hit the counter top. So for others with such ovens I would recommend briefly opening the door a few times towards the end. Should help. 2ndly I highly recommend the fresh toasted walnuts! When I blended them with the graham crackers it smelled amazing and knew right away that it adds more than you would think. Last comment....this recipe is RICH. Be sure to cut into a min of 16 slices. Going to make this again for the holidays!

    I never put crust on the sides of cheesecakes. I don't make my crust with gramcrackers, I use Pecan Sandies and put them through the food processer. Much better flavor. I use the Sandies for any kind of pudding and un backed cream pies also.

    Until the eggs went in, take and spread that cheese mix on a toasted hot blueberry bagel. Or without the sugar, mix into riced potatoes with a handful of chives. You can't just show that kind of goody and move passed without a cursory hat tip towards it.

    I made this. It took a bit longer than an hour to set, I had to cook it for 1:15 and my top started browning (maybe I should move the rack down a bit next attempt). My crust also got a bit crumbly. I'm not sure if I should've added more butter, if I didn't blend/mix it well enough, etc. Overall a hell of a cheesecake for my first cheesecake attempt.

    For those who don't know: After baking, you only have to loosen the cake from the edge, e.g. with a plastic knife (so as not to damage the baking pan). After that, the cake has to cool down for about 30 minutes (even at room temperature is enough) and then you can remove the baking ring. No cracking cake anmore✌🏽

    Bri, Nice traditional cheesecake. I have been making cheesecake for about 20 years I do not use a springform pan, they leak. I do not use crackers, cookies or nuts as a crust. I don’t like the gritty texture against my lovely decadent cheese custard filling. My cheesecake is mainly about the filling it is 3-4 inches thick I find 3 days curing in the fridge optimum does it make it that long NO lol. I love love love your cherry sauce that is just the bees knees. I by and large love all your videos. You are spot on. I guess when it comes to cheesecake I am a rule breaker my former clients loved it (retired) and my friends and family love it. Keep up the great videos and show off your lovely wife more often😀

Perfection, smooth, creamy, not overly sweet (nice) and the lemon zest and sour cream add the perfect tang without overpowering the slight sweetness. I substituted the cherries with a fresh blueberry compote with lemon zest, lemon juice and a little powdered sugar. Again sweet/tart and the perfect compliment to this special dessert!!
