- Claire Saffitz Makes Cheesecake | Dessert Person
Heading into spring and summer fruit season, for your consideration: a light, lemony, interesting-in-good-way cheesecake that pairs perfectly with any topping. The key ingredient is goat cheese, which adds a complex flavor, and the key technique is using less filling to keep a reasonable filling-to-crust ratio. Check out the episode and see Claire’s tricks for avoiding a soggy bottom and a cracked top!

Spring and summer fruit season is here. What fruit topping are you putting on your goat cheese cake this weekend? Let me know!
Eggs
more cheese
Mixed berry
Cherries 🍒❤️
maybe blueberries
This channel is basically the most successful book advertisement in the history of advertising
I mean I bought the book
@@treason6661 i'm a broke student. never baked. dont have an oven so probably cant make any of these. i still want to buy the book.
@@rahulmooley3298 I bake a lot, it's my stress relief, I've never bought a cookbook in my life because like dude, I have the internet, I have everything at my fingertips! I bought this book for myself from a gift card I got this weekend that was supposed to be a Christmas present because I felt I needed it in my life. I'm super fucking excited to read this cookbook cover the cover.
Right? I've watched like 2 videos and I ordered the book... i don't bake that much, but these videos just make me want to try out the recipes 😍
It's Claire though, she's proven cook book trustworthy
she gives realistic directions for every recipe and she cooks in a kitchen that makes you feel at home so her videos seem so heartfelt & warm❤️
Definitely. And that's why Food Network failed years ago. I don't want to see competitions and attention whore hosts. I want to find out how to do great things with ordinary ingredients and have it explained to me in a way I can successfully duplicate it.
@@500dollarjapanesetoaster8 omg why hasn’t a TV network picked her up yet? But at the same time it would ruin the homieness! 😂
@@bethyhernandez5486 the funny thing is that she said she did get offers from "traditional media" after she left BA, which she apparently decided not to accept. I think she feels best having full control over her content, which is one of the main reasons people often decide to have their own YT channel.
@@tati.l. Yeah and I am glad she chose the control route. It was fun seeing her recreate gourmet candy and stuff on BA, but you could tell it really got her stressed out.
i love the fact, that they are not editing the difficult parts out just to look "professional", and show all kinds of engineering and gymnastics you would use in real life
yeah, classic vinny move
eating cheese cake with a tiny spatula is just iconic on Claire level
She's eating cheesecake off of Count Spatula. Awesome.
The spatula is the perfect costar.
*laughing in European*
That's "Count Spatula" to you
It was her most used tool in her video about tools
OMG, that enjoyment graphic. 😂You should add one of those in every video, Claire makes the best faces.
Cheesecake enjoyment is how I always explain The Law of Diminishing Returns.
I've never seen someone portray how I feel about New York cheesecake so accurately before
@@somebarf Ditto!
Her baking on a small kitchen, similar to mine, truly inspires me to bake more. This is way more relatable than all those other videos in industrial kitchens or mcmansion kitchens.
This is lowkey disguised Babish slander which I refuse to let slide!
@@OriginalElysian if you feel attacked that's your fault 😝
My kitchen is bigger but has 4 doors, a window and an intruding chimney. I only have 2 upper and 2 lower cabinets but only have 4’ of counter space, mostly covered with a microwave and SO’s beloved toaster oven. Yes, I have about 8” total, but even that is minus the stuff he keeps in between. I do the minimum.
@@kathrynwitte3398 not sure if this would work in your space, but I moved my microwave to the top of my (not that big) fridge and it opened up a ton of space.
This isn't a small kitchen
the sad toss to the sink & “ we’ll get it later “ is the realest kitchen thing I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
Yes! I feel so vindicated! 😁
Me, when something is unfavorable: “I don’t like”
Claire, an intellectual: “I dis-prefer”
😂😂
Intellectuals tend not to use made-up words.
That's a Harvard degree privilege to use made up words.
@@tawpgk It's a real word. You could have just looked it up in 2 seconds and spared us having to read this half baked comment about privilege. It's not "privilege" to use words correctly.
@@CantankerousDave Disprefer is a real word. Google is free.
Claire plugging her Vanilla episode in every episode is my new favourite thing
I've never made cheesecake before, but my wife's birthday is coming up and she loves cheesecake, so I may have to try this recipe out. Wish me luck guys.
good luck, you got this!
Good luck! You're going to do great.
good luck! make sure your ingredients are room temp!! it's the most important thing
Good luck
I need an update
Vinny is taking some cues from marvel with all of these post credit scenes.
They give me Breaking Bad vibes, like we're seeing flash-forwards to when Claire has to hide from her enemies out in the country
It'll be really crazy once we see a sneak peek of a guest star in the end tag.
I really like how there is the Claire who wrote the book and very precisely tested all of these recipes with the pastry chef expertise. Then there is the Claire we all relate to that makes it work with what she has, not wanting to bust out the finicky equipment, and/or goes with what looks good in the grocery store instead of what is in the recipe.
YES! I have made this recipe 6 times since I got the book. When I saw the recipe used goat cheese, my favorite cheese, I immediately had to do it. THE BEST CHEESECAKE I HAVE EVER EATEN! I topped mine with blueberries and omg, SO GOOD! LOVE YOU CLAIRE!
Thank you so much for sharing, so glad you enjoyed it!
Just adding a "I Second that" to your comment! Hands down THE BEST! Funny thing is I didn't like cheesecake before this recipe! I had to make it when she describes perfectly the problem with traditional cheesecake! ❤😲ready for a bite
Great video, thank you!
I'm going to make this tomorrow. My thought "initially" was that it was too light on cheese, as most recipes call for 3-4 8 oz bricks of cream cheese, or 3 bricks of Philly with one 8 oz package of Goat cheese.
But I like what you've done.
Suggestion to the water issue: Put your 9 inch Springform pan into a Normal 10 inch pan, and then put that pan into the bath.
Alternatively, you can put your 9 inch pan on the middle rack and put a water pan on the bottom rack, as you still get the benefit of the steam.
Have a blessed year and keep up the wonderful work!
Liked/Subscribed.😮
I love Claire's efforts to reduce her single-use plastics. I also love that she acknowledges that sometimes it's hard not to because it's the best tool for the job or you are trying to jerry rig something. All we can do is our best and reduce as much as we can, when we can.
...as she heaves up a KILOMETRE roll of plastic wrap onto the counter.
claire suffering this whole video because of the mismatched springform pan is me at all times
Tip from a household who makes a TON of cheesecakes, the best way to keep your spring-form pan safe from water is to use a crockpot liner or oven bag. Both are oven safe and keep the water out 100%.
15:33 "I don't know, they're always like putting raspberries on stuff" cracked me up.
The joy I felt from the egg face is....immeasurable
Claire: "I like to crush the raspberries to release the..."
My brain: "...allicin."
It's like a two-part epoxy.
Don't top the cheesecake with garlic
@@Pirochiro Actually, garlic honey on a smoked cheesecake would be really good.
"The allicin is what's really really good for you. At least in my mind."
I love how Claire pretty much defined the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility with her explanation of how she likes the cheesecake less and less as she eats more. As an economics major, my little just sang. ❤❤❤
Since the hunger diminishes with each bite, the utility also goes down 😂
The Cottagecore Claire teasers are driving me wild. What is it!!! When is it coming!!! This channel really knows the content that will excite me.
My biggest hope it's that she's with Brad somewhere 😂
@@hannahcollins1816 No. Brad is so done. He stayed at that racist hell hole that will not be named.
@@KenS1267 Her brother-in-law, Nick is WAY better than Brad!
@@KenS1267 Brad's got a family to support, I'm not gonna begrudge him staying with the guaranteed paycheck. NYT and/or Babish should definitely try to grab him though.
@@greenyawgmoth Steady paycheck with racists is not an answer I'll accept. I mean really how is that ever an acceptable answer.
Add in the fact he could have gone to Babish or started his own channel and been making money on day one. Also who is the camera person for Claire? Vinnie. Unless Brad had some epic falling out with him he could have also hired him to do his camera work.
This showcases some of Claire's kitchen equipment MacGyver skills that we used to see on a certain other program but this is better because she's doing it entirely under her own power. All the ingenuity, all the adorable will-it-work suspense, none of the anything else.
Cheesecake - one of my favorite desserts ever! So happy to see this recipe on the channel!
Claire: "One of my worst ideas... truly
Also Claire: "I'm starting to think this may be something I want to do on all spring form pans... because look at how easy it is to lift out of here."
😂😂
I think the "worst idea" part referred to not using a properly fitting ring an base. But if she never did she would never have discovered the lifting capabilities of twine.
I love Claire and her recipes soooo much, I just bought her book for my friends birthday. She’s so excited and she showed it to her Mom now her Mom wants to make the recipes. They’re addicted too!!! Basically Claire is real no fluff, all substance, no flash, no fake. Someone everyone can relate to and she makes us believe we can do this.
The tension when Claire is putting the cheesecake in the water bath is unreal. Loved it tho
literally tomorrow is my birthday and i was trying to find a cheesecake recipe and she literally uploaded this 🥲thank you so much claire! the timing was perfect, i'll make this for me and my friends tomorrow 🥳🥳
Happy Birthday!
@@CSaffitz thank you claire! just tried the batter and it’s so good i’m v excited 🥰🥰
I'm laughing so hard over the egg being scared of being killed with the rolling pin. Cutest thing ever! Always here for the wholesomeness.
I've made this cheesecake a few times now, and it is by far the most delicious I've ever had! The goat cheese really pairs nicely, and it's pretty inexpensive at trader joes. I like to boil down some dark cherries for the topping, truly one of my new favorites to make!
I am currently studying for finals and Claire´s videos save my days. Thank you so much for making this hard time more enjoyable
Finally the number 1 recipe I care about the most. Thanks Claire! Love from Germany!
Just when I was literally watching cheesecake recipes for my friends birthday then Claire comes swooping in saving the day. Love from the Philippines! ❤️
I wonder just how many videos of the recipes we’re gonna get. Absolutely loving it
I just love Claire so much! I love that she uses the most basic tools in her videos so that everyone can make it, I love that she offers ways you can make the recipe your own and I just love her attitude and personality. 10/10 Claire, you're my dessert person
I just had to say it myself, she’s the BEST! I don’t mind watching the commercials because she deserves all the success and the ratio of great content to advertisement is skewed way toward quality content. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos, it’s really helped me be a better baker and makes me want to make more desserts from your cookbook with confidence.
2:25 the music choice here KILLED me
Not lying... im literally prepping my two tins to make cheesecake rn... this is freaky 🤣🤣
How did it turn out?
@@0000tiggy0000 good! Someone made an order from me for 6 cheesecakes so i just finished baking and will deliver them to the person soon lol 😂
Edit: no it’s not Claire’s recipe. I made the orders using mine
i’ve been watching claire for years and honestly i love these segments more than when she was working, these feel like i’m cooking with with a friend 💗 also she looks so much less stressed 🥺💗
This episode reminded me why I loved pastry chef tries: Claire’s ingenuity. It’s amazing entertainment. Claire I’m such a fan 💛
Finally someone who understands the importance of a thick crust!
I was so sad about the incident that shall not be named because I thought I was gonna miss gourmet makes so much, but it's actually just Claire that i missed. So I LOVE this channel. I would die for Claire from her home kitchen
I made this on Sunday. It was a birthday "cake" for my wife. It was my first time making a cheesecake and it was so go that I still can't believe I made it.
We don't care for goat cheese so I swapped out for 6.5oz of sour cream and 4oz mascarpone for the 10oz goat cheese. Just for others wanting to make this but not a fan of goat. I made a strawberry compote for hers, by request.
Anyway this recipe is awesome and I love it. Thanks Claire for this video and showing all the steps.
I didn't have figs on hand when I made this recipe so I went with mixed berries instead. It was so vibrant and eye catching and paired well with the creamy cheesecake. Love this video!
You really do share such great knowledge about food. You inspire me .Thank you Claire for all these recipes ❤️
OMG! Cheesecake!!! My grandmother used to make this for me all the time as a kid. LOVE IT!
I love watching your videos! So glad I found you again Claire, thank you for your knowledge and passion for baking/cooking. Have a great day.
*Note to self: When Claire says something tastes "interesting", that's her throwing shade.
**Also note to self: Start saying things are "interesting" when they suck.
I usually say something is interesting when I don't like it but my friends do and I have to be diplomatic lmao
@@AllegraVivace lol another note to self!
That's interesting... 😉
I just have to know if Clare's cat has ever ACTUALLY stuck its paw into her stand mixer or if this is just creative license.
Oh, you can bet they definitely indeed did stick their lil paw in there once or a dozen times 😄
I wonder if Felix is okay, I haven't seen him in the past few episodes! He's so cute with his lil moustache
I bake a lot more since you started this channel. Your kitchen is so similar to mine, you don't edit the difficult parts, you make everything seem achievable. So thank you
You know she's a good pastry chef because I don't even bake and I watch her. I just love her videos. Maybe someday all this knowledge she has imparted on me will be used in a manner in which she will be proud.
In spite of (or maybe because of) her vast culinary training and experience, Claire knows how to keep it real by working in a restrictive kitchen with equipment that isn’t perfect, and producing impeccable results that she downplays with self-deprecating humor. Brilliant formula that works because it’s genuine.
These videos make my Thursdays 10x better 😊🧡
"There's a lot of arguments for using this technique although I just... don't" lol this is very relatable
Lol very, very relatable. It's pretty much what I say about parbaking crust and using the water bath. People pay me to make cheesecakes for them, so I'm clearly not making bad ones.
That little added face on the egg when Claire was beating the cookies was so cute!
I love seeing Claire in NYT Cooking channel too
I know I definitely don't enjoy goat cheese in any form so I appreciate Claire making the comment that you should probably like goat cheese to dig the flavor of this cheesecake. Saves me from a time consuming mistake!
Her intro was so relatable and I wasnt expecting it to be 😂 I LOVE clumpy, hard, NY style cheesecake. I've never been a fan of the softer, light cheesecake. What she said though was exactly what I feel when eating all cheesecake. The first bit is heaven, then it gradually gets less and less yummy and by the end I feel kinda sick 😂🤣 Like I said, I'm not usually a fan of softer styles of cheesecake, but I'm willing to try this one just because Claire said it stays yummy for longer 💁♀️🤷♀️🤣
I know this is 8 months later, but I only discovered your videos about a month ago. I’ve seen quite a few at this point and you’re now my favorite cheffy person because of the awesome practical advice I’ve picked up from your videos. I’m super excited to try this one… I went through a cheesecake learning phase late last year which ended in frustration. These handy tips give me confidence to try again! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
OMGOSH! I can’t take it anymore and have to go out and find your books!! These videos are amazing and I absolutely LOVE how ‘real’ you are.
The transition music between scenes is perhaps the best thing I have ever witnessed in any youtube video. I can't stop laughing!
did we just see a little peek of G*URMET MAKES!Claire when she did that little springform-plastic-foil-twine contraption??? i love claire and her weird little kitchen thingamajigs!! and i also think cheesecake serves diminishing returns
Dear Claire,
Thank you for existing, everytime I go through your content it inspires me to keep going no matter even when we come across hurdles.
Can't wait to try this, looks amazing! Also, love the cat-eye makeup ;)
The Claire diagram in the beginning is so pure
At 3:03 the egg face... classic, editor. I see you. Classic
These videos have literally made me try so many of the recipes from your book! It get me so excited to see if I would actually like them! Otherwise, I would've only tried to make a few recipes that peaked my interest! Keep making these! They're great and informative! I love all the little tips you sprinkle throughout them too! (:
You videos not only contain amazing information, but the description and layout is 10/10
Yum! I may just switch plans and make this for my daughter's birthday this weekend. She loves cheesecake with berries!
11:41 - the biggest difference between this and Bon Appetit - when Claire says to cut this part out, they actually cut it out
That cheesecake looks beautiful with the vibrant raspberries on top. Also that X/Y axis at the start is *chef's kiss*.
This whole series is amazing, a genius idea to have Claire make all her recipes from her book
"Goat should have def been in the title because it's super unique. I can't wait to try this!!
I noticed the egg with expressions during the cracker-breaking part! Its like where's waldo! :P
love the final shots
this looks SO good and I'm so fasciated by the goat cheese aspect
Claire forgot to say that Count Spatula can be used as an eating utensil in her must haves video! Loll I love cheesecake and love Claire so this has got to be one of my favs ❤️ 🇹🇹
Claire: struggles to balance pan to get into oven
also Claire: eats tiny slice of cheesecake on an offset spatula without hesitation
How did i not find this channel til now. So much to catch up on! Love it
I did this yesterday with blueberries and blackberries instead of raspberries and it came out beautifully. It's delicious. I never thought I could manage to do cheesecake - thank you!
its 9 am and now i want cheesecake thanks claire💕
Sounds like a perfect time for cheesecake :D Allready night time here so I will have to wait until tomorrow to make mine.
11:40 "you seriously don't have to film this"
me: wow look at them actually respecting when claire says not to film her
also me: okay but i wanna see
Thank you, Claire, for saving my Thursday!!! After long, difficult working day full of meetings I can sit and relax
I am definitely making this!! Love how informative all your videos are 😊
That improvising with weird stuff really brings back memories.
I need to see claires earring collection. She always has the most interesting earrings.
she also has an impressive clog collection, I wouldn't mind seeing either of those!
I just made this for a New Year’s party. Don’t get to taste it first but I’m not even nervous because I fully trust Claire. 🥰
im rewatching cuz claire’s vibe is just✨✨❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy that she eats the cheesecake with her offset spatula.
Ahem, that’s Count Spatula
I love how Claire keep pointing to the corner when she talks about the "vanilla episode"... but the editor didn't put the link there hahaha
You make everything seem SO EASY!!! I wanna try every single recipe damn!
Can't wait to try this goat cheese version (my go-to is Tyler Florence's ultimate cheesecake). The water seepage (usually from condensation inside the foil barrier) is why I bake cheesecakes in pyrex dishes that I can just serve from.
I see cheesecake, I click. Now I'm on my way to get some ingredients 🙈
“I’ll get that later...” Cats: “We’ll take care of that for you.....!”
I don't even cook, but here I am watching this as soon as it is available. I love Claire so much, thank you for these!
Claire, I would love to see a video or list of all your favorite kitchen tools :) that lemon juicer was so cool!
Just Claire being chaotically perfect.
Also New York cheesecake is the only cheesecake
Dreaming of this with lightly poached pears and a drizzle of honey to top...
I've been making raspberry cheesecake for ages and it's such a good topping. I usually cook down some of the raspberries with a bit of sugar and arrowroot to make a sort of soft gel, and save the prettiest raspberries to leave raw right on top
In a world of chaos, these videos make me feel so calm. Thank you, Claire.
