Cheese cake is one of those deserts that doesn’t need a big introduction. So let’s just get busy.
This is a spring form pan I picked up at Walmart. While I was there, I bought a pre made graham cracker crust. What you see here is a piece of parchment paper pressed in to my spring form pan and that graham cracker crust pressed into the bottom of the pan. Preheat your oven to 400.
The cheese cake batter goes in two parts. For the first part we use a mixer with whisk attachment for our three 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese and one 15 ounce container of ricotta cheese. Both of these items need to be to room temp. To these cheeses we add 1/3 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp baking powder and whip until fluffy and smooth.
Now we add the second part in. 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 3 eggs, blend until fluffy and smooth. Start the mixer on a low speed so you don’t slosh it all out.
Pour into your prepared baking dish and place in preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Allow your cheesecake to cool to room temp and then place in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or until set in the middle.
To remove the cheesecake from the pan just unlock the side and lift it off. Peel the parchment paper back to reveal the cheesecake.
Once this is set and ready you can dress it up with blueberry pie filling or cherry. Fresh strawberries would also be wonderful but you can always just eat it all by it’s beautiful self.

Thx. When I make cheesecake I put a pan of water on the lower rack. When cake is done I open the oven door and stick a dish towel to leave door open for about an hour so cake cools slowly. Helps with no cracks happening. Going to store now for my missing ingredients! Happy Saturday.
Miss Bena,
Can’t wait to make this !
Btw… Can you adopt me? Lol
Haven’t had cheesecake in a long time. Thanks for making me hungry. ( seriously) I have been binge watching your recipes on Youtube . My daughter wanted to make a quick cheesecake & since we all love to bake, I think this will fit the bill just perfectly.

I absolutely love cheesecake,it is my one and only favorite dessert ❤️
My family refer to this as an Italian Cheesecake because of the ricotta cheese. we also add orange peel. This looks terrific!
This looks wonderful and will definitely make. Why is the parchment paper?
It helps lift it out and it’s an insurance policy that nothing leaks out the bottom of the spring form pan. I have rotten luck with spring form pans!
