How much do you love Cheesecake? And which is your favorite cheesecake?

I am a huge fan of cheesecakes and in my slimmer days (wink ..) I would often trade lunch for a slice of cheesecake. All my friends knew I love cheesecakes so often they’d use it to lure me into favors such as cooking them lunch.

The BEST Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe with Strawberry Compote

You know when you far from home and have no mom to cook you awesome meals?
I lived in Singapore at the time and we’d be a bunch of us working away from home. So food was usually not home cooked but canteen stuff, food court stuff.
Once in a while we’d get together to cook something up. I was usually the appointed chef, my flat mate was usually the dishwasher, another would be the Su Chef cutting and chopping, one would take care of wine, and the other would buy the dessert. So dessert would be cheesecakes cause of me.. Oh happy days..!!

Well, now usually the kids get what they decide for dessert. If I get Ziv to choose he goes for anything Chocolate. So I try my best to balance out and make sure we all take turns to choose. Rhea however loves this strawberry cheesecake strawberry compote but Aadi loves the Strawberry Jello Cheesecake more.

Before I give you the recipe for this cheesecakes here’s a few tips on getting your cheesecake right.

  1. Always have your ingredients at room temperature. If necessary delay it by a few minutes just so they thaw.
  2. Use good quality cream cheese like Mascarpone or Philadelphia as they are thicker in consistency as compared to low fat cream cheese which can effect consistency of your baked batter.
  3. you can thaw cream cheese in the microwave at 50% power for 10 secs at a time. Do not melt it as it does alter the taste
  4. Place eggs in warm water to thaw – room temperature eggs mix well in the cheese batter and works best for consistency
  5. Never over mix a cheesecake batter at this will incorporate air and lead to cracking.
  6. Not all cheesecakes need to be baked in a water bath but since cheese is so delicate a water bath helps it bake gently leaving that custard like creaminess.
