Bake cheesecake for 60-70 minutes. If it starts turning too brown, cover with foil.
Turn off oven, open the door a little, and let the cheesecake sit for another 10-15 minutes.
Take cheesecake out of oven and let cool.
Cover and store cheesecake in the fridge for up to a week.
Serve with a side of whipped cream or fresh berries.
I assuming you’re not pouring a quantum fluid into the cheesecake, so what the fuck is quark?
Fresh cheese, similar to skyr but much softer consistency wise.
Step 2: preheat Large Hadron Colider to 5,000 degrees
Soft cheese, close to a very thick yogurt.
Is that a brand name or the actual food? I gotta try it!
Quark is a uniquely German thing that I’m having trouble replicating ever since I moved abroad.
It’s extremely thick, much more solid than yoghurt, and completely unsweetened. Mixing a box of unflavored cream cheese with a shot of milk and a pinch of salt is what I’ve been using instead, which gets close enough.
It’s actually sold in many different other countries as well (such as The Nerherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, Poland, etc).
actual food.
It’s basically what you get when you stop cheesemaking after the very first step.
I don’t want to discourage you, but this is not how those are supposed to look.
The filling should be just a pale off-white: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f8/a3/3d/f8a33d37d549c22893f9958f381d1f3b.jpg
The one in your pic looks good but I bet the slight browing tastes amazing
Probably it was from my oven but as it is, it’s fine for me.
Am german, your cheesecake looks amazing! Would obliterate 10/10
Thank you!
Don’t believe that other commentator, the one my grandma makes is exactly like the one you made.
Only thing that I would change in your recipe is to add more lemon juice. Then it’s tastier for me. But you have to be careful not to make it too much.
I admit I thought the exact same thing. Needs more lemon.
Agreed, I’ve had lots of cheesecake like this, too. They’re not supposed to be pale. I mean OP’s oven seems to bake a bit uneven. The right side is a bit on the darker side. Still okay, but it won’t get better if you bake it longer than that.
Id eat it
There’s a basque cheesecake, tarta de queso, that is renowned for its dark top like yours. I hope the extra brown gave it the extra flavor!
That is the next in queue to make! Already have a recipe.
Never seen a cheese cake that pale, though, OP’s cake looks a bit dark maybe but still really good
Looks like a creme brulee on top. 🤤
We have a recipe in my country similar to creme brullee called leite creme. We have to try and make it someday and post the results.
Looks really good. Also try adding cherries or mandarin oranges, really compliments the flavour imo.
