How to make cream cheese cake? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Step 2
How to make a base for homemade cheese cake? Break the cookies into pieces and place in a blender bowl. Next, pour in the melted butter. For this, take biscuit or sugar cookies, I have sugar cookies. Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave.

Step 3

Step 3
Beat the mixture until it becomes a wet crumb. You can do everything by hand. Crush the cookies or put them in a bag and roll them over with a rolling pin. Then pour in the oil and mix everything with your hands. I always use a blender to prepare crumbs — everything is done quickly in it, and the crumbs are more uniform.

Step 4

Step 4
Take a baking dish (Ø 16 cm) and line it with foil. Pour the cookie crumbs into the pan and spread along the bottom and sides of the pan, forming sides about 2 cm high. Place the mold in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 5

Step 5
How to make cream cheese filling? Take cream cheese. I use unflavored cream cheese. You can choose any soft creamy curd cheese. In order not to make a mistake with your choice, I advise you to read articles about replacing various cheeses and about cream cheeses (links are in the description under the steps). Choose cream with a high fat content, from 33-35%. Whether the cream will turn out will depend on this.

Place the gelatin in a bowl or other convenient container, add water and leave to swell for 10 minutes. Then heat the gelatin on the stove or in the microwave until the granules are completely dissolved.

Step 7
In a deep bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Take the vanillin at the tip of a knife, as a larger amount will add bitterness to the finished dish.
