Classic cheesecake with mascarpone

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   So we take shortbread cookies and butter.

2. Step 2:

   

   Grind cookies in a blender.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix the cookies with soft butter. We take the form, cover it with paper. we spread the cookies on the bottom and on the sides. I have a 24cm shape, but it's better to take 26-28cm. because the filling did not enter all of me. Let's put the billet in the refrigerator for now.

4. Step 4:

   

   And let's do the stuffing. We will prepare the products.Instead of mascarpone, you can take Philadelphia or Almette, well, or cottage cheese. Divide the eggs into yolks and whites. Whisk the whites into a fluffy foam.

6. Step 5:

   

   Mascarpone whisk with a mixer with sour cream and add all other products. Lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, egg yolks, starch. We mix everything at low speeds of the mixer. It is impossible to interfere much for a long time, otherwise a lot of bubbles will form.

7. Step 6:

   

   Mix the whipped whites gently with a spatula.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour our mass on cookies. Put in the oven preheated to 150 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Sometimes cheesecakes are cooked in a water bath. To do this, wrap the mold with foil and put it in another large mold, where hot water is poured to the middle of the mold. Then bake for 15 minutes at 200g, then another hour at 110g.

9. Step 8:

   

   The finished cheesecake should sway slightly in the middle, but not much.Turn off the oven, open the door and leave it for an hour. The cooled cheesecake is put in the refrigerator overnight. The middle will go down, it's not scary. Ready sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy your meal.
