How to make Easy Cheesecake

Prepare the Cheesecake Batter

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, eggs, yogurts, and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous cream.

  2. Step 2

    Sift the flour beforehand, then gently fold it into the mixture using a rubber spatula with circular, enveloping motions. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Step 1

    Pour the cheesecake mixture into a tart pan that has been greased with butter and dusted with flour.

  2. Step 2

    Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 20 minutes or until the cream has set. Be careful not to let it brown or overcook, as this can make the cheesecake dry.

  3. Step 3

    To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, remove the cheesecake from the oven. Let it cool, then refrigerate for 4 hours.

Prepare the Jam Sauce

  1. Step 1

    In a small saucepan, combine the jam and water. Heat over very low heat, stirring until the jam dissolves into a smooth sauce.

Finish and Serve

  1. Step 1

    Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and carefully unmold it. Spread the jam sauce evenly over the surface of the cheesecake.

  2. Step 2

    Serve and enjoy this refreshing and easy cheesecake with your family or guests!
