Best Classic Baked Cheesecake Recipe

    Baked Cheesecake RecipeHere’s my classic New York baked cheesecake recipe and it is absolutely fail proof… This cheesecake is creamy on the inside, and has a golden crust on the outside. Delicious!

    Well have you ever.

    Somebody somewhere here at home liked this baked cheesecake recipe so so much obviously. Because I had a lot of trouble saving a slice for myself in the end…

    I wonder who the culprit could possibly be?

    Any idea, hubs?

    What I do know is that this baked cheesecake recipe never fails!

    I made this one a couple of times now.

    Fail Proof

    This treat always comes out of the oven perfectly.

    A delicious fail proof baked cheesecake recipe!

    The cheesecake is set in the middle, excellent texture.

    Nice golden brown color on top.

    I used the classic digestive biscuits to make the base layer, but you can use any type of similar biscuit.

    I have even seen recipes use black Oreo crumble.

    It also reminds me a little of my no bake Oreo cheesecake actually!

    Preparing the ingredients is peanuts.

    I love that smooth and soft layer of digestive biscuits underneath! Only make sure to keep an eye on the cake when it is baking.

    The top of the cake can turn black quickly depending on how your oven feels about baking.

    You want to give it a deep golden color, but don’t char it.

    To be really sure, just place a sheet of tinfoil on top about halfway though cooking time before it is too late.

    Then remove it a couple of minutes before the end of baking time if you want the cheesecake to get a little more color.

    Afternoon Coffee

    A fresh cup of coffee, a slice of freshly baked cheesecake next to it…

    Yum!

    Enjoy!
