Instructions
Making Simple Churro Cheesecake for Parties can be straightforward if you follow these steps precisely:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.
3. Press the Crust: Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Make sure it’s even and compact for a sturdy base.
4. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy and smooth.
5. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
6. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
7. Add Flour and Cinnamon: Sprinkle in the flour and cinnamon, mixing just until smooth.
8. Pour the Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place the cheesecake in your preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
10. Cool Down: Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour to prevent cracking.
11. Refrigerate: After cooling in the oven, carefully remove the cheesecake from the oven and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully set.
12. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together for the topping.
13. Add Topping: Once the cheesecake has cooled and set, gently sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top just before serving.
14. Serve: Slice the cheesecake and serve with whipped cream if desired, for added richness.
These simple steps will guide you in creating a truly amazing Simple Churro Cheesecake that everyone will love.
