6 delicious cheesecake recipes to delight the whole family
Whether your sweet tooth steers you towards something bejewelled in berries or coated in chocolate, cheesecakes make for an excellent dessert all year round.
In no particular order, here are 10 recipes to try at home, whether you want to impress the whole family at your next event or want to dig in solo for a cheesecake demolition (no experience required).
Caramel and chocolate go hand in hand, so it only makes sense to pair Caramello with cake. And with a prep time of only 20 minutes (though 4 hours are recommended for setting), this sweet treat can be yours in record time after the cake craving strikes.
In another take on a classic combo, Woolworths’ recipe promises a 45 minute prep time, with only four steps. Best yet, it doesn’t require baking, so there’s no fear of burning it before you even get the chance to enjoy it.
RecipeTin Eats' Nagi Maehashi credits bargain mangoes for this recipe, and no matter its humble origins, the multitude of ways this one can be played with makes it the perfect base to experiment. Plus, Nagi lists her notes, tips, and tricks to help any baker through the process.
For KitKat lovers, and avid fans of mint chocolate, this recipe is a must. It provides a grand opportunity to get creative with decorating too, though it could be a bit of a challenge to improve upon the surewire winner KitKat ring.
With lemon curd involved, is there ever any need to say more? This recipe, although from a Canadian, gives bakers the option to swap their measurements to metric for an easier experience. And even more, you can edit the portion size, so no more guessing while adjusting the recipe to suit.
And last but certainly not least is the bouncy and brilliant Japanese cheesecake. These cakes, also known as a cotton cheesecake or a soufflé cheesecake, cannot be missed. And with notes from recipe author Kat Lieu to assist, now is as good a time as any to give it a go.
The OverSixty team shared their favourite cheesecake flavours too, and though they may not all be family friendly, they’re certainly nothing short of absolutely scrumptious.
