If you haven't tried New York cheesecake yet, trust me, you're missing out.
By the way, in order to taste the famous dessert, it is not necessary to go to a cafe - you can prepare it yourself, since the process is not difficult and does not take much time, reports Yulia Arkhipova , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
First, of course, you need to get the necessary ingredients. You will need:
- 300 g shortbread cookies;
- 150 g butter;
- 100 g sugar;
- 500 g ricotta cheese;
- 3 eggs;
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest;
- 1 pinch of vanillin.
Crush the cookies into crumbs and mix with soft butter, and when the mixture is soaked, place it in a baking dish, forming a crust with sides.
The cheesecake base needs to be baked for about 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees, and then it needs to be cooled.
The next thing to do is separate the whites from the yolks and beat them until they form a thick foam.
In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta with sugar, then add the yolks, zest and vanilla and mix again.
All that remains is to carefully fold in the egg whites using a spatula and pour the finished mixture into the mold with the cake.
Bake the cheesecake for an hour at 170 degrees. First, it should cool in the oven with the door open, and then in the refrigerator, where it will spend at least 4 hours.
