Yummy Cheesecake • Farmhouse Magic Blog

Today Farmhouse Magic Blog is blogging about a yummy cheesecake.

This is actually a photograph of Ina Garten’s Mixed Berry Cheesecake recipe which was homemade by one of our Readers and submitted to our blog.

The fresh strawberries, raspberries and blue berries look absolutely mouth-watering.

They are apparently going out for burgers for dinner with friends, and then over to her home for his yummy cheesecake dessert.

Cheesecake Recipe

Apparently, there are several sites with this cheesecake recipe, so I’m not repeating it at this time.

Ina’s recipe calls for the zest from two lemons plus pure vanilla extract. These two ingredients adds lots of flavor to the cheesecake.

Ina’s Mixed Berry Cheesecake recipes offers a few tips such as:

Use cream cheese, sour cream and eggs at room temperature for best results. I once made a cheesecake and did not follow this tip. The batter had chunks of cream cheese which would not mix into the batter.
Beat the batter until it is light and fluffy. Do not under beat.
Cheesecake recipes usually require a springform pan.

Cheesecakes are generally baked in springform pans.

A springform pan is usually a round cake pan with a removable bottom. It is all held together with a spring collar with a clip at the side.

These pans are, most times, made of metal. Springform pans are also sold in slightly square or rectangular shapes.

To serve a cheesecake unclip the side and carefully slide it out. You can cut and serve it with the bottom of the pan attached.

Or, most times, I remove the pan’s bottom by carefully releasing the bottom with a sharp knife and using two large spatulas to plate.

Cheesecake for dessert–what a special treat!

A Special Thank You to C. for the inspiration for today’s blog and for the Yummy-Looking Cheesecake photograph.
