Easy Hot Cheese Cake Recipes

PHILADELPHIA 3-STEP CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with a mixer on low speed until completely blended. Beat in the eggs until blended.
• Pour mixture into the graham cracker crust.
• Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is light golden brown, the edges have set, and the center is still a little jiggly. Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature to cool. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving. Enjoy!

HOT CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F. Butter the inside of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add the butter, hot chocolate mix and salt, and pulse until the mixture comes together and holds its shape when squeezed. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, and press it into the bottom to make an even layer. Bake until the crust is just firm, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Place the pan on a large piece of foil, and fold the foil up the sides of the pan. (This helps seal the pan, to keep water out while baking.)
• For the filling: Wipe out the food processor. Pulse the cream cheese, sugar, hot chocolate mix and sour cream until completely smooth, without any lumps, scraping down the side of the bowl a few times. Add the eggs and vanilla, and pulse until incorporated. Pour the filling into the crust, and set the pan inside a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to go halfway up the side of the springform pan (but not above the foil).
• Bake the cheesecake until the edge is set but the center jiggles slightly (when you gently shake the pan, the cheesecake should move in a cohesive wave motion), 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off, and open the door for a few seconds to let out some heat. Close the door, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven until cooked completely through, 1 hour more.
• Transfer the springform pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge, and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature. Wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
• Before serving, cut the marshmallows on the diagonal, and arrange them, cut-side down, in a neat line all over the top edge of the cheesecake.

• Set oven to 350 °F.
• Generously grease a 8 or 9-inch square glass baking dish or a 9-inch glass pie plate (or double the complete recipe and bake in a 13 x 9-inch glass pan).

• For the base; process the butter with sugar and egg for 1 minute, scraping down sides of the bowl if necessary.
• Add in dry ingredients and process just until the dough begins to form a ball around the blades (about 10 seconds).
• Pat the mixture into prepared baking dish.
• For the filling; process the dry cottage cheese in the processor for 15 seconds.
• Add in eggs, sugar and pinch salt, process 15 seconds longer.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in milk until smooth and combined then pour through the feed tube while machine is running; process for 10 seconds longer or until well mixed.
• Pour over the base and then sprinkle with reserved cornflake topping.
• Bake for 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
