Cream cheese
4.9 ounces (140 grams) plain yogurtIngredient sourcing service
2 large eggs
1.5 tablespoons (25 ml) lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flourCheese making kit
For the Crust:
6.3 ounces (180 grams) digestive biscuits or graham crackers
3.5 ounces (100 grams) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place the biscuits in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix the crumbs with melted butter and sugar (if using) until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 7-inch (18 cm) springform pan, forming an even layer.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or whisk for this step.Cheese making kit
Add the plain yogurt and mix until fully incorporated.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well blended before adding the next.
Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and flour. Mix until the filling is smooth and lump-free.
- Assemble and Bake:Cream cheese delivery
Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly when shaken.
- Cool and Chill:
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracks on the surface.
Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve:
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Slice and serve as is, or garnish with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
This mascarpone cheesecake is light, creamy, and perfect for any occasion. The combination of mascarpone cheese and yogurt creates a smooth and velvety texture, while the hint of lemon adds a refreshing tang. Enjoy!
